ANNUAL REPORT
Charge of Operating Room-Miss Helen Webb Historian-Mrs. Clara H. Rhodes Dietitian-Miss Marie A. Clarke Report of the Board of Managers
To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council :
We submit herewith the thirteenth annual report of the Board of Managers of the Attleborough Hospital operating the Sturdy Memorial Hospital for the City of Attleboro.
With this you will find the report of the Treasurer, audited by certi- fied public accountants, whose certification is attached; report of the Treasurer of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital Campaign, also examined and approved by the accountants, report of the Superintendent of the Hospital also that of the Treasurer of the Hospital Aid Association, which continues to function so effectively in supplying many of the hos- pital needs.
The outstanding achievement of the year was the successful comple- tion of the campaign for a substantial new addition an- nounced in our report of a year ago. Undertaken in February with an enthusiasm on the part of the subscribers and workers unparalleled in the history of our community, it was brought to a successful conclusion on February 9th, with total pledges of over $392,000, our objective being $300,000.
The new construction has already progressed to such a point as to give adequate evidence of a substantial plant in which all our citizens may properly take pride, and it is scheduled for completion on July 1, 1926.
The changes involved in re-locating the Sturdy Homestead, former- ly the main hospital, unavoidably occasioned some disturbance in the operation of the hospital for several months, and this you will note is reflected in slightly decreased income from the patients, which, com- bined with the added cost of operation, results in a net operating de- ficit for the year of $5,533.45-more than twice as large as a year ago.
We think it is fair to assume that under normal conditions our re- ceipts during the past year would have exceeded those of a year ago to such an extent as to materially reduce this operating deficit, but, as has been called to your attention previously, our income from patients and from invested funds is not adequate for operating expenses. This is a condition which obtains in other institutions of similar character to a far greater extent than with us, and we believe that the deficit in the operating of Sturdy Memorial Hospital can be nearly, if not entirely, obviated, by a substantial interest in our annual memberships of $10.00 per year. We had only twenty-four of these last year, the same as in 1924.
At the time we were discussing with the Chamber of Commerce the desirability of undertaking a campaign for funds for the new addition this question of annual maintenance was brought up, and the suggestion was made that we ought to have no difficulty in securing at least 500 members. Such an accomplishment, adding $5000 annually to the in- come of the hospital, would be of material help in taking care of our deficit.
To the successful administration of the hospital and its place in the hearts of our people we are very largely indebted to the Superintendent, her assistants and nursing staff, and both the local and consulting staff of physicians and surgeons.
We respectfully request your serious consideration to the sugges-

tion that the city provide for the installation of an eight-inch main from Park Street to be carried to a hydrant located at some convenient point near the center of the hospital grounds, to be determined in consultation with the Superintendent of Public Works and the Chief of the Fire De- partment as a measure of both protection and service.

From April to August, during the time that the old Sturdy Building was being moved, we had to care for patients in the Nurses' Home, re- ducing the number of beds from thirty-five to nineteen. We planned only to care for the most urgent cases, 251 patients were cared for dur- ing that four months. We owe a great deal of thanks to the doctors for their patience and consideration during that time and also to the Nurses and employees of the Hospital for their willingness to "make the best of everything," for it was a very trying period for us all.
Compared to the previous year the following difference in work done is noted :
This year we admitted 151 more patients 32 more obstetrical patients
136 more private patients
19 more births 15 more ward patients
100 more surgical patients 13 more free patients
32 more X-Ray Examinations were made

The Training School for Nurses had their graduating exercises in June, four nurses graduated. That our nurses are being well trained in theory and practice is evinced by their success in passing the State Board Examination. Seven went up for the examination in October with just one failure.
The number of pupil nurses in training is fifteen. This number will have to be greatly increased in order to take care of the new Hospital.
The following lectures and classes have been given during the year : "Materia Medica' Dr. F. V. Murphy
"Chemistry" Dr. J. W. Battershall
"Medical Diseases" Dr. W. E. Rounseville
"Diseases of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat" Dr. A. C. Conro .Dr. H. L. Rich

It is with great pleasure and appreciation that I mention the won- derfully helpful work of the Hospital Ladies' Aid Association. Their donation of an electric gauze cutter for the use of the Operating Room has proved of wonderful value to us, both as a labor and time saver. A steam press for the laundry was given also by them, as well as a coffee urn, marking machine, adding machine and a liberal supply of linen of every description.
With great regret I mention the recent break in our staff by the death of Dr. W. E. Rounseville.
Dr. Rounseville was a valuable member of our staff, ever since the Hospital opened, he took an active and personal interest in it and was ready at any time to give his services. The nurses will feel his loss, as each year he gave them their medical lectures which were very instruc- tive and helpful to them.
Respectfully submitted,
GWENDOLYN G. RICE,
Superintendent.
