" A Greater Gift of Health- The University of Utah Medical Center 1981 Grand Opening:" was a aeries of events celebrating the completion of the new University of Utah Hospital dedicated September 11, 1981. The $ 43 million hospital is the showpiece of the $ 63 million Medical Center Expansion prnjprt-. for which ground was broken in 1977. Ccont.) Objectives* ( Briefly describe goals of program and plans to achieve them.) We wanted to 1) recognize manor donors for their financial support. 2) apprise the Intermountain West's 3.5 million residents that University Medical Center is now even bigger and better than ever to serve their health care needs and 3) thank faculty and staff for their patience through four years of sloshing through mini and r l n s t and ( cont.) Methods* ( Brief description of techniques and tools used to achieve objectives.) The donor dinner for individuals who contributed $ 5,000 or more to the expansion project was held on one of the glassed- in bridges connecting the new hospital with the old facility, with a view from the third floor overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. Donors were presented with a special " prestige brochure" containing their names ( cont.) " Attach additional sheets if necessary. Results* ( In 500 words or less, describe objectives achieved and how they were measured.) Many of the donors said they'd never had a nicer evening at a University function. The dessert buffet and unveiling of the d o n or memorial sculpture were especially well received. We apparently underestimated the investment our employees had in " their" new building. We expected about 1,000 people on Employee Night but served more than 3.000 (" Nutrition Care personnel did a miraculous job of stretching 1,500 hot dogs into 2.5001) ( cont.)

