project is planned to be done

over the coming ‘summer

when hospital occupancy is
atits lowest.

A tommittee of Board
members, employees,
medical staff and hospital

has been working
for months to redesign the
children’s floor. New
concepts in child treatment
and a changing age group
are among prime reasons to
replace the outmoded floor.

Parents of children at the
hospital have been polled
about desirable features they
would like 'to see. One result
is to provide space for
parents who wish to stay
overnight.

Fund raising will be
directed chiefly to the North

Shore. Although there will

North Shore will be asked to
contribute.
