FRONT IER NURSING SERVICE AWARDED
` CONSTRUCTION GRANT FOR THE
_. MARY BRECKINRIDGE HOSPITAL
T The Forty-sixth Annual Meeting of Frontier Nursing Serv-
·.. ice, Incorporated, held at the Executive Inn in Louisville, Ken-
Sy tucky, on Wednesday, May 27, 1970, was an especially gala
I occasion because of the following telegram which was received
just before the meeting began:
Frontier Nursing Service
Wendover, Kentucky May 27, 1970
I am pleased to announce the approval of the Frontier Nurs-
ing Service Program in the amount of 1,246,000 million dollars
by the United States Public Health Service and the Appalachian
[ Regional Commission in Washington, D. C. This amount has been
granted by the Appalachian Regional Commission. This money is
earmarked for construction of a health facility in Hyden, Ken-
tucky.
It is very gratifying to me that this project will not only help
to alleviate a critical health need but also will begin the imple-
mentation of a nurse training program that is the nrst of its kind
in the United States. My personal best wishes and congratula-
tions.
Louie B. Nunn
` Governor
Commonwealth of Kentucky
We were also gratified to receive telephone messages and a
telegram from Senator John Sherman Cooper and Senator Mar-
lowe Cook and our Congressman, Dr. Tim Lee Carter, who have
supported our application for Federal construction funds from
the beginning. It gave us a great deal of pleasure to have Mr.
Paul Osborn at the meeting to represent Mr. Frank Groschelle
and the Kentucky Program Development Office. The help given
the FNS by Mr. Groschelle and Mr. Osborn over the past two
years has been of inestimable value, as has been the support and
endorsement given our application by members of the Kentucky
River Coimcil of the Southeastern Kentucky Regional Health
- Demonstration Corporation.
·· When Mrs. Jefferson Patterson announced receipt of the
J, grant, she said that it gave her more pleasure than anything she
Q had done during her ten years as-National Chairman of the
* Frontier Nursing Service. She went on to say that the Board of
Governors, at its meeting prior to the Annual Meeting, had
4 éraoncvinn NURSING snavicn ?
chosen the Ninth Annual Mary Breckinridge Day, to be held in
Hyden, Kentucky, on October 3, 1970, for the ground-breaking R
ceremony for the Mary Breckinridge Hospital. We hope that ,
many of the friends who have helped make the dream of a new ·
hospital in Leslie County a reality will be able to be with us on
the first Saturday in October.
Mrs. Patterson reported that Mr. W. F. Brashear and Mr.
Eddie J. Moore, both of Hyden, had been elected to the Board ,
of Governors and that Mrs. Richard M. Bean, Lexington, Ken-
tucky, Mr. C. V. Cooper, Hazard, Kentucky, Mr. Melville H. Ire-
land, Lake Forest, Illinois, and Mr. Clay L. Morton of Louisville,
Kentucky, had been elected as Trustees of the FNS. Miss Kate
Ireland gave the report of the Capital Finance and Development
Committees and Dr. W. B. Rogers Beasley spoke on the Family
Nurse Practitioner program. Miss Helen E. Browne, the Director
of the Service, presented the operating budget for the fiscal year
which began on May 1, and reviewed the activities of the FNS
during the past year.
COME BLOW YOUR HORN WITH US
by
JANE LEIGH POWELL
How many times have you heard the FNS toot its own horn?
Not very often as it isn’t the nature of the Service to take such
action (although there are many of us who would like to on cer-
tain occasions! I). The FNS is a modest, non-boasting, quietly-
doing-the-job-at-hand organization where, unlike some larger in-
stitutions, everyone is working together and for the same cause
—comprehensive health care for the people of our area.
Now, to step out of line, a little horn blowing is going to 7
occur. This Spring, we have gone over the 16,000 mark in deliv-
eries and this figure does not include emergency or unregistered Q
patients, of which there are hundreds. Our maternal mortality
has not changed since 1951 and still remains at 11 deaths, two i
of which were cardiac cases. This is one of the lowest maternal
? QUARTERLY Bunnmrm 5
mortality rates in the United States and proves the capability
2 and safety of the nurse-midwife in caring for expectant mothers.
Another toot for the continuing ability of the FNS to attract
" registered nurses. Presently, we have thirty-two registered
ig nurses (plus nine students in the Frontier Graduate School of
,’ Midwifery) and of this number, fifteen are nurse—midwives. Ap-
3 plications for positions are increasing and this proves that there
¤ are still nurses who want experience in caring for patients instead
of caring for paper-work! !!
With the realization that the Frontier Nursing Service has
an obligation to the nursing profession to share forty—five years
of experience in comprehensive health care, we took a bold step
by beginning the development of the Family Nurse Practitioner.
Basically, this involves teaching a nurse in a formal way what
FNS nurses have been doing informally for so many years. Along
with this exciting plan also came the realization that our Hyden
Hospital—twenty—six beds but licensed for only sixteen—was
too outdated and overcrowded to provide the proper health care
for our patients and would never have the space for teaching
the Family Nurse Practitioners.
So, as most of our readers know, we embarked on the first
fund raising campaign for capital funds in the history of the
FNS; first, to build a new facility and second, to develop this
new "super nurse". Nobody likes to ask for money. Mrs. Breck-
inridge’s philosophy was that if you had an honest story to tell,
and people would listen, the money would come without asking
for it outright. Our faithful donors have carried us over many
years and we felt they would want to be a part of this tribute
to Mary Breckinridge and the innovative program in nursing.
We set our goal at $2,800,000 and professional fund raisers
said we would never raise more than $1,750,000 and it would
take over two years to do. It took us less than one year to raise
_ $2,000,000 in pledges and today, we are only $87,000 away from
A our goal in pledges. Most campaigns figure on approximately
ten percent of the pledges not being fulfilled and now comes the
g big blast on the horn—of the 1,832 donors who have contributed
to the fund drive, only seven pledges have not been honored and
i two of these are from donors who died before their pledges were
paid. Approximately ten percent'? Not so for the FNS, where
6 FRONTIER NURSING simvxcu J
unfulfilled pledges amount to only .38% of the whole. There are ?
138 donors still fulfilling their pledges but they are up-to-date
and continue to make payments.
Having faced the challenge of raising $2,800,000, our donors ·
have once more proven that they believe in what the FNS is 7
doing and what it plans to do in the future. There are no words t
to express our gratitude and we feel that by bragging just this ~
once, it is a way of saying how grateful we are. IT
Please keep in touch with us as we hope that there will be i
some grand person who will want to put us over the top by the '
time the Summer Bulletin goes to press. ·
READERS’ MOTORING TALES-136
In Greece sheep-dogs are large fierce animals who guard the j
flocks against thieves and wolves. Herding is no part of their job,
and the sheep would not understand it anyway. Driving along g
a country road between Mistra and Sparita, we overtook a ilock .
of sheep walking on the edge of the open iicld-—all but half a ‘
dozen which were straggling line abreast across the road, bring-
ing us almost to a halt. The dog, who had been ahead with the
shepherd leading the flock, trotted back and proceeded to push
shoulder to shoulder against the outside sheep, which pushed
the second, and so on, the dog putting all his weight into shift-
ing the whole string. Once he had pushed them well off the road '
he turned his head towards us as though to say, ‘Get a move on
while you can'. The shepherd had taken no part in this action,
of which indeed he seemed unaware.—D. W. Hough