Gardner. After dinner a brief program in the sterile core of the operating suite ( the fact that the building was not yet occupied allowed us to use many innovative sites) featured an 18- minute slide presentation on the history and progress of the Medical Center, again, thanking donors) and presentations from some of the Utah faculty on the latest advances in medicine. Dessert was served in the lobby, giving donors an opportunity to locate their names etched into the steel walls supporting a sculpture commissioned for the new building to recognize major University Hospital donors. The outdoor dedication ceremony featured a circus- tented VIP platform with lots of balloons, light refreshments and continuous 45- minute tours and slide shows following the event. Ten thousand copies of an abridged version of the prestige brochure were printed for distribution to the general public and to patients and their families ( we deliberately overprinted this brochure and continue to distribute it to tour groups). On family night we served hot dogs, chips and soda pop through-out the evening. We had entertainment for the kids ( magic shows, puppets and mimes) and for their parents ( a western band). We also gave away University Hospital balloons and key chains and, once again, showed the slide presentation and gave tours continuously. Employees were oriented to the new facility during their regular shifts in the two weeks between the dedication and the patient move day. Abstract ( cont.) The hospital, which nearly doubles the size of the old complex, is one of five separate facilities in the expansion project. Others include the Dr. Ezekiel R. & Edna Wattis Dumke Building for artificial organs research, the seven- story Maxwell M. Wintrobe Research and Education Building, a Central Plant Building which houses all emergency power and heat sources for the entire medical center complex and a 700- space parking terrace. Objectives ( cont.) surviving organizational chaos. A lavish dinner allowed us to thank the 150 major donors, volunteer fund- raisers and legislators without whom the expansion project would have been impossible. ( To supplement a $ 34.9 million bond issue, a two- year fund drive netted $ 13 million in private contributions for the project-- the largest drive ever undertaken for private support in the State of Utah.) The dedication ceremony, held outside under sunny skies on a Friday morning, was well attended by all local media, who had been primed about the project some months earlier at a " Media Sneak Preview The ceremony, the public tours that followed all weekend and Sunday's dedication of the Hope Chapel helped spread the word about our state- of- the- art hospital, letting the public know that we're superbly equipped to meet the health personnel and specialized care needs of the Intermountain West for the next two decades. Employee Night was held the same day as the dedication, from 4: 30- 8 p. m. Live entertainment and free picnic food under tents set up in the parking lot in front of the building were enjoyed by about 3,000 Medical Center employees and their families. Results ( cont.) The relatively inexpensive mementoes we had ordered for the occasion were heavily sought after and Mom and Dad were so enthusiastic about showing off the building to their families that they conducted their own personalized tours of the new Hospital. Media were very cooperative in publicizing our. public tours, and thousands of citizens passed through our doors on Saturday and Sunday. Coverage of the grand opening events was extensive, and we knew media sentiment was really on our side when one of the local dailies ran an editorial in praise of the expansion.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN YOUR UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER University of Utah Medical Center Development and Community Relations GET ACQUAINTED WITH MOO AND MOG at a Media Sneak Preview of the new University Hospital, the country's newest patient care facility Monday, April 27, 12- 1: 30 p. m. MOO and MOG may sound like dairy cows or a comedy team, but they're actually acronyms for important functions related to the upcoming BIG MOVE into the new hospital. MOO stands for Move Operations Officer, the person who will coordinate the overall move to the new building late this summer. His real name is Don Moyer, assistant hospital administrator, who'll act as your tour guide and tell you how MOG ( our Move Operations Group) is preparing for a smooth, orderly move to the new facility. There is such a thing as a free lunch ( more or less) and you'll get yours from 12- 12: 45 p. m., followed by a cook's tour of the new hospital. Join us at noon Monday, April 27 in the Development and Community Relations Office, just inside the north entrance to the new hospital, second door on the right. We look forward to showing you the Intermountain West's new health care showpiece. John, Anne, Mark and Kate R. S. V. P.: 581- 7387 P. S.: We validate! 50 NORTH MEDICAL DRIVE SALT LAKE CITY UTAH 84132 • ( 801) 581- 7387 Inpatient Admitting's Elaine Anderson Named May Employee of the Month The Inpatient Admitting staff and all who know Elaine Anderson, the Medical Center Employee of the Month for May, rave about her ability to work with people and say that each patient's contact with her is an experience in genuine caring and support. They'd be astounded to find out that when she first came to the Medical Center, she told her supervisor she preferred working alone in the back room with the machines! But Elaine confesses, " When I began working with the doctors and nurses and relating to patients, I soon discovered how much I loved the relationship. That's when my work really became exciting." Elaine's job is exciting in other ways too - when beds aren't immediately available, for example, or when the waiting room is packed with incoming patients. " It's an ominous challenge at times," she admits, " but I love to solve the problems and participate in the quick decisions we often must make." Elaine's co- workers agree that she has no trouble tackling these responsibilities. But what impresses both staff and patients most is her kind and warm manner with everyone. " Elaine is a real lady in all situations," says receptionist Ruth McCabe. " We have to deal with patients on both a profes-sional and personal level," says Elaine, " putting them at ease and showing them that we care, while at the same time gathering accurate information." Speaking highly of Elaine, Larry K. Williams, manager of Inpatient Admitting/ Billing says, " Through Elaine's effort and guidance, the reputation of the Admitting Office has improved tremendously with the medical and nursing staffs as well as with other hospital departments we work with. She always goes out of her way to do the little extras for patients and her own staff." Before taking a six- year leave of absence in 1972 to care for her family, Elaine worked for two years stamping charge cards, making bed assignments and billing Medicare. In 1978 she returned, working from 6 p. m. to 2 a. m. on the patient census, then as night supervisor and later as day supervisor, remarkably juggling both her career and role of mother. She now has nine children ranging in age from 1 to 18. A native of Salt Lake City, Elaine likes to run and she walks to work each day from her home on the avenues. Naturally accommodating, Elaine has rarely turned down a patient request. However, there was one she had to refuse. " Before being admitted to the hospital, this ' gentleman' had been told he had cancer and was given permission to drink up while he could," Elaine remembers. " He came in rather drunk and decided he wanted to marry me! It was a difficult interview." Elaine Anderson University Hospital salutes its 1,600 employees on the occasion of National Hospital Week, May 10 - 16. QL/( L Jerry L. Smith Administrator News reporters and photographers recently attended a special " sneak • preview" tour of the new hospital. Led by Assistant Administrator H. Don Moyer, the tour of the new hospital gave local media a look at the ultramodern emergency room, operating suites, chapel and the building's unique seismic features. Farewell Bess To say " goodbye" and " thanks" to Bess Jacob after 14 years of dedicated service, Eccles Health Sciences Library co- workers dropped golf balls on her desk along with a commemorative cut- out bridge hand from the newspaper. Executive secretary of the library, Bess started in 1967. " Her absolute loyalty to the library is what we have appreciated the most," says Director Priscilla Mayden. " Besides being a very competent manager of the business end of the library, she's been a real friend to the lower campus students who have worked here." Bess's loyalty even extended to caring for the numerous plants in the building, including the 19 floor plants. She has faithfully nurtured them for over a decade. Scholarship Newborn intensive care nurse Kathy Schmitz has been awarded a $ 500 scholarship from the Parent- to- Parent organization. Kathy, who has been a staff, charge and transport nurse in the unit, is a senior nursing student in the bacca-laureate program in the Colleg of Nursing. She plans to enter the neonatal nurse practitioner program and later pursue a master's degree in perinatology. Softball The Med Center softball league is a " big hit" already. Twelve teams are CENIEQ vying for the championship during play on the VA Medical Center diamond. First week scores: Pharmacy I 26, Central Processing 0; Nutrition Care Service won by forfeit over Outpatient labs; Pediatric Housestaff 12, O. R. 6; Surgery 24, Engineering 7; Medical Records 16, Radiology " Rowdies" 15 ( in 8 innings); and Pharmacy " Champion Losers" 10, Radiology " Runnin' Rays" 9. Med Center mixer The next Med Center mixer will feature a new location, drastically reduced prices and no cover charge! The party is tentatively slated for the Ft. Douglas Officer's Club Thursday, June 4. Thanks to Dr. Jim McNamara, social work director ( Col. McNamara to his Ft. Dougla cronies) for use of the club and to the Social Activities Committee for agreeing to absorb the cost of a disc jockey and " munchies." The 1981 Utah Open will be a benefit tournament for University Hospital. The golf tourney, scheduled August 11- 15 at Willow Creek Country Club, will provide additional needed funding for programs ranging from the Intermountain Burn Unit to the Intermountain Spinal Cord Injury Center. Sponsorship of Utah's premier golf event by the hospital's Volunteer Auxiliary and other groups will replace the auxiliary's smaller golf tourney of past years. Paul McGinn of the Utah Open committee and Milt Rosen, auxiliary golf chairman, discuss plans for the open. UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MEDICAL CENTER Security programs: growing with the Med Center Security and service provided by University Police - Medical Center Division are being improved with the addition of a commander, investigator, new service officers and a training program. Lt. Paul Hardy, a 13- year veteran of the U Department of Public Safety, now heads the 13- mem-ber division. He is assisted by Detective Mike McKnight, another new member of the Med Center force, and supervisors Velda Rothwell and Judy DeMet. " Public Safety Director Wayne Shepherd wants to ensure that the Med Center continues to have first- rate cov-erage as the amount of staff, visitor and patient traffic increas-es," says Lt. Hardy. " With everyone's co-operation, we'll main-tain a safe and pleasant working environment." Lt. Hardy is placing special emphasis on theft investigation and prevention. Dect. McKnight is the supervisor for this area, assisting the 11 service officers, two of whom are new. Following additional training and certification by the state, service officers will be empowered to conduct investigations and make arrests. As in the past, armed University Police will provide backup as necessary. Lt. Hardy also hopes to establish a computer-controlled card access system in " critical" areas of the hospital such as the pharmacy, storerooms and OR. " These changes will make our service more effective but employees will have to help," he says. " Please report any suspicious activity immediately to . ext. 2294 or reach an officer through a hospital operator." March 9, 1981 Lt. Paul Hardy vT Vfs. Congratulations to Hospital Linen Service for 100 per-cent employee parti-cipation in the United Way appeal for seven straight years. Director Bud Zirker received a Certificate of Appreciation plus a personal commen-dation from Elizabeth Haglund, special assistant to the vice president for univer-sity relations. ineak a peak at your new home Employee tours of the new University Hospital begin today. Members of the Training and Orientation Subcommittee of the Move Operations Group ( MOG) will conduct brief excursions into the patient care facility at 7: 30 a. m., noon and 4 p. m. weekdays. " The 20- minute tours on Level 3 will provide an introduction to the new building, rather than a complete overview of the entire project," explains Don Moyer, assistant administrator and MOG chairman. " We hope that interested employees will be able to see the facility so the entire staff shares our enthusiasm for the coming move." Employees taking tours during normal working hours ( they will be away from their job for about 30 minutes) need prior service director or supervisor approval. Advance reservations are necessary ( call ext. 4401) and each tour will be limited to 20 persons. Employees will be given a handout listing the major services on each level of the new hospital and showing a diagram of the third floor. Visitor parking - - it's just that... Suppose that a loved one was critically injured in an accident and had to he rushed to University of Utah Medical Center via AirMed transport. After a long and anxious automobile trip, you finally locate the Med Center only to discover there is no parking available. How would you feel? Similar situations are faced by too many visitors to our hospital almost every day. Spot checks have shown that as many as 150 visitor parking slots - half of what's available - are taken up by Med Center staff on any given day. " We know that the parking situation is not good, but we must keep spaces open for visitors and patients," says Parking Services Capt. Bob Parks. " Officers have begun ticketing employees who park in that lot." Capt. Parks says the parking situation should improve markedly when the 700- space parking terrace opens in May. Officials expect all of the slots to be purchased and the number of students and construction workers competing for available parking will decline. CENIfP < SUMMADf Hallside Gallery Multi- talented Holly Meeker Rom is the guest artist in the Hallside Gallery ( Medical Illustrations, AC- 113) during March. A teacher and an artist who works in several media, Holly is exhibiting works of batik ( an Indonesian method of hand-painting textiles by coating with wax the parts not to be dyed) and watercolors. With a master's in art education from the University of California- Davis, Holly has taught at several art and design schools, including the Salt Lake School of Interior Design. She has exhibited at the Salt Lake Art Center, Park City Arts Festival and other area art shows, and her work is on sale in Aspen and Park City shops. Holly now does most of her work in Park City where she lives with her two- year- old daughter, Nicole, and husband, Dr. William N. Rom, head of the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health. Holly Meeker Rom Did you know? The reference desk of the Eccles Health Sciences Library is the place to check out copies of the multivolume MX Environmental Impact Analysis. The reference desk also has been a source for daily " Legislative Status Sheets" on bills being considered by the Utah Legislature. Going... going... moved! Two more moves in the game of " musical chairs" necessitated by Med Center expanion and renovation activities have been made. Mail & Duplicating now can be found just across from the rehab elevator on the " A" level. ( Mail boxes for house staff previously were moved to the House Staff Office, 1C lobby.) Space vacated by Mail & Dupli-cating was taken by dieticians, who previously worked out of an office adjacent to the kitchen. That area will house the new dishwashing room for the expanded kitchen and cafeteria. Foundation and steel superstructure work on the cafeteria is now complete. Several weeks ago, the offices of Development and Community Rela-tions, Planning and Resource Devel-opment, Computer Systems Coordina-tion and the Division of Community Medicine moved to the new hospital. Sack lunch seminar Bring your favorite fairy tale and prepare to discuss some of the sexism and false expectations of life the fairy tales may teach at the next Health Sciences Center sack lunch seminar, Tuesday, March 10, at noon.

