ANNUAL REPORT
STURDY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
January 8, 1923.
To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council:
We are submitting herewith the tenth annual report of the operation of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital covering the year 1922, together with reports from the Treasurer, Hospital Superintendent, and Hospital Aid Association.
While the aggregate of patients was not as large as in 1921 due to an unusually slack period during the summer months, yet the hospital at the close of the year had the maximum number of patients at any time in its history, again having to make use of the emergency rooms in the base- ment for private cases. A comparison of the report of the Superintendent with that of a year ago discloses a very large increase in the number of patients for X Ray work, and almost exactly the same number of obstet- rical patients were admitted in 1922 as in 1921,-just one more in fact. The services of the hospital in this department were limited only by our accommodations, as we have taken care of all we could possibly handle.
The new maternity building is nearing completion and we anticipate that this will afford an opportunity for expansion of our obstetrical work early in the coming year.
You cannot get a true picture of the cost of operation of the hospital without reference to the report of the Treasurer of the Hospital Aid As- sociation, which we are appending, and even this does not reflect the many hours of sewing and service contributed by these devoted women.
During the past year, at the suggestion of the local staff, we have made certain changes and additions to our equipment, regulations and staff organization such as to conform with Class A hospitals as standard- ized by the American College of Surgeons. The latter's survey and classifi- cation has not as yet included hospitals as small as ours, but in anticipation of an extension of their field of investigation we are placing ourselves in line with this advanced step in hospital service.
While the opening of the new maternity building will increase the in- come from patients, it will also add materially to the expense of operation and we again invite the attention of our fellow citizens to various methods of financial assistance to the hospital.
1. By becoming a member of the corporation and paying annual dues of $10.00. We had only twenty two of these members last year.
2. By becoming a life member of the corporation which involves a contribution of $50.00. We have only twenty four life members.
3. By the endowment of a free bed for one year at $250. or a perman- ent endowment at $5,000.,-although both these sums are entirely inade- quate for present day costs, having been fixed over ten years ago. At the present time we have only seven permanent and annually endowed beds.

ANNUAL REPORT
4. By sending to the Treasurer any sum of money or by making provision in your will, as several have done and are doing, for endowment gifts and bequests, preferably made with no restrictions except that the income only be at the disposal of the Board of Managers.
For efficient conduct of the hospital and its functions we again record our indebtedness to the Superintendent, her assistants and nursing staff, both the local and consulting staff of physicians and surgeons, all of whom have, by their services and skill, contributed effectively to this useful community benefaction founded in 1913 by the late Ellen A. Winsor in memory of her parents James H. and Adah S. Sturdy, and developed year by year to its present state of service.

The Hospital has been a busy one for the past year. The great in- adequacy of room has made it very difficult to properly care for some of the patients. The emergency-room, which is only supposed to be used for accident cases, has been filled most of the time, chiefly with private patients The X-Ray work has greatly increased during the past year with an in- crease of 172 over the previous year.
The Training school for nurses has been working successfully, con- sidering the great shortage of pupil nurses. Six only were admitted during the year, two of whom proved unsatisfactory, leaving us with a total of fifteen pupil nurses. The lectures to the nurses have been given as usual by the Doctors on the Staff, and I feel deeply grateful to them for their help, as otherwise we would have to provide and pay an instructor for this work.
I hope the Trustees will find it advisable to raise the rates for Private Patients, and so make a greater difference between the ward and private rates. At present the ward rates are $14.00 per week, and private rates $16.00 per week and upwards. These are very much lower rates than are charged in any other Hospital.
Respectfully submitted,
G. G. RICE, R. N.
