Husband Mark seems pleased with personal attention offered by nurse Shirley Johnson and Hospital Administrator Larry Carter. Carter promises efficient and personalized care will continue during and after hospital expansion program. Community EJocpital Announces Expansion the size of the hospital to two and a half times its current size, the hospital will remain a primary care facility. "It is not our intent to become a major surgical hospital such as LDS or Utah Valley," says Carter. He anticipates growth will continue but hopes it will never be 300 or so. "Fifty beds should do us well for 10 years." While major trauma cases will continue to be referred to Utah Valley Hospital, Carter sees growth in services offered at OCH. Last year the hospital treated 10,000 emergency room patients. "We may eventually have to remain open 24 hours, but not now," he says. With the expansion, employment em-ployment will double. At present there are 93 on the payroll. In planning plan-ning for the growth officials will try to keep costs down. "We are still least expensive on a daily basis. For one thing Orem Hospital doesn't need to maintain expensive equipment equip-ment or to provide intensive care equipment in all the hospital rooms. Such things are available at Utah Valley when needed," says Carter. He said Orem Hospital maintains a good relationship with all the hospitals in the valley and he expects ex-pects that to continue. The programatic and design development is the next step in the expansion process and it is estimated that actual construction of the expansion will begin during the first quarter of 1985. rem E:3igSi- The Orem High School forensics team placed first in the 3A division at the Weber Tournament held February 4 and 11 at Weber State College.

Carter. "Our major concern will still be quality care," says Carter. He said it has been the desire of Orem Hospital since its opening in 1981 to expand the facility to better meet the health care needs of local physicians and community with the support of Intermountain Health Care. Although expansion details are still in the planning stage, conceptual concep-tual approval has been given by ICH to expand the hospital to 50 beds compared to its current 20, with a specified number allo.ted to medical, surgical and maternity care. Chairman of the Board of Directors Direc-tors Merrill Gappmayer is excited about the expansion. "One of the neatest things we will be adding will be a women's center. It will be designed to meet all women's needs and will be designed just for women," said Gappmayer. In planning for the addition a member of the board visited such a center in Los Angeles and returned with enthusiasm for the project.