Do you know where your department will be located and how to get there? Are you familiar with the services in the new facility? All University Hospital employees will be scheduled for a 90- minute tour of the new building. Conducted from August 17 through September 3, these tours are intended to give hospital staff a general overview of the hospital's design, layout and services. Hospital floor plans and other information will be disseminated. Employees will be notified by department supervisors about the date and time of their tour. In most cases, employees are scheduled to tour the new hospital during their regular work shifts. According to H. Don Moyer, University Hospital assistant administrator and move operations officer, these orientation tours are not training sessions. Individual departments are responsible for the specific training in new systems for their own employees. The orientation tours are optional for School of Medicine employees. " When am I moving?" All University Hospital departments except Clinical Labs, Pharmacy and Radiology will move sometime during the two weeks following Labor Day ( September 7). A list containing the exact move dates and locations for each department will be issued soon. " The new hospital has reached ' beneficial occupancy,' " says H. Don Moyer, assistant hospital administrator and move operations officer. " This means that all the levels except B level, are substantially completed by the con-tractors and are now under the control of the hospital." There is still work to be done, however. During the week of September 14, after the dedication and open house, the new hospital will receive a " fine tuning," according to Moyer. This is when tasks such as the final cleaning and preparing the phone system will be completed so that the patients can move in on September 22. Red carpet out for hospital employees and families University Hospital employees and their families will be the first to walk through the new hospital after it is dedicated. A special Employee/ Family Open House, scheduled for the afternoon and evening of September 11, will be an opportunity for your family members to learn about your profession and the facilities you work with. Some exciting things are being planned for this event. Details will follow in Move Update. Don't miss it!

The planning and building of this facility is a tremendous undertaking. For the past four years, everyone at University Hos-pital has been doing " double duty," their own daily work and helping to get the new hos-pital planned, built and ready for patients. And, of course, there have been a " few" inconveniences: the dirt, the dust, the mud, the parking, the. well, you know what I mean! On behalf of hospital administration, I want to thank each and every one of you for your patience and understanding. It has been a difficult time. But, now, as we move, I hope ^ you feel it was worth it. Our new University Hospital is designed around the idea of " function over form." What actually " happens" to our patients determined the form of the building. As you walk through the clean, attractive building with its wide halls, plentiful elevators and spacious public areas, I hope you develop a sense of belonging and pride. The bricks and mortar of a hospital, however, must al-ways be secondary to the quality of care that is delivered within its walls. Again, thanks and congratulations to each of you, our University Hospital employee team. Without you and the good work you do each day, none of this would be possible. Jerry L. Smith Administrator 2 J Hospital Overview Work of patient care personnel is en-hanced by design features of the new Univer-sity of Utah Hospital. Patient flow, separation of patient and public functions, space and aesthetics all contribute to the operation of the hospital. The size of the new University Hospital ( 450,000 square feet), the cost ($ 46 million), and other " bricks and mortar" statistics don't begin to tell the story. But as you first prepare and then begin to work in this outstanding facility, you'll better understand how the de-sign of the building complements the hos-pital's mission. The structure meets all government and hospital accreditation standards. Seismic features ensure that we will continue to oper-ate under almost any conceivable condition. Bridges on five levels link the new hospital with Building 521 to provide close coordina-tion with the education and research func-tions of the School of Medicine. The needs of all those who use the hos-pital - patients, visitors and staff - have been considered in planning the structure. The spacious and colorful corridors, larger patient rooms with a view and staff areas are attractive. Private toilet and shower facilities, increased privacy and comfort, and the day rooms and sun decks ease the psychological burden of hospitalization. The risk of cross contamination is re-duced because of the design of mechanical and material handling systems and use of additional isolation rooms. Improved separa-tion of patient and public functions also aids infection control. Patient flow is improved with same- level entrance to the Emergency Room, an " ER only" elevator for quick access to the oper-ating room and various intensive care units, and diagnostic radiology services adjacent to the ER. Both direct and indirect patient support services have better locations in the new hos-pital. Separate public and staff elevators, large and comfortable visitor waiting areas and an easy- to- follow sign system make traf-fic flow in the facility easier for everyone. You'll soon experience firsthand the ad-vantages of this new hospital. I hope it more than meets your expectations. H.

