PRESIDENT’S LETTER

To the Friends of The Roosevelt Hospital:

The Roosevelt Hospital is a private charity, founded under the will of James H. Roosevelt, which has been serving the sick poor of New York since 1871. With the funds left by the Founder, and by many generous gifts from the friends of the Hospital, the work has steadily grown and the service to the community has steadily increased during the last fifty-seven years.

The need of additional endowment is now greater than it has been for a number of years. The increased cost of Hospital care, due to an increased amount of professional and technical service to the patients, has put a great strain on the funds of the Hospital and for the last two years it has been necessary to expend some- what more than the income to maintain the service. There are several reasons for the demand for an increase of the service

There has been a great growth in the population in the

territory served by the Hospital. The removal of the Vanderbilt Clinic from our immediate

neighborhood and the tendency to concentrate a considerable

part of the Hospital efforts of the City in one or two medical

centres brings an added demand on the Hospitals which serve

more particularly certain sections of the City.

The Roosevelt Hospital is situated in a position where it

can conveniently serve a very large territory.

The distinguished record of its medical staff and the great

work which the institution has done entitle it to the generous

support of its friends and of the community and we appeal

to those interested in this type of work for generous gifts

to enable us to maintain and enlarge our facilities. We need an enlarged endowment for the maintenance. We need funds to reconstruct much of the older buildings on our property to provide adequate clinic and laboratories facilities. W e need larger accommodations for our School for Nursing. We need to enlarge the accommodations for our private and semi-private patients.

It has never been the policy of the Hospital to employ professional help in soliciting funds but all these present needs must wait on additional funds and we hope that in calling your attention to this situation we may receive your support. The President, the Trustees, or the Superintendent will be glad to confer with anyone desiring to aid the Hospital to perfect and extend its work. Sincerely yours, W. Emlen Roosevelt, President.

A donation of five thousand dollars entitles the donor to nominate patients to a bed in the Wards in perpetuity and a donation ; of ten thousand dollars entitles the donor to nominate patients to a bed in a single room off the Wards in perpetuity.

The present capacity of the Hospital is 377 beds, assigned as

George E. Roosevelt, Secretary. : : —

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

January 1, 1928. To the BOARD OF TRUSTEES Gentlemen:—I have the honor to present herewith the fifty- sixth annual report of the Hospital for the year ending December 31, 1927.

PATIENTS There were treated in all departments of the TREATED Hospital 37,185 persons—3,720 were treated in the Wards and 1,557 in the Private Rooms 11,670 were treated in the Out-Patient Department and 20,238 were treated in the Emergency Department, and of these 2,824 were Compensation or Industrial Accident Patients. The average number of patients in the wards and private patients pavilion was 229 or 83,585 days bed care during the year. The average number of daily visits in the Out-Patient De- partment were 122 and in the Emergency Rooms 58.

FREE DAYS AND There were 3,720 patients in the wards (a DAYS CARE decrease of 1,024 over 1926). The following comparative table shows the number of patients admitted, and the number of those treated free, with days’ care, during the past five years 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 Ward Patients 2,902 3,956 4,311 4,744 3,720 Free Patients 1,756 2,588 2,993 3,302 2,320 Ward Days Care .... 46,966 68,048 70,856 70,888 66,416 Free Days Care ... 31,070 44,634 46,785 49,265 32,430

Consequently, the above table, shows a decrease for the first time in five years of 1,024 patients less in 1927 as contrasted with the previous year. The average length of stay of each ward patient was 14 days as against 15 days of the previous year, and that of each private patient 15 J4 days as against 16J4.

COST The cost per day to the Hospital for each private patient cared for was $9.57 and $5.60 for each ward patient. The daily per capita covering all indoor patients of the Hospital was $7.11 in comparison of $6.07 in 1926. The daily per capita cost for food for this year was 53j4 cents as against 61 cents the previous year. These figures represent the cost of food supplies before preparation. 17 2 18 FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

The cost of provisions was $151,827.50 as compared with $164,328.32 in 1926, a decrease of $12,500.82. The cost of maintaining the Hospital in 1927 was $855,283.54, as compared with $866,543.22 last year, a decrease of $11,259.68. The operating receipts were $630,467.97 as contrasted with $668,684.31 in 1926 a decrease of $38,216.34. With the prospect of a deficit occurring in 1927, much anxious thought was devoted to the problem of avoiding it, but, notwith- standing great care to that end the deficit was larger than expected. The excess of Hospital Expenses over Receipts for the past year were $224,815.57.

LARGER ENDOW- The increasing burden upon the Hospital MENT NEEDED is evident that the expenses of the Hos- pital are steadily rising with succeeding years, which is mainly increased expense of Medical Care, more nursing, necessary replacements, increases in salaries, etc., etc. Your Board has now for at least four successive years been confronted with an extremely large deficit which indicates the consequent need of increased endowment, the income of which to be used for the general needs of the Hospital. It seems to be a duty to disclose our immediate needs and thus reveal a true picture of things which confront us to those having the interest of the Hospital at heart and who, if prompted and able to assist may wish to provide a means of revenue which will be sufficient to maintain the Hospital in its present line of work. The plain fact is that the resources of the Hospital are unequal to the demands made upon it ; and a statement frequently made by your President, and followed by the Management of the Hos- pital, seems worthy of repetition here, “That no patient has ever been turned from the doors of the Hospital because of inability to pay for his or her care.” Therefore, to what better purpose could one, benevolently in- clined, contribute a sustaining amount for the relief of humanity, by day and by night, (for the Doors of the Hospital are never closed) and as a memorial to himself or some friend?

