Hospital is antiquated, says 1 Fewer than half of Newberry County Hospital’s beds meet na tional standards as established by the Hill-Burton requirements, according to a report by the State Division of Community Planning. The hospital has 71 beds, but only 30 of those conform to the stipulations of the Hill-Bur ton act. In addition, the report stated that “the hospital needs at least 115 general hospital beds to meet today’s demand.” More than one-third of the year, patients must be placed in the hallways because of in adequate space at the hospital, according to Tom Buzhardt, Chairman of the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Even when rooms are avail able, in the critical part of the hospital, many beds suffer from an inadequate heating and cool ing system. “Take for example, in our 8-bed ward which is pro bably, much to our regret, the only one of its kind in the state,” said Buzhardt, “some of the beds are practically sit ting on our old fashioned ra diators.” “In the winter time,” he ad ded, “the patients at the far end of the ward are chilly, and the poor patients next to the radiator are burning up.” The same thing is true with our win dow unit air conditioners in the summer,” Buzhardt pointed out, “because there just is no even flow of circulation.” “Another major problem we have with our rooms in the cen tral part of the building is that electrical outlet, are inade quately placed in the room,” he added. “There are times when our nurses have to crawl under the beds to plug ma chines into the outlet, and there are times when even these few minutes are critical,” “One of the most important departments in any hospital sy stem is the laboratory,” said Buzhardt, “and this is an ex tremely critical problem in our hospital.” “First of all, it is beyond be lief how crowded this depart ment is, with three technicians and our antiquated equipment in space less than the size of a carport or garage. It is not as large or modem as the kit chens in today’s average home. “When our technician does a blood count, she nearly knocks her head off when she bends over because the few cabinets that we have are built over the counter blocking access to our equipment. “What complicates matters even further, are the outpatient clinics we have on Monday afternoon and Friday morning. Take into consideration the lack of space in the lab, then add a dozen or so people waiting in the hallway to get into the lab, add. to this the need for X-rays for a patient on a stretcher, and we have a totally impossible situation,” Buzhardt stated. There is no waiting room for outpatients. Only one bathroom is available to be used by out patients, regular patients in the lab, lab technicians, X-ray room patients, and X-ray technicians. When inpatients come down for X-rays, they usually wear their hospital gowns, and they must suffer the embarassment of walking through the entire crowd of outpatients sitting in the hall. As one doctor put it, “we have the capacity of a 20 bed hospital as far as our X-ray department is concerned, but yet we’re doing the work for a 70 bed hospital, and needing to increase this capacity to 115 beds.” “Only one-patient can be X-rayed at the time, therefore,” said Buzhardt, “if there is any sort of emergency or disaster, then the patients at Newberry Hospital will be faced with an unholy situation.” “The problem at Newberry Hospital can only be cured,” Buzhardt pointed out, “if the vo ters will vote yes on our refe rendum on November third. After all, we’re talking about health care for our very own selves.” Bishop to visit here Sunday On Sunday, October 25, the Right Reverend John Adams Pinckney, Bishop of the Dio cese of Upper South Carolina, will make his annual visitation to St. Luke’s and St. Monica’s Episcopal Churches. The Bishop will celebrate the Holy Eucha rist and administer the rite of Holy Confirmation. The other purpose of his annual visitation is to inspect the Parish Records and to obtain information re garding the state of the con gregations, spiritual and tem poral. After the 11 A. M. service at St. Luke’s, there will be a covered-dish luncheon in the Pa rish House in honor of the new Communicants and the Bishop.