Clinical labs A new information center to disseminate all lab data, test results, etc., can be reached through the main lab number, ext. 2361. Most of the clinical labs are on the A level and include hematology, chemistry, immunology, coagulation, toxicology, micro-biology, specimen receiving, regional ser-vices, data processing and administrative offices. The blood bank is immediately west of the surgery complex on the third floor and another clinical lab ( specimen collection) is on the first floor off the main hallway. Nuclear medicine, special chemistry, tis-sue typing and hematopathology remain in Building 521. One of two new programs is virology ( in 521); a pharmakokinetics lab ad-joins toxicology on the A level. Emergency power Backup electric generators provide emer-gency power. Red electric outlets are for patient support systems only. Never use emergency outlets for items such as coffee pots, typewriters and radios. Environmental controls The Honeywell system provides micro-processor technology for maximum efficiency and optimum temperature control. Only au-thorized personnel should attempt to alter thermostats or other controls. Honeywell 60 70 80 9 0 > Jj w Fire I disaster plan Each department has specific respon-sibilities in case of a fire or disaster. Know how to evacuate the building by identifying the closest non- elevator exit. Heed fire doors, signs and instructions of authorized person-nel. An updated mass casualty plan can be found throughout the hospital. Fire extinguishers Highly visible " blister" mounts throughout the building indicate the extinguishers. Report a fire or smoke to the operator ( ext. 2121) immediately. Food service The Volunteer Auxiliary is operating a sandwich shoppe in the new lobby; it is open 7 a. m. to 8 p. m. Monday through Friday and 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Saturday. This is the only staff and public food service in the new hos-pital. The combined snack bar- cafeteria opera-tion on the " A" level in Building 521 is sche-duled to open late this year. It will operate from 6: 30 a. m. to 2 a. m. Cafeteria lobby vend-ing machines operate around- the- clock. Final preparation of patient meals is done on each nursing unit. Nutrition Care techni-cians assemble trays and heat food with microwaves in galleys near the nursing sta-tions. Initial preparation of patient food takes place in the main kitchen. Gift shop The expanded Volunteer Auxiliary Gift Shop in the lobby carries a greater assort-ment of gifts, candy, magazines and other items. It's open 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. Monday through Friday, 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. Saturday and 11 a. m. to 4 p. m. Sunday. II KM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 M 0 C Intercom The new patient care facility utilizes the Pamex Stentofon intercom ( see photograph). Both desk and wall units feature " touch- tone" dialing and other Centrex features such as call forwarding, conference calls and a pri-vacy mode. 5 I Nurse call The Sylvania system in the new hospital is similar to the one currently in use. Patients alert the nursing station and can initiate a two-way conversation, as well as control the radio and color television. Nursing units All nursing units, with the exception of pediatrics, psychiatry and physical medicine and rehabilitation, are in the new hospital. General- care units are designed in an L-shape around nursing stations. Lounge, locker and conference space has been ex-panded in the new building. Each unit is further described elsewhere in this handbook on the page with the floor plans of each level. Paging The overhead paging system operates the same way. Call the operator at ext. 2121 to ^ initiate a page. Parking " A" and " U" permit parking for employ-ees is to the east, west and south of the hos-pital. The upper levels ( 10 and 11) of the park-ing terrace are secure p. m. parking. Gates are open between noon and 6 a. m. The top two covered levels of reserved parking and the bottom seven levels require card key entry. Contact Parking Services ( ext. 6415) to report problems or purchase permits. Free patient/ visitor parking is the lot be-tween Medical Drive and the Emergency Room access road. Entrance to this area is from the traffic circle in front of the hos-pital, with the exit at the north end of the lot. Patient rooms Enlarged private or semi- private patient rooms offer a panorama of the Salt Lake Valley, improved lighting, comfortable furni-ture and a color television. A patient/ family day room is located on the south end of each general unit. There are sun decks next ^ to the burn unit and medical ICU/ CCU on the fourth floor. 6 Special isolation rooms in each major unit allow both negative and positive air flow to better meet the needs of patients who require isolation. Patient I visitor information Patient and general hospital information is still provided by volunteers ( ext. 2226). The new information booth is staffed from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m., while another volunteer works the information desk in Building 521 from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m. Reception desks on floors 2, 5 and 6 are staffed from 11 a. m. to 8 p. m., on floors 3 and 4 from 8: 30 a. m. to 8 p. m. Pharmacy Inpatient operations including the drug information center, storeroom, central I. V. ad-mixture service and administration are in the northwest section of the A level. Satellite operations ( mini- pharmacies) are on the second, third and fourth floors near the staff/ patient elevators and are equipped to provide STAT I. V.' s. Pharmacists are assigned to all patient floors. The outpatient pharmacy on the first floor of the new hospital next to the cashier's office serves all clinics, the ER and employees. Pharmacy telephone and beeper num-bers are listed on directory cards at each nursing station, the clinics and ER. 7 Radiology Diagnostic radiology is located on the first floor just south of the Emergency Room. The area includes improved inpatient and out-patient facilities, enlarged waiting areas and 12 diagnostic rooms. Some $ 2.5 million in new equipment is being used. Special procedures, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and CT scanning remain in Building 521, as do some film file and viewing areas. The radiation oncology pavilion is on the B level. Office and conference areas are on the mezzanine just above patient areas. Security Offices for the University Police/ Medical Center Division are located in the hallway between the lobby and Emergency Room. Service officers are reached by calling ext. 2294 or the operator ( ext. 2121). The security staff has been enlarged and the officers given additional police powers. There also is additional closed- circuit tele-vision surveillance throughout the hospital for improved security. Supply, Processing and Distribution The new S. P. D. department includes stores and receiving, exchange cart distri-bution, central service and messengers. All functions are housed on the A level. The storeroom now stocks all hospital supplies and dispatches the exchange cart system on a 24- hour basis. The number of carts has nearly doubled to 72. Central service has assumed respon-sibility for operating room supplies and in-struments, initiating a case cart system cus-tomized for individual surgeons. Telephones The entire Medical Center complex will continue with the Centrex system. Phone fea-tures and operations remain the same. De-partments, nursing units and offices moving into the new hospital have the same tele-phone numbers. The switchboard has an ad-ditional work station to handle the increased load. 8 Location Index Building 525 Administration Level 1 Ambulatory Surgery Level 3 Anesthesiology Level 3 Blood Bank Level 3 Burn/ Trauma Unit Level 4 Cardiology Level 4 Cashier Level 1 Central Service Level A Central Supply Level A Cerebrovascular ICU Level 3 Chapel Level 2 Clinical Labs Levels A & 1 Coronary Care Unit/ Medical ICU Level 4 Day Rooms Levels 2- 6 Delivery Suites Level 2 Diagnostic Radiology Level 1 Dialysis Dumke Bldg. & Level 4 Emergency Room Level 1 Gift Shop Level 1 Information Level 1 Inpatient Admitting/ Billing Level 1 IV Therapy Service Level 4 Laser Surgery Suite Level 4 Lobby Level 1 Medical Patient Units Levels 4 & 5 Newborn ICU Level 2 Nursery ( Well- baby) Level 2 Nursing Services Level 1 Obstetrical Nursing Unit Level 2 Operating Suite Level 3 Outpatient Clinics Level 1 Outpatient Pharmacy Level 1 Perinatal Center Level 2 Pharmacy ( central) Level A Purchasing Level A Radiation Therapy Level B Recovery Room Level 3 Respiratory Therapy Level 2 Sandwich Shoppe Level 1 Satellite Pharmacy Levels 2- 4 Security Level 1 Surgical ICU Level 3 Surgical Patient Units Levels 3 & 6 Telecommunications Level 1 Waiting Rooms Levels 2- 6 X- Ray Level 1 Location Index Building 521 (( eexxiissttiinngg fM edical Center) Editor's Note: The following services remain in the same location until vacated hospital space is renovated, un-less otherwise noted.

Public and patient/ staff elevators are on opposite sides of a central core which in-cludes a stairway and restroom facilities on each floor. There is restricted access to the Emergency Room elevator. Patient care units in the new building are labeled " North" or " South," while units in Building 521 remain " East" or " West." A lobby directory and improved sign system ease movement throughout the Medical Cen-ter complex. Bridges on levels A through 4 connect the new hospital with Building 521. The east tower of the building does not extend beyond the fourth floor. A patient/ family day room is located on the southwest corner of each floor. Each level also has a visitor/ family waiting area. 12 STAFF AREAS PUBLIC AREAS RESTRICTED/ STERILE AREAS Level A Support services are concentrated on this floor. Most sections of the central pharmacy and central services are restricted to authorized per-sonnel. Most of the clinical laboratory services are consolidated on this level ( refer to the clinical labs section elsewhere in this handbook). STAFF AREAS PUBLIC AREAS r ~ l RESTRICTED/ STERILE AREAS 14 Level 1 The public hub of the hospital is this floor. The information booth, gift shop, sandwich shoppe, inpatient admitting/ billing, cashier's office, out-patient pharmacy, clinical lab, outpatient clinics, x- ray and elevator lobbies are heavily trafficked. Hospital administration, nursing services and the emergency room are other major depart-ments on this level. Employees should be helpful in directing pa-tients and visitors, although a lobby directory and improved sign system will greatly facilitate visitor flow. CLINICAL LABORATORY COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE j L m _ J M BRIDGE TO BUILDING 621 1 -[ j - 1 j - 1 j - 1 4 - m r - ADMINISTRATION STAFF AREAS PUBLIC AREAS m RESTRICTED/ STERILE AREAS 15 Level 2 The second floor includes respiratory therapy, the perinatal center and the chapel- waiting area overlooking the foyer. The perinatal center is comprised of an ante-partum postpartum unit, labor and delivery area, well- baby nursery, transitional nursery and new-born intensive care. A variety of birthing alternatives is possible because of the inclusion of options ranging from home birthing rooms to high- risk delivery areas. There is a focus on family centered care with all services on the same floor. 16 Level 3 The third floor includes a general surgical patient unit, cerebrovascular intensive care, sur-gical intensive care, ambulatory surgery, operat-ing and recovery rooms, anesthesiology and the blood bank. There are 10 OR suites ( burn and laser sur-gery suites are located on Level 4), including two orthopedic rooms and a cardiothoracic suite. The adjacent recovery room has been expanded to 12 stations and includes isolation and anesthesiology preparation areas. The new " case cart" system customizes the surgical instruments and supplies provided for each case. The clean core concept and patient flow patterns reduce the chance of cross contam-ination, as do the material handling systems on each level. The open bay design of surgical ICU facilitates patient care. There are isolation and cardiothor-acic areas. Neurology and neurosurgery patients in CVU benefit from the quiet atmosphere provided by pri-vate rooms. A large and comfortably furnished waiting area adjoins the public elevator lobby. Volunteers staff a reception desk. 17 Level 4 The Intermountain Burn Center, medical inten-sive care/ coronary care unit and a general medi-cal patient unit are housed on the fourth floor. The burn unit, including two burn- trauma study beds, has an operating room suite, hydrotherapy and other facilities for the total care of the patient. The outpatient laser and endoscopic surgery unit, cardiology labs and pulmonary function facil-ities also are located on Level 4. Patients and family members have access to two sun decks on this floor. MECHANICAL 18 Levels 5 & 6 The fifth floor houses two medical patient units. Two surgical patient units comprise the sixth floor. STAfF- PATIENT fELEVATORS I PUBLIC ELEVATORJ ISOLATION ROOMS NURSING STATION SATELLITE PHARMACY - L - L .

