Show THIS IS NATIONAL HOSPITAL WEEK "The quality of hospital care in a community is the joint responsibility of the community and the hospital," Jackie Williams, Wil-liams, administrator of Beaver County Hospital, said today on the opening of National Hospital Hos-pital Week. "There must be a working partnership between the hospital hos-pital and the community if each person is to realize his heritage of health," Mrs. Williams Wil-liams said. The community's role lies in support of the hospital. Its citizens must serve on the hospital hos-pital governing board; must offer their services in volunteer volun-teer capacities in the hospital; must encourage young people to enter health careers; must belong to prepayment plans which assure stable hospital financing, and must support adequate reimbursement programs pro-grams for the care of welfare patients. Beaver County Hospital is joining other hospitals throughout through-out the country in observing National Hospital Week, May 7-13. This year's theme, "Your Hospital A Community Partnership," Part-nership," emphasizes the need for a reciprocal relationship between hospital and community. |
