Lorain The emergency room at Community Hospital remains limited to patients whose personal physician is present. Administrator James E. Huson said the ER is well equipped and open for care only when the patient’s doctor is on hand. Full operation may come later as staff and on call rules are studied.
Lorain officials at the 160 bed Commu nity Hospital seek to finish phasing in by December. Two 20 bed units maternity and acute care are vacant, with plans to convert the maternity ward into general medical or surgical space. The ICU will open as scheduled. The $3.5 million facility, funded by a voter approved bond, opened May 3 1964 amid controversy, and staffing has grown from about 50 to 225.
Lorain Community Hospital plans a 1966 opening of two 2-bed units, but will repurpose the maternity ward for general admission patients due to continuing declines in local births. Administrator James E. Huson cites staffing and cost factors, noting St. Joseph Hospital’s maternity unit runs far below capacity.
Simple, concrete tips from the Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual Liability Insurance Co outline how to avoid robberies. They emphasize lighting, stay with others, concealing valuables, locking doors, identifying strangers, and staffing for stores to reduce armed assaults.
The West Lorain hospital at 370 Kolbe Rd. reports 1965 admissions totaling 3,196 as occupancy ranged from 92 percent in January to 65 percent in December. Two inactive units were kept offline due to nurse and physician shortages, with occasional high occupancy limiting full operation.
Lorain dates the slow growth of Community Hospital to a nurse shortage and doctors reluctant to switch. Administrator James E. Huson cites 40 unused beds in a 160 bed facility after 20 months, with two 20 bed units hoped to open by year end 1966. He notes recruiting nurses beyond the immediate area is hard and that doctors from St Joseph dominate local practice.