University President David Pierpont Gardner will deliver the dedicatory address. U. S. Senator Orrin G. Hatch ( R- Utah), chairman of the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources, also will speak. Mrs. Norma Matheson will join President Gardner in cutting the traditional ribbon across the front door. Prayers will be offered by the Most Rev. William K. Weigand, D. D., Roman Catholic Bishop of Salt Lake City and Elder Neal A. Maxwell, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. The public is invited to tour the new hospital Friday afternoon from noon until 3: 30 p. m. and Saturday from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. ( more) dedication/ 2 " We sincerely hope the people of Utah will take advantage of this invitation to come to the University and see this beautiful new health- care facility," says Jerry L. Smith, University Hospital administrator. A special employees' night is planned Friday from 4 p. m. to 8 p. m. " All University Medical Center employees are invited to bring their families for a picnic dinner and an afternoon and evening of entertainment," says Mr. Smith. The $ 63 million University Medical Center expansion includes the new University Hospital, the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Building for artificial organs research which opened last summer, a new seven- story medical education and research tower to be dedicated in October, a new 700- space covered parking terrace making a total of 2,500 parking spaces at the Medical Center and a new central facilities building housing the emergency power, heating and air conditioning equipment. The Hope Chapel, a non- denominational meditation room, will be dedicated at a service Sunday at 4 p. m. The chapel was made possible by a contribution from Hope S. and B. Lue Bettilyon. Mrs. Bettilyon was the first president of the University Hospital Volunteer Auxiliary. " Our new University Hospital has been designed according to the principle of function over form," Mr. Smith said. " The architects thought through what actually happens to our patients when they come here and then designed the building accordingly," he explained. ( more) dedication/ 3 " The new burn unit, for example, has its hydro- therapy and operating rooms located immediately adjacent to the patient care area so that patients will have to be moved very little to receive treatment," the hospital administrator said. " The labor and delivery rooms are located in the center of the second floor. The well- baby nursery is to the west with the Newborn Intensive Care Unit to the east. Within seconds of birth, the babies, depending on their conditions, will be transferred to the specialists necessary for their care," Mr. Smith said. " The new surgical suite has 10 large operating rooms and is designed for an easy, natural flow of patients in surgery and out through the recovery room to the surgical intensive care unit or the regular nursing units," Mr. Smith says. " Our new Emergency Department allows us to immediately evaluate the patient's condition and within seconds move him to the appropriate specialty area within the hospital. The Emergency Department has its own elevator so that patients can be moved quickly to where they need to go, whether it is the newborn center, surgery or the burn unit," he said. " The new University Hospital has two sets of three high speed elevators, one for the public and another for patients and staff. Two other elevators in the center of the building take cleanmaterials up into the hospital and carry soiled items down and out," Mr. Smith says. ( more) dedication/ 4 " We have a new nutrition care service, a system of satellite pharmacies and a new helipad just outside the emergency suite on the north side of the hospital. We believe the new University Hospital is a ' state of the art' hospital and we hope everyone will come and see it," he says. The new Emergency Department will go into operation on Friday, September 18th. Patients will be moved into the new hospital on Tuesday, September 22nd. The departments of pediatrics, psychiatry and physical medicine and rehabilitation will remain in the original building as the hospital grows from 310 to 450 beds between now and 1985. Space made available in the original building by the hospital expansion will be utilized by the University of Utah School of Medicine. # # # For further information contact: John Dwan September 3, 1981 University of Utah Medical Center 1981 Expansion Celebration Dinner PROGRAM WELCOME David P.

The new Medical Center complex began to draw a lot ot pub Lie support in 1965... as nearly- three million people trom the Grand Canyon to Canada began looking to University Medical Center to train their physicians, and other health care professionals, and, provide them with complex types ot care unavailable at community hospitals. In its sixteen years ot operation, 1 diversity Medical Center has become a major medical reterral and research center. And it is now recognized as a major international medical school and teaching hospital.

The number ot medical residents will also increase, 26. with appropriate additions to the faculty. 27. Retore opening our new facility, some patients referred to University Medical Center tor specialized care were turned away because ot bed shortages. 28. But now the University Hospital has 50 additional beds bringing the total number to 360, with a schedule tot another 90 beds -- totaling 450 -- to be added through 1985. 29.

THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MEDICAL CENTER • 1981 GRAND OPENING w THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MEDICAL CENTER • 1981 GRAND OPENING niversity of Utah Medical Cen-ter is one of the state's most precious assets. What finer cause for celebration than the culmina-tion of a building project that has made it bigger and better than ever. There could be no better time to be opening the " Greater Medi-cal Center." Utah and the Inter-mountain West are growing at more than double the rate of the nation as a whole. Before the turn of the century, we'll have a population of four and a half million people. Selective energy and industrial development, while ulti-mately desirable, will place even greater strains on health care in our rural communities, where medical personnel and services already are in short supply. Fortunately for Utahns and for our neighbors in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Nevada, the University of Utah has pioneered the concept of regional medical service. University Hospital and the Utah School of Medicine serve more than 10 percent of the geographic area of the United States, and our University Medical Center has evolved into a major referral, research and health professions training center for the entire region. This new space - the fruit of a $ 34.9 million bonding bill passed by the 1975 Legislature and of the generous private support of thousands of Utahns and others - will enable the University to come closer to meeting its responsibilities and potential in research, teaching and service. And it will ensure the continued high quality of specialized services that we Utahns have come to take for granted - but shouldn't. Ser-vices such as the burn and newborn intensive care centers, the spinal cord injury rehabilitation program, and the Inter-mountain Regional Poison Control Center. Because of programs such as these, our state and region are better places to live. University of Utah Medical Center benefits not only us but our children and their children. What finer investment could there be than those programs which alleviate human pain and suffering? Congratulations to everyone who helped make possible this " Greater Gift of Health." u he four years between ground-breaking and dedication of the new University of Utah Hospital tell only a fraction of the story of the ambitious Medical Center ex-pansion project. The real story lies in those friends of medicine who, since the day our University School of Medi-cine opened its doors 76 years ago, would not settle for less than the best possible teaching, research and patient care pro-grams for Utah and the Intermountain West. Without a persevering faculty, forward- thinking legisla-tive leadership and the generous support of private citizens, we still might be teaching and caring for patients in temporary wooden barracks, converted Army officers' quarters and the then antiquated Salt Lake County Hospital that served us for so many years. The " old" Medical Center on campus - it's really only 16 years old - was too small the day it opened its doors in 1965. But when patients move into the new University Hospital on September 22, 1981, they'll be cared for in a new facility designed to meet the health personnel and specialized care needs of the Intermountain West for the next two decades. We won't disappoint the region's 3.5 million residents who look to us to train their physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals. In addition to improving service to the 80,000 patients treated each year as inpatients, in outpatient clinics or in our Emergency Department, the University Hospital expansion allows our medical education programs to grow with the increasing population of the region. The new hospital, the education and research building, the parking terrace, the central plant building and the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Building for the artificial organs program ( all of which are part of the $ 63 million expan-sion project) and the soon- to- be- remodeled " old" Medical Center are located adjacent to the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library and the colleges of nursing, pharmacy and health, making the University of Utah Health Sciences Center the largest in the Intermountain Region and one of the very finest such centers in the nation. Under the leadership of Mr. George S. Eccles, the expan-sion fund drive was launched in 1975 - the largest such effort ever undertaken for private support either at the Uni-versity or in the state. At that time we appealed for a " Gift of Health." Thousands of people gave generously and their gifts, together with the $ 34.9 million bond issue, made it all possible. This " Greater Gift of Health" that we now are able to give back to the Intermountain community is a lasting monument to that generous support and the confidence of the Utah Legisla-ture, its governors and the people of our state and region. David P. Gardner President, University of Utah THE INCREDIBLE GROWTH OF THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER € he giant medical center complex that now is University Hospital and the School of Medicine had its beginnings on the second floor of the University of Utah Museum in 1904. It was in that year that the University Department of Biology was reorganized, resulting in separate classes in histology and embryology for medical students. The original building still stands directly northwest of the Park Building on President's Circle, and is in daily use. It wasn't long until this cramped facility had to be ex-panded. A gymnasium on the third floor of the museum was divided, giving the fledgling medical school a third classroom. These three rooms served as the home of medical educa-tion on the University of Utah campus until 1920, when the two- year, pre- clinical medical school moved to a new building just east of the present Pioneer Memorial Theatre. Some Uni-versity records show that this building was built as a dormitory for cavalry officers trained at the University during World War I. Growing interest in medical education forced an expansion of this facility in 1937. The School of Medicine ( called College of Medicine until 1981) expanded from a two- year medical school to a full four-year course in 1942. The addition of two years of clinical education to the school's curriculum meant that students needed a hospital where they could gain their clinical experi-ence. The only hospital available was the old Salt Lake County General Hospital, six miles from campus at 21st South and State streets. A former dean of the School of Medicine described the facility as " old, small, poorly arranged and very poorly equipped." The outpatient department was located in an adjacent house. The hospital was administered by Salt Lake County and " employees were hired and fired every time the politicians changed," according to this early dean. Because of these and other problems, it was decided that if the University of Utah were to move forward in health sciences education, it needed its own teaching hospital which would serve as the clinical laboratory not only for future physi-cians, but for nursing, pharmacy and health students as well. Ground was broken for the present building in 1962 and University Hospital officially opened its doors on July 10,1965. It is interesting to note that expenditures for that first year An early campus home of the School of Medicine Old Salt Lake County Hospital University Medical Center in 1965 of operation, only 16 years ago, were only $ 4.2 million. Oper- 5 ating expenditures now total more than $ 60 million yearly. But, University Hospital was not through growing. It was only a short decade before farsighted health science admin-istrators realized that a larger, more modern clinical facility was needed to support health science education at the Uni-versity. Design and funding plans were drafted and approved by appropriate authorities and the resulting $ 63 million of con-struction, culminating with the opening of the new hospital September 22,1981, makes the University Medical Center one of the largest and most sophisticated medical facilities any-where. The new University Hospital has approximately one- half million square feet of space, more than 2,000 employees, 450 beds ( by 1985) and is the home of the most technically up- to- date hospital equipment available. From its humble beginnings on the second floor of the University Museum, University Hospital has become one of the premier hospitals in the area, where patients receive excellent medical care at the lowest possible cost. The missions of the University's Health Sciences Center are medical education, research and patient care. As the teaching laboratory and patient care facility for the School of Medicine and the colleges of nursing, pharmacy and health; University Hospital is the key to fulfilling these objectives. Although it's come a long way since the beginning of this century, the hospital's future has just begun. The new Uni-versity of Utah Hospital... growing with a growing West.

