This week the column takes
pride in saluting the entire per-
sonnel at the Wylie Clinic-Hos-
pital on the official announce-
ment that the local medical
facility is now a full-fledged
active member in both t h e
American and Texas Hospital
Associations. The acceptance
of the facility into these or-
ganizations is a step forward
for the Clinic-Hospital, and
every person in the entire com-
munity should be gratified.
Patient care must always be
uppermost in the minds of
those who own, work in, or are
in any way connected with hos-
pital or medical facilities. It
should constantly be upgraded.
These two associations are in
e forefront to bring about this
irt of program, and we're par-
icularly happy that the local
institution is now an active
member. It's a far cry from
1951 when the local Lions Club
decided to "take a chance"
and build a medical clinic with
the hope of interesting a young
doctor to come to the small
town. In those intervening thir-
teen years considerable expan