NEW BOILER With the addition of a new 300 Horse Power Boiler, which was erected during the summer and late Autumn, has greatly strengthened our heating system —and given our Plant an increased capacity of about 1,000 Horse Power. While the cost was great, its installation was imperative, and demands called for greater Boiler Capacity and Power beyond that of the two boilers installed four years ago. OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 19

INCINERATOR The old incinerator adjacent to the Engine RENEWED Room, was re-built with brick and cement, with heavy fire door, at a cost of $530.31. This also was a much needed improvement, as the old one out- lived its usefulness was unsafe, and yet, was almost in constant use.

THE PATHOLOGICAL The work of this department has LABORATORY grown more efficient with each succeeding year, and it has been the policy of the Pathological Laboratory to concentrate more on the standard routine tests for the purpose of increasing the accuracy and promptness of the service, this change was made effective without reducing the work of a research character and the method employed has proven very satisfactory. During the year the Staff of the Laboratory was materially strengthened by the addition of a new Serologist, and an Assistant Clinical Pathologist who did most of the Referred Cases, and Private Pavilion, Laboratory work. A new waiting room was appointed for use of patients referred to the Hospital for Laboratory work by out-side physicians, this also was a much needed requirement to this department. The report of tests and examinations made in the Pathological Laboratory will be found in this Report on page 31.

FRIENDS Miss Susan Dwight Bliss made a generous contribution of funds with which to meet expense of supplying the children in the Wards during the hot summer months with ice cream, also kept the “little patients” well supplied with new toys, books and flowers. Mrs. I. N. Landauer, by her generosity, through Dr. Charles N. Dowd, has provided monied contributions to meet special needs of the hospital. Mrs. Harry Harkness Flagler has provided funds towards children’s Christmas and Easter and ice cream and cake for per capita April 12th which has been her custom for a number of years. Miss Caroline A. Warner, Troy, New York, has demonstrated her interest in our little patients by providing funds with which to give them several parties during the year. Mrs. Joseph B. Dickson, before sailing on going abroad, sent her contribution to our Christmas fund. The Haven Relief Fund Society made their contribution of $500.00 to our Home Welfare Department for use among needy patients which come under our care. 20 FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

A detailed account of disbursements was rendered to Mr. C. W. Moore, Secretary. Dr. J. Bentley Squier donated five new electric instrument steri- lizers, one for each floor, on the Private Patient’s Pavilion. Dr. James I. Russell purchased for the hospital a new Scanlon & Morris Operating Table for use in the Syms Operating Room, the list price of which is $800.00. John McMillan Company donated a set of Armstrong dies which proved to be a great help to our Chief Engineer in the Machine Shop Work. A “Friend” who has secured the names of deserving families coming under the scope of our welfare work has distributed among them $300.00 during the Christmas season. From George Borgfeldt and Company, a large case of toys, dolls and novelties for the children’s Christmas. Col. Walter Scott contributed toys towards the children’s Christmas. Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt, several cartons of toys, dolls, etc. At Thanksgiving were distributed twelve dinners to needy families, through the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity, Central Park West, and 65th street. At Christmas, twenty-five dinners were distributed to needy families by Mr. Vincent Astor and twenty-five dinners by Dr. Alexander T. Martin. Mrs. Wm. Hitt donated a radio to one of our blind patients in the Wards, and toys for the children. The Ladies Auxiliary of The Church of the Incarnation have again aided the Hospital, as in past years, with their services in Sewing and making garments. The Church of St. Thomas, 53d street and Fifth Avenue, also were assisting us with their services in making garments during the year. For all this assistance, grateful acknowledgement is hereby made.

X-RAY The appended table shows the volume of work DEPARTMENT and the material used in the X-ray Depart- ment for the year, and gives comparative figures for the preceding four years. The room formerly used as a Plaster room has been converted during the year into a Dental room and specialized apparatus for making Dental films has been added. The course of instruction for student X-ray technicians has been maintained with a full quota throughout the year and the students from this course have been in good demand in outside Laboratories as well as supplying the Hospital needs.

