Show Thursday, May 14, 1970 SOUTH SALT LAKE NEWS Editorial FOSTER PARENTS HONORED YOUR HOSPITAL CARES There were 200 foster parents from Salt Lake County honora dinner sponsored by Maurice Warshaw, Chairman. Salt Lake County Board of Family Services, at the Blind Center, Salt Lake City, Thursday evening. This is in connection with Foster Parent Week as declared by Governor Calvin L. Rampton. Speaking before the foster parents, Richard P. Lindsay, Director, Utah Division of Family Services, reported that there are about 800 foster homes for approximately 1,300 children placed through county offices of the Division. This does not include large numbers of children placed through licensed private and church agencies in Utah. Mr. Lindsay told the group, It should be the birthright of every child to live in a home where love, understanding respect and open communication between parents and children exist. Where death, illness, divorce and a myriad of other problems of parents and children make this birthright an impossibility in the home of a childs natural parents, a good foster home can fill this great human need. A great need exists for additional, foster placement homes." Mr. Lindsay told the group, where parents will open their hearts and their homes to children who cannot continue to live in their natural homes for a variety of reasons. Maurice Warshaw, who hosted the event, complimented the foster parents for their dedication to young people. ed The theme for National Hospital Week this year is Your Hospital Cares. Perhaps it is a good time to ask yourself the question, Do they? You are aware that the hospitals in your community stand ready to meet your health needs day or night, 365 days a year; but to most, the hospital is just a service that might be needed in the future. How is it with you? You may know that your hospital cares, but do you return that concern by taking the time to understand the problems that face your hospital as a community health center? Everyone knows that the cost of hospital services is increasing, but how many have taken the time to understand the reasons for the increase? Consider, a corps of over 270 health workers are required to serve each 100 patients. Even at nominal salary levels the cost to the patient could reach $40 per day. The concentration of expensive, complex, but necessary facilities and equipment needed for the practice of modern medicine and used by all the physicians in the community occasions cost to the a few years ago. For these and many patient other valid reasons related to our personal welfare, it is little wonder that hospital costs exceed the normal cost of living spiral found in our national economy. It is well known to us all that the cost of purchasing and maintaining our automobiles has increased every year. Have you considered that the same inflationary cost applies to the over 10,000 items your hospital must purchase to serve you? Have you considered that much of the new technologies and capabilities of medicine made possible through billions spent in research finds its application only when made available to the public through their hospitals? It increases the cost of hospital care, but in the last 20 years alone 4,500,000 Americans are alive and well today because their hospitals cared enough to incorporate the new into their non-existe- Page 3 at nt WALL PANELING - Wholesale & DICK'S IS UTAH'S CUT-RAT- WOOD SUPER MARKET Sin ce 1956 E CLOSE-OU- T PRE FAB FENCING ft offerings. your hospital cares, and you need to care for your hospital by understanding and supporting its needs as it does yours.
