C _ED Fijikljj N Hospital accreditation is a program set up by the physicians of the United States so that the public should have assurance that the hospitals earning and receiving the "Certificate of Accreditation" have voluntarily met the high standards set and are continually striving to offer the BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE.

Its very philosophy is based on a spirit of unselfishness which is hard to find to the same degree in any other profession. It is a doctors' program, operated by doctors and with standards set by doctors -- BUT ENTIRELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PATIENT. The Accreditation Program is a voluntary service which provides hospitals with a yardstick to measure the success of their ef-forts in doing a good job of caring for patients.

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals is comprised of four medical and hospital organizations:The American College of Physicians, the American College of Surgeons, the American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association. It was established because the doctors of America realize that they are dealing with a very precious commodity of man -- his health and welfare!

The St. Cloud Hospital proudly displays its "CERTIFICATE OF ACCREDITATION". Every three years a highly trained physician inspects the hospital plant, facilities and services to check on its continued high standards. St. Cloud Hospital was so surveyed on July 16, 1959 by Dr. E. F. Weir of Chicago. On August 19, Dr. Kenneth E. Babcock, Director of the Joint Com-mission, set a letter of reapproval, officially giving the hospital THE HIGHEST APPROVAL RATING POSSIBLE.

SCHOOL OF NURSING COMMENCEMENT HELD August 15th,

A High Mass in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary initiated the graduation day ceremonies for forty-two seniors of the St. Cloud Hospital School of Nursing. At the breakfast honoring the senior class, each graduate received her school pin from Sister Cassian, Director of the School of Nursing. The day Was climaxed by the conferring of diplomas by Bishop Bartholome, at St. Mary's Cathedral. The Right Reverend Cyril Popelka of New Prague delivered the address. Following the graduation ceremonies, the graduates and their relatives and friends were invited to an informal reception on the lawn of the Nurses' Home. (See opposite page for picture of graduates)

COMINGS & GOINGS. We are happy to announce that four new graduates of our School of Nursing are now employed here. They are: Miss Gelhar in the operating room, Miss Kileen and Miss Skwira on 5 North, and Miss Maybury in pediatrics.

Marion Town, clinical instructor on 2 South is attending the University of Minn. where she will begin work on her Masters degree in nursing education.

Miss Karn, who attended summer school at the University of Minnesota, has resumed her duties as clinical instructor on 3 North.

"Ray Street" News September 11th was a day of rejoicing mixed with a little touch of sadness as we said farewell to one of our family at a surprise coffee break in the x-ray depart-ment. Our prayers and good wishes go with Angela Helfter who is beginning her junior year at the College of St. Benedict this fall. Miss Helfter has been a valuable member of our office personnel for the past four years, helping out in between high school and college classes; we hope she won't forget to come back when school is over.

Our good wishes and God's blessings also to Marlene Reiter, R0T0, who is leaving the 18th of September for new surroundings in Great Falls, Montanna. Marlene has been with us since her graduation from the School of X-Ray Technology in 1957. We will surely miss her and hope she will enjoy her new position at the Great Falls Clinic,

Congratula-tions are also in order as Jim has recently become a proud "papa" of a baby boy

Bob Diederich starts his pre-pharmacy year at State College this year and will continue working part-time. After this

year, he will begin his professional course at the University of Minnesota

College of Pharmacy. Our best wishes and God's blessings as Bob begins his studiesS '

CONGRATULATIONS to our four anesthesia students who graduated August 15th. They will finish their sixteen month course on September 11th. Even though it means a sad goodbye to three of them, we sincerely share their satisfaction in having reached the finishing line.

Sister Doloretta will return to her community in St. Paul to receive her appointment. Miss Kim will stay with us at St. Cloud Hospital for a few months. Miss Shannon and Miss Crandall are planning on terminal vacations be-fore they decide where they will work. Where-ever they go,our love and prayers go with them.

Pictured to the right are the graduates: Elizabeth Shannon, Kyung Kim, LeMay Crandall and Sister Mary Doloretta.