It's the only program of its kind in the Intermountain Area. here is one basic reason why Uni-versity Medical Center has earned the recognition of being one of the top medical schools and teaching hospitals in the country: flexibility. In just a few short years, the University has responded to the needs of a growing Intermountain Area by developing needed spe-cialized services such as: Newborn Intensive Care Center cares for some 700 newborns annually • INTERMOUNTAIN SPINAL CORD INJURY CENTER More than 120 spinal cord injuries occur annually in the Intermountain Area. These victims, mostly young adults, are cared for by specialists who help them achieve the highest possible level of physical, psychological, social and voca-tional independence. • INTERMOUNTAIN REGIONAL POISON CONTROL CENTER This 24- hour emergency information service responds to more than 30,000 calls each year regarding accidental poi-sonings, drug abuse and attempted suicides. • INTERMOUNTAIN REGIONAL BURN CENTER One of the best equipped burn units anywhere in the United States, the University burn unit treats more than 200 patients each year through a team approach involving surgeons, nurses, therapists and social workers. The new hospital doubles the size of the burn center. • INTERMOUNTAIN NEWBORN INTENSIVE CARE CENTER This department cares for 700 premature and critically ill infants every year and is the only one of its kind between Colorado and the West Coast. Poison control personnel respond to emergency calls University Medical Center is a world center for genetics research Intermountain Burn Center treats patients from six- state area Wearable artificial kidney ( WAK) was pioneered at University Laser surgery pioneer Dr. John A.

The Utah genetics team is working toward eliminating genetic defects and improving health through preventive medicine. • LASER SURGERY The Medical Center's laser surgery unit is one of the nation's first and probably is the broadest program anywhere. The unit is working on a laser that would penetrate the skin and dissolve cancerous tumors on a lung. • ARTIFICIAL ORGANS Thanks to the continued research of this department, patients with kidney failure now can dialyze themselves at home with an artificial kidney. Additional work with artificial hearing, limbs, and hearts has made University Medical Center a world leader in artificial organs. umt II « I « I • mi m* mg • Msaa auuMt A GREATER GIFT OF HEALTH Wl LL CONTIN U E TO GROW Medical Center Expansion Fund Drive Donors of $ 5,000 or more s a public institution, University A Medical Center relies heavily on private donations to help maintain and improve its facilities and pro-grams. Without the continued sup-port of our many friends, today's " Greater Gift of Health" and other expansion programs like it would not have been possible. With your help, the University Medical Center has become a major patient care, medical education and research center, recognized as one of the top medical schools and teaching hospitals in the country. As a major medical facility, University Medical Center will continue to expand its programs and facilities as the needs of a growing Intermountain Area require them. And once again, the University Medical Center will appeal to the concern and the generosity of its friends to provide for the needs and health care of tomorrow.

