MOSES CONE HOSPITAL REVIEW Vol. IV, No. 3 GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA August-September, 1969 Hospital To Raise "Population Explosion Effects" Wages and Rates Herman Cone Lecture Topic A raise in the minimum wage paid by Moses Cone Hospital will become effective October 5 in all departments. The new minimum will be $1.80. This is an increase of 20# from the present minimum of $1.60 which in turn has been raised twice in the past twelve months. Rates to be Raised In order to cover this raise and the constant rise in all operating costs of the hospital, the rates charged for several services and rooms will have to be raised. Progressive Care room rates will be increased $2 per day, making them $16 and $20. In other accommodations, the increases will be by four and five dollars, making the new rates as follows: four-bed rooms $30 and $33; two-bed rooms $34 and $37; and private rooms $41 and $45. Fees in the Laboratory will be increased about 121/2% overall. In X- Ray certain examinations will be higher; overall there will be a rise of about 10%. Operating Room charges will be increased by about $10 per operation, based on a time schedule. Below Other Hospitals Even with this rise, Greensboro residents will still be spending much less for room accommodations than most citizens of the country. The local hospital's rates are substantially below the national average and even below those of almost all community hospitals in North Carolina. At the same time Moses Cone Hospital offers the advanced equipment and personnel needed for treatment of critical cases. The room rate and ancilliary service fee rises are partly brought on (Continued on Page 6) Or. Alan F. GuHmacher United Fund Drive Set For October By S.

Certainly this is a lot of money and the efforts of all people living or working in our area will be needed if the campaign is to succeed. We believe it will be successful because most everyone in the community feels this is the best way to contribute to 35 different agencies with only one pledge.