Typical Floor Plan op Private Rooms With Daily Rates 28 FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

PRIVATE ROOM SERVICE

Terms

Payment for account of private patients required for two weeks in advance. If a patient leave before the expiration of the period paid for,

a pro rata charge will be made for the time of stay ; the day of admission and day of departure will each be charged as a full day, and the balance will be refunded. The charge for the room includes board, divided attention of nurse and ordinary medicines and dressings. A charge of $20.00 will be made for use of the operating room and $5.00 for routine laboratory work for all patients. Charges will also be made for X-Ray Exposures, Path- ological Examinations, Druggist’s Sundries, Serums, Proprietary Preparations, Toilet Articles, Bottled and Fruit Beverages, Bottled Waters, Water Bottles and Special Appliances. Patients making direct application to the Hospital for rooms are received only as the patients of one of the Physicians or Sur-

geons privileged to use the private rooms ; it is expected that they will pay to the member of the Visiting Staff, to whom they are assigned, a fee to be agreed upon with the Superintendent or with the Physician upon the occasion of his first visit. Relatives or friends are not permitted to occupy the room with a patient, except in the case of parent and child, when $5.00 daily will be added to the price of the room, which charge will include meals for the parent. If requested, the Hospital will engage for patients, for their exclusive use, a special (graduate) nurse, the rate for which will be $8.50 for each twelve hours and her services will be continued until the Superintendent is notified that they are no longer required. Valuables should be left with the Superintendent. Receipt will be given for them. The Hospital disclaims responsibility for valuables retained by patients. Under a rule of the Trustees, “No member of the House Staff, nurse or other employee, shall receive any compensation, gift or bequest from any patient, unless authorized to do so by the Visit- ing Committee.” Any infraction of this rule makes the employee liable to immediate dismissal. All business details should be arranged with and checks should be drawn payable to the order of Geo. W. M. Stock, Superintendent. , :

OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 29

CHARLES HOWARD PECK, M.D.

The Trustees of The Roosevelt Hospital have learned with deep regret of the death on Monday, March 28, 1927, of Dr. Charles Howard Peck, late Attending Surgeon of the Hospital, they desire to place upon their minutes the following resolution

“Resolved That the Trustees of the Roose- velt Hospital record with deep sorrow the death of Dr. Charles Howard Peck, associated with the Roosevelt Hospital for twenty-four years as First Assistant Surgeon, Junior Sur- geon and attending Surgeon. During this

period he endeared himself to all in the Hos- pital, both to patients and Trustees, to Medi- cal Staff and Attendants. His lovable character, high professional attainments and noble ideals and ambitions have been an in- spiration to everyone in the Hospital and the Trustees desire to record their testimony of respect.

“Resolved, That this resolution be spread upon the minutes and a copy sent to Mrs. Peck. 30 FIFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT

ROBERT F. WEIR, M.D.

“Resolved, That the Trustees of The Roosevelt Hos- pital desire to place on record their deep sense of regret at the death of Dr. Robert F. Weir on April 6th, 1927. Dr. Weir was Attending Surgeon of the Hospital from 1871 to 1881 and again from 1900 to 1906, and Consulting Surgeon from 1888 to 1900 and from 1906 to the time of his death. Eminent in his profession and deeply interested in the Roosevelt Hos-

pital, he by his talents was prominent among the list of those of the medical profession who have done so much to aid the Hospital in its work for humanity, and the Trustees of the Hospital wish to place on record their appreciation of his eminent service.

WALTER B. JAMES, M.D.

Resolved, That the Trustees of The Roosevelt Hos- pital wish to place on record their sense of loss to the Hospital and to the Medical Profession in the death of Dr. Walter B. James on April 6th, 1927. Dr. James was a member of the Interne Staff of the Hospital from 1882 to 1884, Attending Physician from 1901 to 1909 and Consulting Physician from 1919 to 1927. Skillful in his profession and of great personal charm, and

greatly interested in the Hospital, his death is a loss

to the profession and will be deeply felt by all of those who have had the privilege of knowing and working with him. OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 31

BUREAU OF HOME WELFARE

There have been interviewed in this Department 15,321 patients, of which 1,697 were cases for home care; 2,480 visits have been made to the homes of patients, 320 patients were referred to other agencies, 293 were given convalescent care, and 322 ward cases were followed up to report end results. We were again fortunate this year in being able to give a Circus Party to 50 children, conveying them in buses to Madison Square Garden and supplying them with ice cream and peanuts. This was made possible by the same “Friend” who has given us this party for some years past. Another “Friend” distributed $300 in gold to poor families that have been under our care. At Thanksgiving we were able to distribute 12 dinners to needy families, given through The Luthern Church of the Holy Trinity, Central Park West and 65th Street. At Christmas we were able to distribute 50 dinners to needy families—25 being given by Mr. Vincent Astor and 25 by a “Friend” through Dr. Alexander T. Martin.

Rev. R. J. Harrison, Methodist Episcopal Church, West 48th Street, contributed $20 for board of one of our Ward patients at a country home. Toys were contributed by Dr. Lewis S. Booth. A Radio was contributed for a child in the Ward by Mrs. Wm. Hitt—we also received some toys for the kiddies from Mrs. F. E. Wolff. Clothing for use of some of our needy proteges were given us during the year by the following friends.

Rev. R. J. Harrison. Dr. James I. Russell Miss A. E. Atkins. Miss Anna Howland. Mrs. C. Falise. Mrs. F. W. Drury. Miss Eleanor Tibbits. Miss Marguerite Cox. Mrs. Scott. Miss Marguerite Fletcher. OF THE ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL 35
