![ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS We earnestly ask our many friends to contribute to the extent of their ability, both for the maintenance and improvement of the Hospital dur¬ ing 1950. During this period of reconstruction, our nursing care of the patients has not only been maintained, but also improved. Our Surgical Staff, under the able leadership of Dr. Aldridge, has kept our Hospital an outstanding institute, both for the care of the patient, and as a teaching Hospital. Under Dr. Klicka as Director, the Hospital has functioned very ef¬ ficiently and many improvements have been made in every department of the Hospital. A constant scrutiny by the Board of reports on all sums spent in carrying on the work of the Hospital has meant that, with the complete support of Dr. Klicka, many economies have resulted while better serv¬ ice has been given to our patients. Our thanks go to everyone employed at the Hospital who has shown unfailing interest and devotion to the Hospital. Our able and interested Assistant Board has accomplished a vast amount towards improving the interior of the Hospital by redecorating many rooms. The delightfully decorated Nurses’ Reception Room is an important example. Their Library Committee has brought reading matter and comfort to thousands of our patients. The recently formed Volunteer Committee will, we are sure, bring many new recruits to the ranks of our present Volunteers who have given many hours of essen¬ tial service to our patients, for which we are very grateful. F. Huntington Babcock, President. On behalf of the Hospital, I extend its great appreciation to our very active Board and Assistant Board for the many hours, and for the care¬ ful thought they have given to help solve the problems particularly in connection with the renovation of the hospital and its most efficient oper¬ ation during 1949. F. Huntington Babcock. [6]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31713816_0008.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
