It has been privileged to have as Consulting and Attending Physicians and Surgeons men who have been largely responsible for the advancement of their profession in the City of New York. The present economic conditions have seriously affected The Roosevelt Hospital in that its income from endowments has been curtailed, and at the same time the demands upon its services have been increased. Poverty and sickness go hand in hand, and The Roosevelt Hospital would be derelict in keeping faith with its Founder and those who have provided its endowments should it in any way fail in its duty and re- sponsibility to the community. During the year 1932 over 44,000 patients were treated in all the departments of the Hospital, with 35,299 free and 20,039 Part Pa id day’s care. It is too much to believe that those who have benefited from the ministrations of The Roosevelt Hospital and those who have its interests at heart will not want to have their share in helping the Hospital meet its responsibilities and carry forward its humanitarian service for the poor of the City of New York.