l AN EDITORIAL
How does it feel to be the recipient of a government grant of
4 nearly a million and a quarter dollars? Well, the official notifica-
{ tion just came through yesterday and, frankly, we are all feeling
it a bit numb. We are happy, certainly; we feel a certain satis-
It faction and justification. We celebrated by having the first
strawberries of the season for lunch at Wendover today.
E This grant did not come to us on a silver platter. Hard
work——by a lot of people—went into each one of the several
I applications we have submitted in the last few years.
By the mid-1960’s it had become obvious that the Hyden
Hospital and Health Center, a cottage hospital designed in 1928
with twelve inpatient beds, was no longer sufficient to meet the
V needs of Leslie County. Health education, better roads and com-
munications, Medicare and health programs for the medically
indigent had encouraged more people to seek medical care. In
I 1967 our Board of Governors decided to seek funds for a modern
I hospital in Hyden and approved two approaches to raise the
y money needed. We would apply for government aid and we would
ask our loyal friends to contribute to a capital fund drive. We
A set a goal of $2,800,000 for capital development—the major
portion to be allocated to the Mary Breckinridge Hospital, a
lesser amount to provide additional staff that would be needed
for the new hospital, to provide additional faculty for the edu-
cational program, to raise salaries of the existing staff. The
phenomenal success of our own fund drive is reported by Leigh
· Powell in "Come Blow Your Horn With Us" printed elsewhere
in this Bulletin.
It was not so easy to obtain government funds.
In the beginning of the FNS, Mrs. Breckinridge told her
K nurses to go sell their personalities to their neighbors. Well, we
`§ had to sell our personalities—and our program——all over again,
this time far beyond the Kentucky mountains. It has been a
, hard grind. At times we felt success was just around the corner;
, at other times we felt that we would never convince the govern-
» ment planners that the FNS had a role within the scheme of
health care for the citizens of southeastern Kentucky. However,
s FRoNrmi>. NURSING smnvicm {
we persevered because the need for a new hospital in Leslie .
County was great and because we felt we had forty years of n
experience in the field of comprehensive health care to offer oth-
ers who were becoming interested in this concept. i ‘
It will be no surprise to our readers to learn that construe-
tion costs have risen considerably in the three years since we V
began the capital fund drive! Had we been unsuccessful in ob- Q
taining government construction funds, it would have meant {
that most of the 2.8 million goal would have gone into the con-
struction of the facility, leaving us without any additional capital
to meet increased operating expenses. ·
What the government grant means to us, primarily, is that
it insures that a reasonable portion of the capital funds raised T
over the past three years may go, after all, to run the Mary I
Breckinridge Hospital as was originally intended and which was ·
outlined in our booklet "To See Ourselves Surpassed . . ." sent out
to friends at the beginning of the capital fund drive. This gives ,
us a great deal of satisfaction, and we think it will please our .
friends, even though we all realize that the sum we will have
will by no means meet all the expenses of the new hospital! We
will continue to need the help of our donors. That we are confi-
dent of your continued interest and support in no way lessens our
gratitude. This support, together with the encouragement we
have received from you and from a number of health profes-
sionals in and out of government who have believed in us from l
the beginning, has meant everything in the world to us during
the last few difficult years. In a sense a government grant for
construction of a new health facility in Hyden is a compliment to
private philanthropists who have provided health care for the
people in this section of Appalachia for forty-five years. It is j
also an accolade for a nurse who was fifty years before her time A
in her concept of health care—Mary Breckinridge—and for the
nurses who have followed in her footsteps. H
Perhaps Helen Browne summed it up for all of us when she _
said, in response to congratulations on receipt of the grant, "I
guess it is worth all the grey hairs !" =i

