Show Roosevelt Hospital Service Contract - Final arrangements have been completed to offer a Hospital Service contract to every single person and every family in the area to be served by the Roose-veit Roose-veit Hospital. An organization will be effected in every conv munity and a campaign will be initiated directly. In the Roosevelt Roose-velt community a campaign committee of members of the J C C will assume the responsibility responsi-bility of contacting . every family to explain the benefits of the plan and enlisted the subscription sub-scription of every family. In the area a committee of people serving purely on a voluntary basis are assuming the same responsibility re-sponsibility in their respective localities. A contract in its final form is designed to become effective October 15, 1944, for one year. Its rates based on actual hospital hospit-al experience provide a contract con-tract for a single person at $10 -00 per year and for a family of 2 or more persons at $20.00 per year. The benefits offered by the plan are as follows: (1) Twenty-one Twenty-one days of hospital care during the year for every person listed in tne contract. If you need more than 21 days your charges per day will be discounted 33 Vz per cent after 21 days have been used, up to a limit of 60 days. (2) Board and bed in a room of three or more beds. (3) General nursing care by the regular nursing nurs-ing staff of the Hospital. (4) Use of delivery room and nursery-care nursery-care under a family type contract; con-tract; the operating" room; anesthesia an-esthesia when given by a hospital hospit-al employee; surgical dressings; use of laboratory; and drugs and medications ordinarily provided by the Hospital. (5) Private or semi-private room by paying the difference in cost over a ward room. (6) An allowance of $4.00 per day for 10 days for emergency emer-gency care in a general hospital elsewhere, when you are away from home, in case of accident or emergency illness. (7) Maternity Matern-ity care after 10 months of participation par-ticipation on a Family contract except that if 700 contracts an in force during the year this limitation will not be effective. Would you need such a plan? Each year, one average family of three members in every five requires hospital care. Accidents and ill-health and sickness strike suddenly, when you least expect them. They cause hardship and distressing worry because few families are prepared, financially, financial-ly, for such emergencies. It is better to pay for hospital care a small amount each year while you are well. The more contracts sold the more and better will be the service available to us. Let's support the movement and welcome wel-come the community volunteer canvasser. |
