Hospital lowers rates
Sacred Heart General Hospital will lower its charges for daily care
and several other patient services, effective today.
Under the new rates, the cost of daily care will be reduced by $3
per day, bringing the charge for care in a 2-bed room down from $116
to $113 per day, and for care in a private room from $126 to $123 per
day. Charges will also be reduced on certain other supportive patient
services.
Sister Monica Heeran, administrator, says the rate reductions
have been made possible by the fact that Sacred Heart is caring for
more patients than had been anticipated. With the trend in usage rising
during the past few months, Sacred Heart expects the new lower rates
to produce sufficient revenue for the hospital to meet its operating
expenses.
Arab students hold show
An Arabian dinner, a show featuring songs, dances and plays
performed by University students and an Arabian art and craft exhibi
tion will be included in a special “Cultural Night” at the University
Saturday sponsored by the campus Organization of Arab Students.
The session, which is open to the public, will begin at 6:30 p.m. in
the EMU Ballroom. Tickets are $5.
Ministry plans events
The Campus Christian Ministry is sponsoring a communications
workshop Thursday night at the Wesley Center, 1236 Kincaid St. The
workshop focuses on body movement and self-exploration, leader
Alan Seeks says.
Seeks, a member of the Happenstance Troupe, will begin the
improvisation class at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to the
public.
A special bible study program will begin Thursday at 1 p.m. in the
Koinonia Center library at 1414 Kincaid St. The class will be led by
Dick Besswick and will address the moral, academic and emotional
needs of individuals.
More information about this program and other Campus Christian
Ministry services is available by calling 344-4219.
