At KSH
Unit System Offers New
Approach In Treatment
a
KrmcmlnT, Your Dollar Buys More at a Beanlen Store*"
One of the many progressive
changes Instituted at Rusk
State Hospital during the past
year is the County Unit Sys-
tem of patient care and tr-
eatment. Under this treat-
ment program, the thirty co-
unty hospital district is di-
vided into four areas, each
consisting of several adja-
cent counties and the hospi-
tal Is organized into treat-
ment units to coincide with
and serve patients from their
geographic area of responsi-
bility.
In effect, this system crea-
tes several smaller hospital's
within the main hospital. Each
Unit has it's own psychia-
tric treatment team to care
for their patients using the
latest, most modern treat-
ment techniques and drugs
available. The team mem-
bers are psychiatrists, psy-
chologists, psychiatric so-
cial workers, registered nu-
rses, Psychiatric Nurse Te-
chnicians and Psychiatric Ai-
des. Within proven limits each
team operates on it's own
initiative to get their pati-
ents well and returned to
society as quickly as pos-
slble.

This type of organization
has many advantages which
have proven sujperior to tr-
eating all patients according
to the tyjpe and/or severity
of their Illness. It has been
found that people from the
same general area tend to
have more in common and
will be able to socialize qu-
icker and more freely with
other patients. This helps to
prevent their withdrawing so
far that they refuse to com-
municate with the team mem-
bers who need to know as
much as possible about each
patient's problems. This also
keeps a patient from being
"lost" In the group where
no one knows about him per-
sonally to look after his needs
on an individual basis rather
than as just one of the mass-
es.
A friendly rivalry develops
between the units much the
same as that found between
schools or towns in the same
league in athletics. Each tries
to do a better and faster Job
of getting their patients well
and renirned to society.
Dr. Arch Connolly, Super-
intendent, urges you to at-
tend the Seventeenth Annual
Open House at Rusk State
Hospital on Friday and Satur-
day, May 16th and 17th, bet-
ween the hours of 9*00 a.m,
and 4;00 p.m. to see how the
Unit System and other chang-
es have Improved the morale
and raised the hopes for the
patients' recovery. In ex-
tending the invitation, Dr.
Connolly says, "We would
like to share with you our
renewed hopes and enthusi-
asm for helping the patients
return to a useful, function-
ing role in the community as
a first class citizen. It is
tryly remarkable what fresh
approaches, new techniques,
and modem drugs have en-
abled our staff to do in treat-
ing the mentally HI."
On both days there will be
two presentations of the An-
nual Open House musical pro-
gram with an all-patient cast
as well as guided tours of
the hospital. These perfor-
mances will begin at 10;00
a.m. and 3;00 p.m. Ihe th-
eme of this year's show Is
"There's No Business Like
Show Business".
