I �Chairman's Remarks Only once before, in the 49 years the Hospital has been open, has it been necessary to seek financial assistance from the Community. This is a very fine tribute to Dr. William Douglas who bequeathed the Hospital to the Community when he died in 1929. Major renovations and additions were made to our "in-patient" facilities in 1966-67. Now our "out-patient" facilities and services require expansion and updating if we are to continue to provide the quality of service to which your Board of Directors is committed. This must be done, regardless of the fact that Government this time around is unable or unwilling to assist financially. Two or three years ago major concern was felt in many Communities that they might lose their Hospital and ours was no exception. In our view, there is no better way to ensure that Hospitals remain a vital part of the Community, than to keep service, equipment and facilities up to date. We seek your support in our expansion program. K.F. Stouffer, Chairman of the Board . 9 1 Emergency and Out Patient Services 1967 - 2,678 Number of Day Surgical Cases Number of X-Rays Number of Laboratory Units of Work Performed 1979 - 13,828 Number of Ambulance Calls Number of Physiotherapy Visits Regular Out Patient Clinics Orthopedic/E.E.N.T./Urology . 396 8,354 746,264 MEDICAL STAFF ACTIVE H.S.

Funds are not available from any government source, and in light of this fact, the community will be called upon to provide an estimated $250,000. Over the years Douglas Memorial Hospital has accumulated funds from a variety of sources including Dr. Douglas Estate, grants from Regional Niagara, preferred accommodation, donations and bequests, and these funds have been invested which in turn has provided substantial investment income. Consequently the hospital is able to fl nance the major portion of the project. Understandably, many who want to assist financially are unsure as to what they should give, and would appreciate s~me.direction in this regard . Since each individual has his own personal obligations only a very · general guideline can be offered . It has been established that if corporations support the hospital as a vital community need and if each individual on a payroll deduction plan could contribute 50¢ to $1 .00 per pay over a three year period the target will indeed be reached.
