Open House Tomorrow At Hospital
Griffin Memorial Hospital will
observe open house Saturday
from 2 p.m., to which the public
is invited. Refreshments will be
served.
Inspection of the facilities of the
hospital can be made during that
time. It will also offer an oppor
tunity for the public to get acquain
ted with the hospital staff.
Getting acquainted with local
hospital facilities is doubly import
ant, according to hospital ad
ministrators, as medical care has
shifted from the home to the hos
pital. A new ingredient has been
added to patient care—the highly
technical methods resulting from
the scientific revolution of the
20th century.
The combination of science and
individual patient care has been
the theme of National Hospital
Week, which ends tomorrow.
“We particularly desire the pe
ople of Kodiak to be our guests
here at Griffin Memorial tomor
row,” Sister Hillary stated, “so
that we may become better ac
quainted.”
