Neigh bors of Woodcraft will meet Monday, May 13, at 8 p.m. at the .Moose hall. "Careers that count" has been ! selected as the theme for the current National Hospital ob servance, sponsored annually by the American Hospital associa tion, according to Mrs. George W. Pitts, president of Rogue Valley Memorial Hospital auxiliary. Displays showing some of the career opportunities in the hos pital field will be shown at the tea on Tuesday, May 14, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the hospital penthouse. Statistics show that total hos pital personnel in the nation in creased 57 per cent in the past 10 years, while the number of hospital beds rose only 12 per cent, Mrs. Pitts says. A person nel shortage exists today in spite of great increases in both payroll and the number of em ployees, she stated. This condition resulted from expansion of hospital services, plus the fact that more inten sive care is required for patients who now spend much shorter periods in the hospital than the same illnesses required a few years ago, Mrs. Pitts added. Miss B. J. Larsen, adminis trator of the local hospital, states that about 200 job clossifica- tions exist in the largest hos pitals. Even the smallest hos pitals however, must maintain most of the services found in the larger ones. Rogue Valley Memorial hos pital currently employs about 95 persons to operate facilities for patients occupying the 55 beds. These include the nurses. aides and orderlies which first i come to mind when one thinks of a hospital staff, but the list also includes X-ray and labora tory technicians, pharmacist, radio-isotope technician, and an esthetist. A dietitian, cook, and tray girls are all required to operate the hospital, as are administra tive personnel, bookkeepers, clerks, switchboard operators, secretaries, supply clerk, and laundry workers. Medical record librarians are- essential to the staff, Miss Larsen adds, as are the building engineer, janitors and housekeeping personnel, seamstress and many other em ployees. Special training is required for marry of these jobs, varying in length of time from a few months to several years. Anyone working in the hospital must be trained in the use of " medical terms a job complicated by the fact that some items of supply are known by several different names.
