The center has 24-hour-a-day coverage with a nurse and a physician on duty; it has up-to-date equipment equip-ment to handle emergencies as well as scheduled procedures; and besides the staff of 14 physicians, there are 28 specialists available for specific needs. Free blood pressure checks are offered daily, Monday through Friday, at the Emergency Center; and the center is involved in-volved in the hospital's VIP (Very Important Patient) program. . This means if any care given in the Emergency Center is unsatisfactory, you need only tell the nearest employee. If you are dissatisfied with the results, call the hospital operator who will inform the adminis-trator-on-call. That administrator will get back to you within an hour to discuss the problem. What about the costs? They note that prices everywhere are rising. Hospitals are no exception. The emergency center charge includes the basic charge, which includes the cost of running the center; the physicians fee, which depends on the amount of time spent with the patient; and the cost of any special procedures performed such as x-rays, lab tests, etc. .' Emergency care is given to people who need care, regardless of their ability to pay. What is an emergency emer-gency anyway? An emergency is something some-thing which happens suddenly, and unless something is done soon, serious problems may arise. Insurance companies com-panies usually help pay for costs incurred in the emergency center, but they vary on the amount they will pay, and most policies do not cover routine ailments such as sore throats. Misuse of the Emergency Center for routine non-emergency care contributes to the high costs in the center. You can prevent routine rou-tine ailments from becoming be-coming emergencies by a regular program of health care with your private physician, center personnel say. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the center and their answers.

There are walls to be replastered, bathrooms needing major plumbing repairs, and faulty wiring to be replaced. The decisions to be made are many, and they're important, because every one costs money. One of the most important is choosing an energy system for home heating, cooking, clothes drying and water heating. Making the right choice can save a lot of energy dollars over the years. Natural gas is by far the most efficient energy source for providing heat. It's clean, efficient, reliable energy.
