If you had the choice would you prefer to re-
duce your chances of being admitted to a
hospital this year?
Darnall Army Hospital is making an extra ef-
fort during National Hospital Week May 9-15
to show you that you do have a choice. There
are steps you can take to help ensure good
health for yourself and your family in 1976.
“Darnall Army Hospital is there when you
need it” said Col. Jam es B. Hefner Com-
mander. “Caring for the sick is our reason for
being. But more teaching our patients how to
stay well once they are released and encourag-
ing people in our community to stay healthy
are also important elements in our total care.
“During National Hospital Week we are
spotlighting several hospital-sponsored pro-
grams designed to help community residents
ensure their continued good health” he said.
But health education programs at Darnall
Army Hospital are not limited to National
Hospital Week. Colonel Mary Quinn Director
of Nursing says “whenever possible patients
are involved in their own care through patient
education. A patient needs to be informed about
his or her illness and given adequate informa-
tion about how to care for himself following
hospitalization in order to increase the chances
of remaining well.”
In keeping with the above philosophy the

department.

you can help the hospital help you by sharing
the responsibility for your health.
One of the driving forces behind the founding
of this country was a desire for the freedom of

to continue to help the handicapped. Goodwill
needs your support and your repairable dona-
tions.
Since it’s spring cleaning time again you will
probably be going through your closets attics
basements and garages with the thought of re-
moving items that you no longer need or want.
When you do rem ember that those items that
are too good to simply throw away could be
used by Goodwill Industries to help train or
employ the handicapped. Goodwill can continue
its vital work only as long as it has your “Goodl
Will.” Remember that all donations are tax de-
ductible.
The word to give should be reaching all chan-
nels by now and Ft. Hood members who are in
the position to give are urged to do so
generously and from the heart.
The AER/ARS is the Army’s way of finan-
cially taking care of its own members.- Ask
anyone who has had a need.
