Hospitals gain cancer rehab project
Portland
Emanuel
Hospital
and
Good Samaritan Hospital
and Medical Center have
been awarded a $230.283
cancer rehabilitation con
tract, effective Wednesday.
October 1st. 1975.
Funded by the National
Cancer Institute of the
D e p a rtm e n t of H e alth ,
Education and Welfare, the
contract was awarded with
a one-year perform ance
period.
The participation of both
hospitals was made at the
request of the National
Cancer Institute.
As each
hospital has a long standing
interest
in
cancer,
the
Institute felt that the uni
que situation would provide
a test of cooperation be
tween the hospitals and
allow for the joining of
resources and expertise.
The purpose of the pro
gram is to provide coordi
nated rehabilitation care for
the cancer patient, restor
ing his her physical and
mental capacities. Although
individual rehalitative ser
vices presently exist, they
are not offered at a central
location
by
a
specially
trained staff.
W ith the full approval
and active participation of
the attending physician, the
program will attempt to
enroll patients during the
earliest possible stages of
their acute treatment. All
resources necessary for
pro vidin g com prehensive
rehabilitation services to
patients, regardless of tu
mor type, will be provided
by the program
Various
re h a b ilita tio n m o d alities
will be evaluated to deter
mine their effectiveness in
rehabilitating the cancer
patient. Patients and their
families will be actively
involved in the rehabilita
tion process. The combined
efforts of patients and their
families are vitally impor
tant to the long term sue
cess of any rehabilitation
effort.
The contract leadership
will be provided by. princi
pal in v e s tig a to rs , John
Stanw ood, M .D ., p h y sia
trist. and Alan Russakov.
Public
Schools
provides school meals free
or at reduced prices for
ch ild ren
from
fam ilies
whose income levels are at
or below specified levels,
under a federally funded
program.
The federal government
provides financial assistance
to school districts to help
rover the coat of feeding
children from low income
families in order to assure
that all school children have
a balanced and nourishing
meal, according to Harold
Kleiner, deputy supermten
deni
Children from
families
who qualify for participa
lion in the program are
eligible for meals free or at
the price of twenty cents
for lunch and ten cents for
breakfast.

Investigator John Stanwood. M .D study the terms of the $236.283 cancer rehabilitation
contract awarded Emanuel Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center The
contract funding is effective Wednesday. October 1st. 1975
M .D., physiatrist, medical
director. LeRov Groshong,
M .D.. Emanual surgical on
cologist. and associate med
ical director. Harvey Baker,
M .D ., Good Samaritan sur
gical oncologist. They will
be supported by a rehabili
tation team comprised of
two oncological nurses, two
social workers, a contract
administrator and a team
secretary.
The core team
will be supported by a
group of part time team
m em bers and v o lu n te e r
physician consultants.
Rehabilitative team per
sonnel will receive special
training in the care of
cancer patients, including
n e c e s s a r y p s y c h o so
cial support.
"The individual with can
cer frequently has not only
physical disability but may-
have many emotional prob
lems,” D r. Stanwood ex
plained. “The fear of this
disease can undermine all
attempts at physical re
storation. The effect on the
family structure can be
devastating.
"O ur hope is to develop a
total rehabilitation package,
including essential psycho
social support and counsel
ing. and have it readily
available to patients in
flicted with cancer,” he
said.
Adding to Dr. Stanwood's
comments. Dr. Baker said.
"The concept of total re
habilitktion has been used
effectively on patients with
cancerous head and neck
tumors, but has never been
broadened for use on all
types of cancer patients.
Our coordinated team effort
should eventually benefit
patients with all types of
cancer in the entire state.”
The first year of the
program will be devoted to
the planning and develop
ment of rehabilitation pro
tocols and to the implemen
tation of the pilot project
designed to evaluate the
effectiveness of the re
habilitation plan
During
the second year, the pro
gram, expecting to reach
1.200
patients,
will
be
a v a ila b le

throughout the state.
In

These

Mrs Ruth Smalley, coot

the program She said that

time during the year for the

Mrs Smalley added that
the district's current food

their present level despite
rising food and labor coals

Question: Does the Em
ploym ent D iv is io n ’s Job
Service offer help to older
workers in finding employ
ment?
Answer: Yes.
Each of
the Employment Division's
Job Service offices has at
least one person designated
as an older worker employ
ment representative.
Job
loss or change, coupled with
an increasingly rapid rate of
change in technical, social
and economic areas, contri
but«; to the problems faced
by older workers and re
tired people.
Hetired people on fixed
incomes have been identi
Fie«I as the group most apt
to suffer from escalating
inflation. As a result, many
ret.ired people find it neces
sairy to try to return to
w ork for purely economic
re asons.
Other retired
p«*ople may return to work
fo r other reasons such as a
n eed for meaningful activity
o r similar mental or emo
t ional need fulfillment.
The Employment Division
observes the provisions of
the Age Discrimination in
Em ploym ent A r t which
pro hib its d is crim in ato ry
employment practices based
on age. The act specifically
prohibits employers,
em
ploym ent
agencies,
or
unions from rejecting or
failing to refer otherwise
qualified applicants to a job
solely because of age.
Thus, it offers a source of
protection against undue
age discrimination in em
ployment to those between
forty and sixty five years of
age
Experience shows that
older workers trying to
cope with unex fiected job
loss may require special
assistance in order to re
solve th e ir em plo ym en t
problems satisfactorily.
Employment Division of
fices offer job development,
counseling, and re fe rra l
services to all applicants
who need such services.
