Show LOCAL HOSPITAL AGAIN APPROVED BYCOLLEGE For the way in which hospitals are recovering from the effects of the greatest war in history, which ended less than two and a half years ago, their administrators, adminis-trators, trustees, medical staffs, and all other personnel deserve the highest praise, declares Dr. Irvin Abell, chairman of the Board of Regents of the American Ameri-can College of Surgeons, in announcing an-nouncing that 3,143 hospitals in the United States and Canada qualified for approval following the thirtieth annual survey completed com-pleted December 31. Locally the Bingham Canyon hospital is one of the approved hospitals. Dr. Abell added: "It is a satisfaction satis-faction to state that, in general, the service rendered by our hospitals hos-pitals today, despite the high costs,, shortages of personnel, and other difficulties which persist, is worthy of warm commendation. commenda-tion. Numerically, the new approved ap-proved list shows only a small increase of 25 hospitals over last year, which is partly because of trie omission of some 75 United States Army hospitals which have ceased to operate. Of. the 3900 hospitals under survey in 1947, 80.6 per cent are approved. Statistics, however, cannot show the whole picture of widespread eagerness to give better service." |
