Vol- i-No.6 flprfj Soinr Joseph Hospital, Denver, Colorado Auxiliary Celebrates 25th A very special group of volunteers will truly be "in the pink" during May, as the Saint Joseph Hospital Auxiliary celebrates its 25th year of service at the hospital. The group, which was founded on May 27, 1955 with the purpose of service to the hospital, fund raising and public relations, will celebrate its anniversary with a special mass and dinner on May 14. Currently, our auxiliary numbers about 340, which includes inactive members and bridge members � those who are participants in the auxiliary's bridge marathon. Approximately 140 auxilians actually work in the services in the hospital � this number also includes some male volunteers. The many areas the busy auxilians work in at Saint Joseph include Admissions, the Ambulatory Care Department, the blood bank, flowers and patient services, mail service, newborn hearing resting, the gift shop and mobile gift carts, the recovery waiting desk and tele- phone information � placing calls for the pastoral care department and the medical staff. In the early days of the auxiliary, a contribution of $1,000 was con- sidered a great amount. In the early '70s, the auxiliary was the largesr single contributor to the surgery/ ambulatory care addition, with a donation of $160,000. Since then, the auxiliary has pledged a total of $370,000, of which $235,000 has currently been contributed, to the radiology/cardiovascular addition. The auxiliary also pledges a $ 1,000 scholarship yearly in honor of Sister Mary Asella, which is divided among several employees each year. This scholarship money comes from dues paid by bridge members. PLEASE SEE PAGE 2 Vicki Cardas and her new son, Craig. Saint Joseph's TTY - Helping the Deaf to Communicate Usually, when a patient checks into Saint Joseph to have a baby, the joyous news of birth is conveyed to others by the tele- phone. When Vicki Cardas came here last month to give birth to her first child, she too used the phone, but in an entirely different manner. Vicki and her husband, Craig, are both deaf, but they communicate with a combination of lip reading, sign language and speech. While in Saint Joseph, Vicki also hod the chance to use the Speech and Hearing Department's new Tele Typewriter � also known as a TTY � an instrument that enables the deaf to use the telephone for communica- tion. TTY's are still fairly new in the Denver area, and currently Saint Joseph is the only hospital in the Midtown area that has any � one in the Speech and Hearing Department for patient use and one in Emergency, which is used by deaf people needing emergency care or by those with health-related questions. Basically, the TTY is simple to use. All the caller has to do is dial the desired number, place the tele- phone receiver on the machine and type his or her message, which is then received by another person with a TTY. Vicki and her husband, who do not hove a TTY at home, were overjoyed with being able to use ours. The TTY enabled them to share their good news with family and friends, and also provided the opportunity for those outside the hospital to coll and talk with Vicki. Without the TTY, Vicki would hove had to rely on others, such as nursing staff or family, to place and receive her tele- phone messages. And, as you can see by the picture above, little Craig Cardas, Jr., has already learned to sleep through the beep-beeping of the machine while in use.
