BY PROF MCKINLEY BURT W hat frenzied space is it that for eight hours a day, five days a week resem bles nothing so much as the hyperactive area in front of a B road way theatre on opening night? The hoopla o f searchlights and the flash ing bulbs o f photographers is m iss ing, but the energy, diligence [and service] is there, all carefully orga nized. W e’ re describing a very special patient and visitor support service provided by the sophisticated but caring Providence Medical Center at the 49th Street c n tra n c c -a n d across the street at the Providence Plaza Professional Building and ad joining parking structure. It is diffi cult to convey a sense of the chaos that would result if there were not such a system in place to handle the complex interaction of patients, visi tors, professionals, vendorsand sup » * .’À*»*. port organizations. A modern hospital complex re quires an external traffic control just as sophisticated in its im plementation as such internal systems as the delivery of medical care or the operation o f com plex building services from heating to air conditioning. In the particular case, this writer, a former volunteer and pa tient at the center, can speak directly to this point. The Valet Parking Service was implemented about three years ago and is one of a num ber of important support services added in parallel to a constandy expanding, health care d e livery system for our community. Interestingly, Providence M edical Center was the pioneer in the region for this particular amenity and the other hospital providing this service in the Portland area consulted Providence before selling up its own program.
