Public Enemy Number 1 Disease, striking viciously at the poor and helpless, at children and adults weakened by adversity, makes no distinctions of race, color, sex or age. It takes its toll not only from the poor, but from you and yours in every part of the community. For selfish as well as humane reasons, Disease must be Arrested. Your gifts restore health and strength to little children. They relieve the suffering of both young and old. Without your help, the toll of suffering would be infinitely greater. You make available free clinics for heart disease and cancer, clinics to keep well children well, clinics for women who are to bear children. You provide nursing service in the homes of the needy, hospital service for the sick who cannot pay the full cost of the serv- ices they so sorely need. 1f you were a nurse—if you worked 8 hours per day every day, allowing one hour a visit—it would take you 65 years, 8 months and 7 days to make the 191,776 Home visits made by the Instructive Visiting Nurses in 1935, These things are vital now more than ever before. Years of depression have left their mark upon the health of people. If people are to live securely—marry and rear healthy children—these essen- tial services must not cease. DISEASE MUST BE ARRESTED! $650,000 Needed to Fight DISEASE What Was Done by Chest Agencies to Arrest Disease Last Year? 383[703 FREE days’ care in Hospitals and maternity or convalescent homes were given sick people who were unable to pay. 258 60" FREE VISITS were made to clinics. Every = 4Y%2 minutes of every working day the Central Admitting Bureau for Hospitals issues one clinic pass. Every hour each month arrangements are made for about one maternity case by the Bureau. 191,776 Thousands receive hospital, bed, board and nursing care with Chest dollars at Georgetown Hospital, George Washington University Hospital, Columbia Hospital for Women, Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat, Emergency, Garfield Memorial, Providence, National Homeopathic and Children’s Hospitals. Every 42 minutes of every working day your Chest Central Admitting Bureau for Hospitals issues one free clinic pass (for bodily treatment) to persons unable to pay. Free surgery ot the hands of masters made possible by facilities provided for the helpless with your Community Chest dollars. NURSING VISITS were made to the sick in their own homes. 38 484 TREATMENTS were given for Venereal ’ Disease infections, to prevent its spread and effect its cure. In addition health talks were given to 9,822 per- sons, and 634 private consultations were held by the Social Hygiene Society. Thousands of boys and girls treated each year for children’s illnesses—one of the finest clinics for the treatment of infantile paralysis is at Children’s Hospital. Your Chest dollars go much further because of the thousands of hours of service given free by doctors and surgeons—service worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. . fPull diognostic service (preventive and curative) is rendered daily in the nine Lommunity Chest Hospitals, et e al-*1969,000 - Noverpber 72*-‘ to 24 s o
