- Hospitals Show
Good Management
It is heartening to know that both of Sa
lem's community-service hospitals ended 1997
in the financial black. That is more than
many hospitals did. despite increased charges
of recent years. And while neither of the
Salem institutions apparently makes any
claim of amortizing a depreciation account to
any extent, they still came out quite well.
Both hospitals would show a much brighter
picture were it not for arrears accounts. Con
stituted . as they are, the Salem institutions
take in everyone in need, regardless of race,
creed, color, financial status or good inten
tions. So the percentage of recovery on
charges assessed is nowhere near as high as
would be demanded of tbe management of
any private business. But still, so far as ac
cepting anyone in need is concerned, we
would not have it any other way.
The two Salem hospitals are meeting well
the increasing demands for facilities as med
ical science finds new and better ways to cope
with human ills. Salem General has a spank
ing new laboratory and tbe first radio-isotope
facility in this area. Salem Memorial is build
ing a fine new wing for surgery and other
hospital uses. We commend the progressive
new and the management of them both. They
cannot be self-sustaining in the true sense of
the word, by the very nature of their obliga
tions but the community which built them
can take pride in the use being made of the
facilities provided.
