The $1,330,178 contracts carry a completion date of 365 calendar days which means the construction should be finished by December 1972. King-Hunter, Inc. of Greensboro, general contractors, will be the builders. 700% Fair Share Laundry and Personnel Lead Depts. To Top USC Campaign Goal In Drive Laundry and Personnel led all the departments in the recently completed United Services Campaign which saw hospital employees pledge $16,531 for 103% of the goal of $16,000. The 23 members of the Laundry not only gave to the drive, but all 23 pledged a Fair Share. Their record included pledges from three members who were ill or hospitalized at the time. Tying Laundry's percentage was Personnel whose four members each pledged a Fair Share. The hospital was one of the first groups in the community to meet its goal and by the first USC report meeting. Director H. L. Bettis said of the campaign here, "It's a tremendous record and I'm proud of it." Laundry and Personnel department members were guests of the hospital for lunch as a mark of appreciation for their contribution. Frank Johnson who directed the campaign said he was very pleased by the success and expressed his thanks to all the contributors and to the many team captains who were the contact people. He reported a gain in every aspect of the campaign over last year's drive as the following figures show: 1971-72 1970-71 Number Employees 1015 979 Number/°/0 Contributing 824-81% 783 - 80% Number/% Fair Shares 312-38% 267 - 34% Total Amount Pledged $16,531.00 $13,944.00 Average Contribution $20.06 $17.81 Number "Zero" Pledges 191 196 (Continued on P. 2) Bids had been submitted earlier this year but came in well above the architect's estimates. The Trustees then had the architect revise the plans and asked for new bids from the firms which had been low bidders the first round. As now projected, the contracts include $769,950 for the Laundry building, $212,882 for equipment for it and $347,346 for Food Service. In revising the plans, the automated transportation conveyor system between the Laundry and the main hospital building was eliminated. Instead linen is to be transported by truck or cart between the back platform and the Laundry. The new building will be located beside the present steam plant. The Food Service plans were left intact because all changes were necessary to installing the centralized food serving system. But this work only includes the central kitchen. Any redecoration and expansion of the cafeteria and the creation of a corridor will come later as remodeling of the whole building is carried out. When the centralized serving of patient trays is begun, the present floor kitchens will be closed and the personnel working there now will be used in keeping the conveyor belt system supplied. The food will be served to the patients on insulated trays by nurses. This is a return to an orginal nursing duty. The patient's diet has always been an important part of his care but had been divorced in large measure from Nursing. Now the serving will be back in Nursing and as much importance attached to the food by nursing personnel as they now attach to medications and patient reactions to these. (Continued on P. 4)
