Kim Allen, Executive Intern from
East High School, has been learning
about the Hospital life first hand this
semester under the sponsorship of
Sister Mary Walter, Vice President of
Clinical Services. Kim spends four
afternoons a week at SJH, and
attends a seminar each Wednesday
with other student interns at East
High School as part of a full-credit
program. Kim sees a different depart-
ment of the Hospital each day. She
hopes to become a surgeon and has
already had the opportunity to
observe surgery at SJH. "It's
a chance to see the real world,"
she says.
Crafts
Needed On
2 Center
Do you have arts, crafts, or
needlework projects or materials
that you bought but never had time
to use? Those materials are too good
to throw out, but if your time is still
limited, your decor has changed, or
your interests have changed, donate
them to 2 Center.
Two Center is a high-risk
antepartum unit where a majority
of patients are admitted during
early pregnancy to stay until they
deliver. Patients are admitted for
rest, observation, evaluation, and
treatment of a variety of conditions.
The staff is collecting arts, crafts,
and needlework materials to give to
patients during their stay to help
them endure long hospitalizations.
They will gladly accept any materials
you want to donate (including projects
already started).
As you do your spring cleaning this
year, bring any projects you would
like to donate to 2 Center. �
Phase Two
Smoking Policy Denned
Since Saint Joseph Hospital announced its smoking policy March 1, reaction
among hospital employees has been predominantly positive - understandably
so since most employees do not smoke.
The second phase of the policy will take effect June 1. As of that date,
employees may smoke only in designated areas, and those areas do not
include the Towerteria, restrooms, elevators, stairways, solariums, public
lounges, or the lobbies.
After considerable study of how to accommodate everyone concerned,
smokers and non-smokers, the following areas have been designated as
smoking areas until September 1.
Ground Floor: Locker Room across from the Dental Clinic
First Floor: Laboratory Locker Room
Third Floor: 3N Employee Lounge; 3S Employee Lounge
Fifth Floor: 5W Employee Lounge; 5N Employee Lounge
Seventh Floor: Employee Lounge
Tenth Floor: Employee Lounge
Mullen Building: Employee Lounge
After September 1, smoking by hospital employees will be prohibited in all
areas of the hospital. �
