MMM HOSPITAL BUSY
WITH TONSIL OPERATIONS
Under contract with the Alaska
Public Health Service the MMM
Hospital has treated about 150
children for much needed tonsil and
adenoid operations. 120 of these
children came from villages, south,
east and north of Nome and in
cluded children from 2 years to
teen-agers.
About 120 of these patients had
to have temporary homes prior to
the operation and for a few days
following. As there were no funds
provided to house them an appeal
was made through the churches
and many people gladly opened
up their homes to care for the
young folks as they came and went
during the past two months.
Nurses gave free overtime to take
care of the youngsters when they
arrived at the hospital at odd hours
due to plane schedules.
The people who gave so gener
ously of their time, love and hos
pitality to these children, acting as
foster parents to many who were
away from home for the first time,
so that their health may be cared
for, are showing the spirit of real
Alaskans and deserve recognition.
