Are Named Members of the Board of Directors of Santiam Memor ial Hospital at Stayton had an opportunity Thursday night of seeing how the new air conditioning system oper ates, and expressed their ap proval of its installation. They also saw the new wall to wall carpeting in the west patient wing. A nurse said: “it cer tainly makes a difference in the work, and we’re not near- lv as tired at the end of our shift.” Another new device at San tiam Memorial is heart mon itoring equipment. Patients in this special room can be connected with the monitor ing system, and their heart beat is recorded on a small screen in the nurses’ station. One room has been changed into an intensive care room, and another adjacent room is now used as a recovery room. Administrator Gale Chris tensen told the board that at the present time it is not nec essary to have a special nurse where heart patients are kept This is a saving to the patient. The use of the equipment cost the patient $1.50 an hour. This is less than the charge in most hospitals. Christensen also said that non-professional per sonnel at the hospital had been given a raise in pay, but because of a good year in 1967 no increase was made in room rates. Rates at San tiam are the lowest in the Willamette Valley. The administrator was giv en permission by the board to write Stayton Radio & TV giving them the green light on installing television sets in hospital rooms. The sets will be wall mounted, so they will be out of the way. Verne Choate, owner of the firm said installation would meet all fire regulations, and that the sets would have pillow speakers and remote control so patients could operate the sets themselves. Mrs. Lura Fair, president of the hospital auxiliary re- ported they are still making money on their rum mage sale. The Auxiliary also voted to pay six months’ rent of the heart monitoring equip ment, which has been leased for $154.91 per month. Be cause of the high cost of the equipment, the board figured it was cheaper to lease than to purchase.