- URGENT NEEDS
iq HYDEN HOSPITAL PLANT
. ~ Again, we count on our kind and generous Bulletin readers
_ to help us meet the URGENT NEEDS listed in this column. We
J head the list with one of the most pressing needs—ofiice space in
*f the hospital for Miss Lester, superintendent.
1. BUSINESS OFFICE EXTENDED: materials and
labor .............................................................................., $1,666.60
V As the oiiice staff at Hyden Hospital grew, the
superintendent’s office was taken over by the ac-
, counting department and Miss Lester had to use
her small room in Haggin Quarters for desk work,
. interviews and conferences. One end of the busi-
ness oiiice has now been extended to provide room
U for Miss Lester again to have a desk in the Hos-
U pital—a great convenience for her and a boon to
everyone’s spirits.
2. ANESTHESIA MACHINE: ........................................ 1,516,38
, When our outmoded anesthesia machine broke
V. down, the cost of repairing it was exorbitant and
~ impractical. We had to buy a new one which can
. be moved to the new hospital when it is built.

* STOKER: parts, materials and labor ______________________ 63()_63
Our private water system, with its high mineral
10 FRONTIER NURSING snnvicm Z
content and corrosive quality, took its toll in equip-
ment before we connected with the municipal sys- .
tem last summer. One of the expensive items was
the heating system: new parts had to be put in
the boiler and a new condensate pump installed. ii
8. ANNEX—ELECTRIC HEAT INSTALLED IN .e

The steam pipes to the lecture room in the Annex
are so badly corroded that we cannot heat the .
room in cold weather. We Hnd that it would be ·
more expensive to replace the pipes and rusted g
radiators than to install electric heat. Further- I
more, with mines closing down and the cost of -
coal soaring, electric heat is rapidly becoming
more practical and more economical.

The following is the minimum amount of work 4
that has to be done before another winter to make
the building safe; to make it tight enough to pre-
vent excessive heat loss in winter and to keep in-
sects out in the summer; and to make the rooms
clean and more cheerful for the girls who live on
the Upper Shelf:
Jack up the building, clear out from underneath
debris washed off hillside in heavy rains; and
repair all cement drains around building.
Replace rotten sills and support them on con-
crete blocks, set on concrete footing; and put
sturdy handrails around the porch.

Caulk all cracks in walls, around chimneys and `
hearths, preparatory to painting. i
Paint exterior trim and underneath eaves of
house; and interior of four rooms and bath. V

wall covering behind them; and patch warped .
boards in floor and replace all worn tiles.

on these beds and Mr. Farmer has foregone
all of his profit. This kindness and gener-
