Sinai Hospital Opens New Surgical Suite;
Financed by $162,500 Grosberg Contribution

Sinai Hospital on Tuesday
opened its new 17-operating-room
surgical suite featuring some of
the most up-to-date equipment and
operations systems in the country.
The suite, financed largely by a
$162,500 gift from the Charles
Grosberg Foundation, also includes
a 16-bed pre-operative holding.
room and a 25-
bed recovery
room.
The suite is lo-
cated on the
ground floor of
the Max M. and
Marjorie S.
Fisher Pavilion
which opened in
July.
The new oper-
Grosberg
ating rooms re-
place and update the present seven
operating rooms and one cystoscopy
room located in the original north
wing of the hospital.
The holding and recovery rooms
are adjacent to the operating suite,
and are designed to reduce delays
in patient movement and thus in-
crease operating room usage. Both
areas are staffed around the clock.
The suite consists of 13 ultra-
modern operating • rooms for
general surgery and two rooms
each for endoscopy and cysto-
scopy.
General operating rooms are
divided by a central corridor which
is kept sterile at all times. Custom
sorted surgical instruments are
held in special holding areas along
the corridor to await scheduled
cases.
Only the surgeons and other
operating room personnel enter
through the central corridor, while
patients are brought in for surgery
through separate corridors on the
outside.
- • This double-corridor system,
according to a hospital spokes-
man, is designed to minimize
contamination risks.
Each general operating room is
equipped with a highly sophisti-
cated physiological monitoring sys-

tem, plus two overhead lights and
two hydraulic towers equipped
with gases, oxygen, suction and
monitoring lines. Each room also
contains an x-ray viewing box,
monitoring display devices and
lines for television transmitting
and receiving.

Charles Grosberg was a co-
founder of the hospital and a
member of the board of trustees
at the time of his death in 1968.

Several months later, the board
of trustees honored him in a reso-
lution, citing him as "a man of
deep religious conviction — de-
voted to his home and family, his
community and to the state of
Israel.
Grosberg spent most of his
later years in philanthropic en-
deavors. Among them, he estab-
lished a religious center at Wayne
State University, financed a 27,000-
seat stadium at the Hebrew Uni-
versity in Israel as well as an
education building at Bar-Ilan Uni-

versity in Israel, and funded two
villages and an athletic field at

He also donated land for the

Bnai Moshe religious school and
financed a snack bar at the Jewish

Community Center.
"Sinai Hospital was honored to
have been served by Mr. Gros-
berg," said Dr, Julien Priver,
executive vice president. "We are
also grateful that he chose Sinai
to become the recipient of one of
his many generous contributions
to the community."

AJCongress. State Dept.
to Meet on Broadcasts
to Jews in Soviet Union

NEW YORK — The American
Jewish Congress has accepted a
State Department offer of a meet-
ing Tuesday to discuss Voice of
America broadcasts in Yiddish to
Soviet Jews.
The meeting will take place at
the State Department and will in-
clude VOA officials. Representa-
tives of the American Jewish Con-
ference on Soviet Jewry are ex-
pected to attend.
The offer "to discuss the issue
in more detail" was made by a
State Department official to Will
Maslow, executive director of the
AJC, in response to a letter Mas-
low sent President Nixon asking
him to approve such broadcasts.
In hi reply on behalf of the
President, Jack F. Matlock, coun-
try *rector of Soviet Union af-
fairs for the State Department,
reiterated technical objections by
the Voice of America to Yiddish
broadcasts.
He added:
"We hope that the Voice of
America's coverage of Jewish af-
fairs is providing hope and en-
couragement to Soviet Jews and is
demonstrating the concern of
Americans about their plight.
VOA's communication with its
Soviet listening audience regard-
ing Jewish affairs should be in-
telligible, effective and helpful
for the situation of Jews in the
USSR."

To live is to function. That is
all there is in living.