ANCIENT HISTORY Way back on July 12th the anesthesia students and faculty went on

a field trip to Methodist Hospital in Minneapolis. Dr. Ratella, Chief of the Anesthesia Department there, generously gave us the major portion of the afternoon to show us his department in a hospital so new, that some areas are not yet completed. After this we paid a quick visit to V.A. Hospital, then stopped for a warm welcome and a refreshing supper at St. Mary's Convent in St. Paul, home of Sister Doloretta. All in all, in spite of the heat, it was an informative and enjoyable day °

S CELEBRAT On July 18th, the St. Cloud Hospital School of

Medical Technology graduated its 41st student when Claude Przybilla received his diploma. Mr.Przybilla began his year of study and internship at the St. Cloud Hospital last July after having completed

two years of pre-requisite study at the St. Cloud State College. Claude's graduation required no

valedictory since he is remaining at the St. Cloud Hospital to be employed as a Medical Technologist in the laboratory. Pictured above are

Sister Michael, June and Claude Przybilla

The School of Medical Technology has increased its student roster to nine mem-bers with the advent of four new students who arrived to begin their training on

September 13th. The new students are: Eileen Lynch of International Falls; Helen Donahue of New Richmond, Wisconsin; Gretchen Dailenbach of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin and Anita Parrish of St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Dale Ellison of St. Cloud„ began his training on July 6th. He was joined by Miss Paz Dichupa of the Phillipines who arrived on July 26th to begin her training in our school.

We extend a hearty welcome to these new students and add a good luck and God bless you as you begin your new adventure in the field of Medical Technology!

Technologist's Prayer

0 Lord, lend sharpness to my eyes That with the aid of stains and dyes

And microscope's enlarging sight The little things may come to light.

WELCOME. . to our five new anesthesia students, complete with new pencils, fresh note books and eager minds. After having graduated from an accredited school of nursing and having passed state board examinations, they are qualified to begin this specialized training program. Two are familiar faces at the hospital, especially 5 North, where both Eileen Stafford and Helena Shin worked before starting anesthesia school on the first of September. Miss Stafford is a St. Cloudite; Miss Shin is from Seoul, Korea. They were joined by three newcomers: Sister Mary Paula, Sister Gertrude and Sister Mary Virginia, all Benedictines. Sister Mary Paula comes to us from St. Gertrude's Convent in Cottonwood, Idaho. Sisters Gertrude and Mary Virginia are from St. Martin's Convent, Sturgis, South Dakota. This is our first experience with five students in one class, but even after only a week we would be loath to give up any one of them.

"SUGAR AND SPICE AND ALL THINGS NICE" A prospective member for our anesthesia school, class of 1980, was born August 26th to Mr. and Mrs. Don Schmidt. Mrs. Schmidt was very recently a member of our anesthesia family. Congratulations to Mother and Father! We will be expecting you, Terese May, in 1980!

That I may speak and say "'Tis this," Lest Doctors diagnose amiss,

That pain may be relieved through me The tiny things, Lord, let me see!

The little things like germs and spores That make for growths and spots and sores, Like cocci, fungi, parasitic

Mrs. Judith Leach, not pictured here,was a transfer student who completed her last three months of training at the St. Cloud

Hospital School of X-Ray Technology. The six graduates received their diplomas from Bishop Bartholome during the graduation exercises of the Schools of Nursing, Anesthes-iology and X-Ray Technology, held at the St. Mary's Cathedral on August 15th.

CAROLYN 130TZ FLORENCE 5TORKAMP

At present,all but one of the graduates have taken up the duties of qualified technicians at various places. Mrs. Judith Leach joined our graduate staff here at St. Cloud; Carolyn Botz and Elsie Kalscheuer are working at Fargo, North Dakota; Florence Storkamp at Aitkin and Carolyn Van Sloun at the hospital in Buffalo. Roselyn Bohlig has not yet decided where she will be located and is at present enjoying a vacation at the lake.

JM C Summer means vacation. . . what sports d doctors like best? The answer must be fishing, and especially fishing in Canada and northern Minn ta. If you ask them,

on water and before summer ended was able to manage with only one ski.

Not everyone went fishing. . DR. P. HALENBECK traveled through south-western United States and had 4th of July dinner with old friends at St. Benedict's Hospital, Ogden, Utah.

