Again this year our Servicescope was prepared by
Mrs. Paul Ellis in May and October. The hospital personnel do the printing and mailing. We all appreciate
the work Aileen does on the Newsletter to make us all
aware of what is happening in the different services.
We would like to thank the hospital personnel for their
help in printing and mailing.
On November 2nd of this year we started a new service; this one in the Surgery Suite. We were requested
by the nursing staff to assist the surgery personnel in
staffing the desk and to carry out any other duties requested of us. Chiefly, we answer the telephone, do
clerical work and run errands as requested. We have
only seven volunteers, five regular workers and two
substitutes. Each volunteer works one day a week. Surgery felt because of the specialized nature of our
duties, the above arrangement was the best method.
We work from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on week days
only. From all reports to date, the volunteers and hospital personnel connected with this service are all very
enthusiastic about the program, and many members of
the medical staff have expressed their approval of our
efforts. Mrs. Eleanor Firstenberger has organized this
service and is chairman.
I have appreciated the support of all of the executive
officers. Mrs. Norman Harrell and Mrs. Wells Harmon,
Vice Presidents, and every member of the Alliance
have given their complete cooperation. I thank you all.
Now, Mr. Peters, I would like to present a check for
$5,000 which brings the total to $21,000 for the eleven
month period.

PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT
As President of the Board of Trustees of Fresno
Community Hospital, it is a pleasure to present my
1971 report at this, the 26th annual meeting.
This year was a stimulating and exciting year for our
hospital family. The dreams and aspirations of providing the finest of health care facilities for the citizens
of our community have been realized by the completion and dedication of our new $16 million building
and expansion programs.
In line with our established policy, the Fresno Community Hospital has kept abreast of the progressive
changes in medical science and now is on the thresh-
hold of offering total health care.
The Board of Trustees, in cooperation with our administrative and medical staffs, federal, state and local
health agencies, is rapidly approaching the challenging goal of providing the best in hospital care through
the cooperation, understanding, and support of the citizens of Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley.
Our new and comprehensive health care center,
made up of people who care, provides facilities, services and personnel to treat the physical and emotional
needs of our citizens.
