Mother to Stay With Children
By encouraging the mother
of its smallest patients to re
main at their children's bed
side, Bogue Valley Memorial
hospital is keeping abreast of
the latest concepts of pedi
atric hospital care.
A recent article in a na-
1 1 o n a 1 pictorial magazine
stresses the need for emotion
al support in the pediatric
'ward, and states that a par
ent's presence can ease fears
and speed recovery without
upsetting hospital routine.

According to the article, the
importance of such a system
has long been recognized, but
only a few hospitals have been
able to put it into practice.
San Francisco's Mt. Zion Hos
pital and Medical center is
cited in the story as a leading
exponent of the plan.
Eliminates Day Hours
In adopting this policy,
Rogue Valley- hospital has
eliminated day visiting hours
for patients entirely in the
ward, and even provides cots
and reclining chairs for par
ents who wish to remain over
night.
The all night visit, how
ever, is limited to visitors call
ing on private-room patients,
Charles Gustafson, hospital
administrator, noted.
In some cases, dependent on
the, child's condition, the phy
sician in charge of a case may
restrict visiting privileges, he
said, but otherwise the hos
pital not only welcomes the
mother, but demonstrates its
hospitality by serving her cof
fee from the cart service oper
ated by the Rogue Valley La
dies auxiliary.
Alleviating a child's fear is
given special concern in sur
gical cases, and before the pa
tient is taken into the oper
ating room he, is already
sleepy from a sedative. Mean
while, his parents are kept in
formed of the surgical pro
gress, notified of its comple
tion, and advised exactly
when the child will be return
ed to his room.
Contribute to Moral
Also contributing to the
morale of the pediatric divis
ion is the service given by
junior members of the hos
pital auxiliary. Called
Candy-Stripers" after their
red and white striped uni
forms, the young aides help
feed the youngsters, read to
them, join them in watching
television, and in general add
to the cheerful atmosphere of
of the youthful ward. Their
activities ara. under the super
vision of pediatric head nurse,
Mrs. Mildrd Luschen.
Not neglected in the busy
routine of the hospital is a
child's mealtime preferenbes.
The hospital's chief dietitian,"
Mrs. Evelyn MacLeod, visits
each patient personally to de
termine his favorites. Birth
days and holidays are also
observed by the hospital kit
chen and call for special tray
favors, all of which helps the
valley medical center to in
ject a homelike atmosphere
into its children's ward.
A comment frequently made
by mothers to Mrs. Luschen is,
"I think it's wonderful that a
large hospital can offer such
personalized service."