DR. and MRS.F. BAUNGARTNER had a western mountains vacation with their "intermedi-ate children."

DR. GAIDA tells of a trip with his family through the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. DR. and MRS. E. SCHMITZ renewed old friendships of student days in Seattle, Washington.

R. FIDELMAN attended a course in Office ynecology.

On July 16 the Medical Staff entertained DR. EARL WEIR of the J.C.A.H, at luncheon. The possibility of establishing an intern program here was discussed and as a result of the encouragement given by 'Dr. Weir ? a committee was appointed to study the re-quirements of an approved program, DR. J,4 BEUNING is Chairman; DRS. L. VERANTH and S. KOOP are working with him.

DR. A. DAVIS attended the meeting of the College of American Patholigistsin Chicago on September 7 to 12.

When the Minnesota Academy of General Practice convenes in Minneapolis on Sep-tember 22 and 23, DR, N. FIDELMAN, Presi-dent of the Central Minnesota Chapter,will preside at the discussions on Wednesday,

DR. P. HALENBECK has been appointed to the board of representatives from Stearns, Benton and Sherburn counties which selects personnel for the Mental Health Center re-cently established in St, Cloud, DR, JOHN McNAMARA is Director of the Center.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the family and friends of DR.THOMAS FLEMING, and also to DR. JAMES KELLY whose father died in early September.

School days are over for the five graduates from the School of X-Ray Tech-nology. After spending two years in technical and practical training in the x-ray field, they are ready to competently fill and position in a general x-ray department as well as assist with closed reductions and application of casts which is not a procedure routinely performed in an x-ray department.

All of the x-ray personnel,but especially the senior quads, were a little excited the 27th of August when we welcomed six eager freshmen students into our school:

Marie Decker, Cold Spring Gloria Deslauriers, Currie Kay Fox, Wahpeton, N.D.

Carole Jordan, Annandale Rose Mary Studer, Foley Mervwyn Mock, Avon

Welcome to our student body:

The UNDEMS were off to Iowa for a visit home, the MURNS visited Doctor's parents in Ely, Minnesota. DR. JONES traveled to Ohio to see his sister. DR. FIDELMAN and his two oldest sons made a flying visit to a grandmother in California.

The BROKER and WIIIROCK children hada won-derful time in Chicago's splendid plana-tarium, aquarium, zoos and museums; of natural history and science. Their dads enjoyed it, too!

But summer was not all vacation. . • • DR. C. NESSA spent some days at the Uni-versity of Minnesota studying isotopes.

Why Gamble?

We have often heard "It's a fire proof building, so why worry about fire and fire destruction?" Yes, the building in itself may be constructed of fireproof material, but what of the inner parts of the building? Let's take our hospital for an example. Its structure is brick, the floors are fire proof. But this is the hazard: we have beds, explosive gases, high-power electrical equipment which can easily cause a fire. Also, we cannot forget that personnel and patients themselves constitute a definite fire hazard.

Most important in any fire prevention program is knowing what to do in care of fire. Do you know what to do when you discover a fire? These are the five major steps:

1. Remove patient from hazardous area. 2. Close door. 3. Notify hospital switchboard that there is a fire. Tell

her what is burning, if the fire is out or not; give your name and MOST IMPORTANT—the location of the fire.

4. Close doors in hallway. 5. Fight fire with proper extinguishers.

Your fire extinguishers are kept in strategic locations on each floor. Also, there is a fire extinguisher near each nursing station. If you are not familiar with the types of extinguishers and how to use them, ask your immediate supervisor.

Another timely reminder implicit to any fire prevention program is strict adherance to the no smoking rules and to the recommendations that all the center stairway doors be kept closed at all times. This can and should not be overlooked since it is a known fact that smoke and heat travel upward, and that more deaths during a fire are caused by asphyxiation than by actual burns.

Make fire prevention your business by assuming the responsibility of removing any .fire hazards that may exist in your working area.

IS THE PATIENT

RFASONABLE

The patient is the reason why we have a hospital and why you are working here. It is our responsibility to meet the patient's need to the best of our ability.