Wheeler George and Lorna Winder ZCMI Zions First National Bank ' deceased A DIFFICULT GOAL, AND HOW IT WAS ACHIEVED he Medical Center Expansion Fund Drive was the largest fund- raising effort in the history of the Univer-sity of Utah. That it reached its multi- million dollar goal with several million to spare is a tribute to the untiring efforts and personal commitment of its dedicated volunteer fund raisers. Rarely have the efforts of community members, alumni, and staff been joined together so effectively - and with such enthusiasm, generosity and success! The $ 43 million hospital is the showpiece of a $ 63 million expansion project, which also includes the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Building for artificial organs research, the seven- story education and research building, a 700- space covered parking terrace, and a central plant building. Although the two- year fund drive was not launched until 1975, and ground wasn't broken for the new hospital until two years after that, expansion plans had been incubating since the mid- 1960s. Serious long- range planning for the drive began when Dr. John A. Dixon became dean of the School of Medi-cine in 1972. At that time, University President David P. Gard-ner not only approved the idea of a greater Medical Center, he also gave it his priority, directing University administrators and planners to start doing their homework for the project. The appeal that resulted was a persuasive campaign that identified the Medical Center as the prime training center for the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care pro-fessionals serving the Intermountain West. " This sprawling, sparsely populated area, growing at more than double the rate of the nation as a whole, will have a population of four and half million by 1995," said a brochure produced to launch the fund drive. " Energy development and heavy immigration will cause population booms throughout the area, and current shortages of medical manpower and services in rural communities will grow more acute." The brochure pointed out that the present Medical Center was " too small the day it opened in 1965" because of budget-forced cutbacks in gross square footage, and that " the ex-pansion will almost double the center's available space for education, research, and patient care." With this ammunition, the University " tested the waters" in the fall of 1973, interviewing 100 community leaders to describe expansion plans, seek support, and determine their degree of interest. The response was positive and enthusias-tic. University administrators then sharpened their pencils and determined they would need $ 34.9 million from the legisla-ture, $ 17.6 million from Federal funds available for health pro-fessions training programs, and $ 10 million from private sources to make the new Medical Center a reality. So, with community support waiting in the wings and all pertinent facts and figures at his fingertips, Dr. Dixon im-mediately went to the legislature. Then Senator W. Hughes Brockbank, chairman of the appropriations committee, and other key legislators added their political skills to the Uni-versity's efforts, and the 1975 Utah State Legislature approved a $ 34.9 million bonding bill at a favorable 5.5 percent interest rate for the expansion of University Medical Center - only the second instance of long- term borrowing in Utah's history. With the bond in hand, the University was ready once again, as it had been when the private sector contributed $ 3.5 million of the $ 14 million cost of the original Medical Center, to appeal to its friends to " provide today for the health needs of tomorrow." Enter banker and philanthropist George S. Eccles. Mr. Eccles, chairman of the board of First Security Corporation, had been involved with the 1965 building campaign, served on the Medical Research Foundation, and had a strong interest in the Medical Center. When he accepted President Gardner's invitation to be general chairman of the Medical Center Expan-sion Fund Drive in the spring of 1975, the big push began. He became the leader and the head benefactor. The drive was launched with an effort to raise $ 1.2 million of the $ 10 million within the Medical Center itself. Distinguished hematologist Maxwell M. Wintrobe encouraged his faculty colleagues to be pacesetters. The result was the needed $ 1.2 million, and the employees and volunteer auxiliary, led by Dr. James J. McNamara, director of social work, added an addi-tional $ 200,000 to the building pot. Outside the University other reservoirs were being tapped, led by a dynamic corps of fund raisers. Edward M. Naughton, chairman of the board of Utah Power and Light Company, and Arch L. Madsen, president of Bonneville International Corpora-tion, led the Advance Gifts Committee. Harold " Hack" Woolley, vice president and general manager of KTVX, chaired the Special Gifts Committee. The campaign's medical division, consisting of the Medical z Center staff, alumni, and community M. D. s, was led by Dr. Jack D. Stringham, class of ' 48, and the alumni effort within that division was directed by Dr. Homer E. Smith, class of ' 37. " The last few months and those last few million definitely were the hardest," recalls one fund raiser. But finally, the larg-est single gift ever made to the University of Utah - a $ 3.6 million bequest from the estate of VaLois Egbert - put the Medical Center Expansion Fund Drive over the top. To the donors, to the volunteer team, and to the hundreds of others who so generously gave this " Gift of Health" to the entire Intermountain Area, the University of Utah says, thank you. George S. Eccles, general chairman, Expansion Fund Drive Expansion nearly doubles available hospital space A PERMANENT SYMBOL OF GRATITUDE J 14 reating a sculpture to recognize C donors to University of Utah Medi-cal Center has special significance for artist Trevor Southey. " For me," says Mr. Southey, " art is only meaningful when it relates to life or offers insight into relation-ships between people. A hospital intensifies these relationships, giv-ing them a poetic significance." The sculpture, which will stand in the atrium of the new University Hospital lobby, was conceived by Mr. Southey. He will sculpt life- size metal figures which will be attached to steel walls inscribed with the names of all major donors since University Hospital first opened in 1965. " The walls support the figures, just as the donors support the healing relationships between patient and medical staff," says Mr. Southey. " The figures are in mid- air to indicate that their relationship has transcended the ordinary. The adult figure represents the medical profession, and the child sym-bolizes the dependency and vulnerability of the ill or injured." The adult figure is reaching out to the child, offering strength, knowledge and help. " This is a deliberate gesture," comments Southey, " just as the healers at University Hospital make daily decisions to become involved with their patients. The child is timidly reaching for the adult's hand, indicating that trust is beginning to triumph over fear." " There is a fundamental energy between the two figures," comments Southey. " This is not an accidental or an easy relationship. The healer and the patient are involved. They are committed. In this way, they reflect the ultimate potential of all people." ^ A native of Rhodesia, Trevor Southey learned his love of x r art while confined to bed with rheumatic fever. He attended art school in England and in Durban, South Africa, before moving to Utah in 1965 to study at Brigham Young University. He taught art at BYU from 1970- 1977, when he " reluc-tantly realized that I could not produce the energy to be both artist and teacher with depth and enthusiasm." Since then, he has devoted himself to his art, his family and his farm in Alpine, Utah.

The public ceremony will be held at 11 a. m. at the main entrance of the new facility. University President David P. Gardner will deliver the dedicatory ad-dress and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R- Utah, will also speak. Gardner and Norma Matheson, wife of Gov. Scott M. Matheson, will cut a ribbon across the front door. The Most Rev. William K.

Public tours will be conducted Friday fmm nnnn until 3- 30 n m. and Saturday from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. The $ 63 million expansion of the medical center includes the University Hospital; the Dr. Ezekiel and Edna Wattis Dumke Building for artificial organs research, which opened last summer; a new seven-story medical education and research tower, to be dedicated in October; a new 700- space covered parking and a new central facilities fuilding for emergency power, heating and air conditioning equip-ment. The Hope Chapel, a non- denominational meditation room, will be dedicated Sunday at 4 p. m. The chapel was made possible by a contribution from Hope S. and B. Lue Bettilyon. Mrs. Bettilyon was the first president of the University Hospital Volun-teer Auxiliary. The new emergency department will go into operation on Sept. 18. Patients will be moved into the new hospital Sept. 22. The departments of pediatrics, psychiatry and physical medicine and rehabilitation will remain in the original building as the hospital expands from 310 to 450 beds between now and 1985. The available space vacated in the original building will be used by the University of Utah School of Medicine. Jerry L. Smith, University Hospital administrator, said the new facility has been designed according to the principle of function over form. The new burn unit, for example, has hydro- therapy and operating rooms located adjacent to the patient care area so patients are moved very little for treat-ment, he said. The labor and delivery rooms are in the center of the second floor, with the well- baby nursery to the west and the newborn intensive care unit to the east. Utah health care touted at U. hospital rites RDflecs eret M/ m . a r\ / 11 /(- » 1 ™ Utah's health delivery system is the finest in the United States and thus in the world, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, said Friday. Hatch made the remark in a speech prepared for dedication ceremonies of the new University Hospi-tal. Utah's First Lady, Norma Matheson, joined University of Utah President David P. Gardner in cutting the traditional ' ribbon across the main entrance of the $ 43 million hospital, centerpiece of the $ 63 million JT of IT Medical Center expansion project. '• I1 Gardner said the dedication " is of importance, to every citizen of our state and to nearly all persons residing within the Intermountain West." " These new facilities will assure that competent health professionals will be educated and trained in one of the nation's pre- eminent health science centers," Gardner said. In addition, he said, major medical research breakthroughs will occur and medical history be made in the center this year and in those to come. " The University of Utah pledges to make effective and efficient use of these facilities and will do all within its power to satisfy the trust in us by those who made this expansion possible," Gardner said. Hatch said Utah's hospitals continue to rank among the nation's best in inpatient cost savings, shorter lengths of stay for patients, economies in hospital- clinic admissions and other health statistics. " I happen to know that several of the hospital administrators here this morning have done more to News 9/ 11/ 81 bring down health care inflation in their ' voluntary effort' campaign than all the previous federal efforts combined," Hatch said. He said the average patient from any other Mountain West state pays $ 299 more for a hospital visit than a Utahn, and nationally it costs a patient $ 430 more to receive the same level and quality of care. The average length of stay in Utah, 5.3 days, is the shortest in the continental United States and three days shorter than that of non- Utah patients, he said. Hatch said, " Maybe we should subsidize flying Washington's federal health planners back here for remedial training." Prayers were offered by the Most Rev. WilUam K. Weigand, Roman Catholic Bishop of Salt Lake City, and Neal A. Maxwell, a member of the Council of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. i Public tours ot the new hospital were held Friday afternoon, and will continue from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. Saturday. A special employees' night will be held until 8 Friday. The Hope Chapel, a non- denominational medita-tion room made possible by a contribution by Hope S. and B. Lue Bettilyon, will be dedicated Sunday at 4 p. m.. Patients will be moved into the new hospital Sept. 22. The new emergency department will go into operation Sept. 18. In addition to the new hospital dedicated Friday, the University Medical Center expansion includes the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Building for artificial organs research that opened last summer, a seven- story medical education and research tower to be dedicated in October, a 700- space covered parking terrace and central facilities building.

