Comments
Dr. Francis Bacon and Dr. C. Moses developed an improved ventilation plan. Soldiers with non-life threatening injuries have been continually been transferred to the Fitch home Norton. The average cost for patients per week is $6.75. The average cost for marine soldiers for a week was $7.00. The hospital purchased a 14x16 tent, to used as an overflow isolation area, when the pavilions were full in the summer months. Connecticut Training School for Nurses hired a new Superintendent, Mrs. Creemer. The board has been concerned of the hospital and risk of fire. To help combat the risk, they have recommended the purchase of hand grenades, fire extinguishers and stand pipes, also the removal of the paint shop from the hospital.
