Show Thursday. November 12. 1981 Uintah Basin Standard 22 pansion will offer medical betterment With the finl word on the proposed expansion o( the Duchesne County Hospital only several days away, anticipation for improved facilities is beginning to run high with hospital staff and county residents. According to Chad Evans, Hospital Administrator, the proposed addition will fulfill many needs now expressed at the hospital. The first of these needs is that of additional bed space. The plans call for the construction of 10 new beds, the majority of which will be in private rooms. All beds will be moved out of the existing building and placed in the addition. The first floor of the twotory structure will house the OB, emergen- labor- cy, physical therapy. inhalation therapy, storage, story, bookkeeping, and central supply. The second floor will house all medical and well surgery surgical patients suites. Evans stressed this construction will allow the hospital to isolate surgery and medical patients from the rest of the hospital thereby providing for a better recovery atmosphere. Chad also said that with the increased Intensive Care Units and the Critical Care Units, they hops to attract specialists, thus allowing them to expand these two areu further. One of the major advantages to the addition, expressed by Evans, is that of having the admitting near the emergency room. He pointed out that the existing waiting room and admissions area will be used for a waiting room, while admission will be moved into the new area. He said this will allow for leu congestion, plus a separation of patients and visitors. Along with improvements in admitting, the OB facilities will be greatly improved. Chad said the new hospital will employ the suite concept". He said this means that nurses watching OB patients wont be required to run between surgery, ICU, and maternity. He said the nurses in this area will be responsible for OB patients only. The addition will give the hospital a much better eonfigeration. With the additional bed space. u according to Evans, the hospital will not have to worry so much about having the proper number of male and female patients to .best utilize bed space. He added that nurses will be able to cover the hospital mors efficiently without covering as much territory. The new construction will also afford several other advantages.

In his declaration, Mayor Shields quoted from a recent report released by the National Geographic Society which contained some very thought provoking points. Worth consideration in particular are six basic truths about energy which the report says people e must understand to find solutions to the problems Of demand for energy versus supply and to get through the critical years until solutions are ready. 1. We are not running out of energy yet. Our wealth of energy raw materials will help in the coming years if it is used wisely. 2. Fossil fuels - eoal oil and gas are limited and cannot be replaced, once used. 3. A technological "quick fix is wishful thinking because of the limits of technology, the complexity of problems, and the socialinstitutional obstacles. 4. There is no free lunch. Every proposal for adding to our energy supply involves hidden costs, unpleasant side effects, and uncertainties. 5. The energy problem is global With growing interdependences, ener long-rang- gy problems feeing one area, one state, one region, or one country are not independent situations. 6. Energy efficiency and conservation are all important from now on. The effective utilization of all our natural resources in the most efficient way is not only the cleanest, least expensive, and least vulnerable energy option, it is also essential to our getting safely through the critical years ahead. To celebrate the week, according to Mayor Shields, there are several energy projects underway. The Community Energy Committee awarding a $50 Savings Bond to the student in each of grades three six at Roosevelt East through Elementary for the best conservation is poster. A free workshop on wood stove installation and safety will be conducted at the Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center from p.m. on November 11. Fire Chief Burke Eldredge will be on hand to answer questions. Free literature on energy conservation can be picked up by contacting 7-- 9 Joel Hatch, City Energy Coordinator, at the Roosevelt City Building, or Peggy Deller, manager, Public Relations for Moon Lake Electric Association, at 722-500- 1, 722-244- PUT GUM!