Special Rite Dedicates U. Hospital By JoAnn Jacobsen- Wells Tribune Medical Editor The University of Utah's new $ 68 million hospital, referred to as a " Greater Gift of Health," was officially dedicated Friday. The 11 a. m. outdoor dedicatory ser-vice, attended by medical, educational, governmental, church and business dignitaries, was more than just a ceremony. It was a celebration of health - complete with multi- colored balloons, flowers, food, music ( by the Cottonwood High School Jazz Ensemble) and pre-scriptions for happiness through the corrcction of illness. Spirit Alive. Well Featured speaker at . the ceremony, U. S. Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, emphasized that " the spirit of everything we cherish as Utahns is alive and well at the University of Utah Medical Center." Sen. Hatch, chairman of the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Re-sources, said ( he secret of the success of the new facility is " the charity and good works of the individuals and groups. who continue to make the U. of U.' s Medical Center one of the finest in the world. " More than anything else, we have come in celebration of the health care leaders and countless doctors, nurses and practitioners who breathe service, life and spirit into the building and health delivery complex we have gathered together this morning to dedicate." The complex is just north of the old hospital, which will be used principally as a teaching facility. Largest U. Addition The new hospital, the largest addition to the U. of U., has 420,000 square feet of space - almost doubling the size of the old complex. The architects were Gustavson, Nelson, Panushka GNP's. The expansion includes the new University Hospital; the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Building for artificial organs research ( which opened last summer); a seven- story medical education and research tower ; a 700- space covered parking terrace ( making a total of 2,500 parking spaces at the center); a new central facilities building housing the emergency power, heating and air conditioning equip-ment. Jerry L. Smith, hospital adminis-trator, said the new hospital was designed according to the principle of " function over form. Efficient Care Design " It was designed to care for the patient in the most efficient and economic way," he emphasized. " There are a lot of open areas, as well as logistical points from one area to another - the emergency room, to surgical ICU, to operating room, etc. " Utah really can't afford this place," Mr. Smith said. " The fact is we have a See Page B- 8. Column 1 Dr. Willem J.

The University of Utah Hospital is owned by the people of the State of Utah. However, according to hospital officials, less than 4 percent of the hospital's operating budget ( which totaled $ 60.1 million in 1981) comes from the State of Utah, contrasted with 15 percent for an average state- assisted teaching hospital. And, more than $ 12 million for the expansion project came as private gifts. U. of U. President David P. Gardner, in delivering the dedication address Friday, expressed apprecia-tion to the countless patrons who made the hospital expansion dream a reality. He stressed that the new facility will not only be an intricate part of health services in the West, but will be forefront in health services worldwide. The president's statement was exemplified by statements by world- recognized members of the medical center staff. Telling how the expansion will increase their capabilities for medical advancement were Willem J. Kolff, M. D., head of the Division of Artificial Organs; Anne G. Osborn, M. D., associate professor of radiology, and Roger R. Williams, M. D., associate professor of internal medicine. Mrs. Scott M. Matheson, wife of the governor, using a pair of surgical scissors, cut the ribbon to officially open the new hospital. Friday afternoon, from noon until 3: 30 p. m., public tours were conducted of the new facility. ( They will also be held Saturday from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.) Inside the front door, a sculpture of a nude man and child immediately catches visitors' eyes. Inscribed on the sculpture, done by Trevor Southey, is the following message, entitled '• Healing:" " When the pure impulse of the strong, the knowledgeable and the wise to spring to the aid oi the frightened and the vulnerable becomes instinctive and possibly the root of the greatest good in mankind Is found " 8 A | The Salt Lake Tribune, Monday, September 14,1881 W „ ... - , ,, , - - T- » - • - -- I - Tribune Staff Photo by Van E.

Sculpture at Chapel New University Hospital Offers Patients ' Healing' and ' Hope' By BenLuig Tribune Staff Writer TTie man who brought " Flight" to the Salt Lake International Airport has now brought " Healing" to the University of Utah Medical Center. " Flight" is the mural of two nudes flying, painted by Alpine, Utah County, artist Trevor Southey. The mural prompted some protests from groups claiming the artwork was indecent. " Healing" is a sculpture in the new hospital's entrance depicting a nude man reaching to a child. Both figures are atop walls bearing the names of those who have donated $ 5,000 or more to the hospital since 1965. Hospital officials have received no complaints on the sculpture, according to Medical Center spokesman John F. Dwan. Edge of Art " It's a beautiful and meaningful sculpture. We haven't gotten any nega-tive comments and we don't expect any. It's appropriate that just as the University of Utah hospital is on the cutting edge of knowledge, it is also on the cutting edge of art," Mr. Dwan said. In the hospital's grand opening brochure, Mr. Southey explains the symbolism in his work. " The walls support the figures, just as the donors support the healing relationships between patient and med- j ical staff. j " The figure^ are in mid- air to indicate that their relationship has transcended t| e ordinary. The adult figure represents the medical profes-sion, and the child symbolizes the dependency and vulnerability of the ill or injured," Mr. Southey states. The adult figure is reaching out to the child, offering strength, knowledge and help, he said. ' Triumph Over Fear' " This is a deliberate gesture, just as the healers at University Hospital make daily decisions to become in-volved with their patients. The child is timidly reaching for the adult's hand, indicating that trust is beginning to triumph over fear," he states. Mr. Dwan said, " It ( the sculpture) is a memorial to all those who have made major donations to the hospital." Hospital administrators were aware of the controversy surrounding Mr. Southey's mural " Flight," but that did not influence their decision to commis-sion Mr. Southey, based on sketches of the sculpture, according to Mr. Dwan. Mr. Southey has inscribed his own message On the sculpture, " When the pure impulse of the strong, the know-ledge and the wise to spring to the aid of the frightened and the vulnerable become instinctive, possibly the root of the greatest good in mankind is found." The new Hope Chapel at the hospital was dedicated Sunday. The chapel can accommodate up to 150 people and will probaply be used for a quiet room" for friendi and relatives of patients in the hospital. Volunteer President Thb chapel is named after Hope S. Bettilyon, the first president of the University Hospital Volunteer Aux-iliary in 1970.

Medical Center expansion project. Helen Kee. assistant administrator and director of nursing, said about 100 more patients will be transferred in three more moves over the next few weeks. The patients moved Saturday were from five general patient care units. Ms. Kee said they are patients who do not need intensive care. " They include medical, surgical and orthopedics pa-tients, but are not the sickest patients." 1 0 A " SfcRET NEWS, WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1981 U. of U. With a jaunty wave, Louis Bradley of Atlanta, Ga., was the first patient wheeled into the new area on the third floor. Bradley, badly injured in a motorcycle accident near Evanston, Wyo., was married about a month ago in the hospital's burn unit. The move was originally scheduled last Tuesday. It was postponed because of last- minute problems. Ms. Kee said some minor electrical problems in the new intensive care unit are being corrected, but a major electrical prob-lem in the operating suite will take about five weeks to correct. Larger transformers will be installed. Ms. Kee said two teams were organized for Saturday's move, with the housekeeping staff doing the mov-ing under the direction of admin
