INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT OF NORTH AMERICA WORLD SURVEY CONFERENCE ATLANTIC CITY JANUARY 7 to 10, 1920 PRELIMINARY Statement and Budget for American Hospitals and Homes PREPARED BY SURVEY DEPARTMENT AMERICAN HOSPITALS AND HOMES DIVISION T HIS Survey statement should be read in the light of the fact that it is preliminary only, and will be revised and enlarged as a result of the dis¬ cussions and recommendations of the World Survey Conference. The entire Survey as revised will early be brought together in two volumes, American and Foreign, to form the basis of the financial campaign to follow. The “Statistical Mirror” will make a third volume dealing with general church, missionary and stewardship data. INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT OF NORTH AMERICA WORLD SURVEY CONFERENCE ATLANTIC CITY JANUARY 7 to 10, 1920 PRELIMINARY Statement and Budget for American Hospitals and Homes PREPARED BY SURVEY DEPARTMENT AMERICAN HOSPITALS AND HOMES DIVISION Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2019 with funding from Columbia University Libraries https://archive.org/details/worldsurveyconfe00inte_3 HOSPITALS AND HOMES The Heart of the Church OSPITALS restore health and strength to the sick and the afflicted. Christian hospitals minister to the souls as well and give hope to the despairing and confidence to the timid. The first hospital charter is recorded in Matthew XXV. The first free clinic was opened in Galilee twenty cen¬ turies ago. Homes care for helpless and friendless infancy and give shelter and sympathy to the homeless and the aged. But the Heart of the Church Is Beating Very Slowly and Irregularly Many aged and disabled ministers are being placed in poor-houses by the very churches they served when in health and strength. Dependent and defective children are being turned into delinquents simply through our indifference and neglect. Neglected souls and bodies mean preventible human suffering, social inefficiency and economic loss. Transfusion Transfusion of healthy blood has saved many a life tremb¬ ling in the balance. Christian love and sympathy trans¬ fused into the life-blood of the church will quicken its heart-beats and bring renewed health to every part of its body. HOSPITALS AND HOMES “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” T HE Interchurch World Movement’s American Division of Hospitals and Homes comprise in its survey all evangelical church institutions in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii and the West Indies so far as this could be discovered. It includes general and special hospitals; homes for the aged, for retired ministers, for returned and retired missionaries; homes for children and homes for missionaries’ children. If the church of Christ be held responsible for the spiritual welfare of humanity it is none the less obligatory that she care for those who have felt the keen edge of adverse circumstances and who have experienced the rebuffs of an unkind world. The survey of these institutions has discovered three crying needs: more hospitals for the sick and afflicted who are otherwise left to suffer; more abundant shelter and care for helpless children; an increase in the number of homes for unfortunate elderly people who in the evening of their days find themselves without comforts or adequate means of support. To realize the necessity of maintaining hospitals, homes and other benevolent insti¬ tutions of a like order we have only to look about us. On every hand we are met by fellow-beings, young and old, to whom adequate care has never been given and from whom comes either a cry for help or a cry of warning. Their appeal should startle us into a feeling of guilt for past neglect and rouse within us a sense of duty and a desire to atone for it by renewed effort. We cannot relegate the fulfilment of this obligation to state or municipality. The establishment of Christ’s kingdom cannot be fully attained unless strong emphasis be placed on care for the sick and needy. It is the reproach of evangelical Christianity that in this respect it has hitherto fallen far short of its duty. The present moment is an opportune one for a great advance to be made. It is Christian teaching that all healing is divine healing. Christ’s love enters into the application of surgery, medical treatment or nature’s restorations. They express His sympathy for suffering humanity. He it was who first established free clinics for physical healing and gave hospitals their charter: “I was hungry . . . thirsty . . . a stranger . . . naked . . . sick, and ye ministered unto me.” Christ included physical healing in His life program and declared that this ministry to the bodies of men was one of the chief credentials of His divine mission. 6 HOSPITALS AND HOMES CHURCH HOSPITALS EITHER states nor counties nor cities have ever made adequate provision for all their sick. In New York City there are forty-five non-municipal hospitals caring for one million patients annually! They are always crowded and compelled to refuse urgent cases simply from lack of accommodation. Civic institutions do not provide either a Christian atmosphere or religious teaching, and those who in days of health have lived under Christian influences should be given similar advantages in times of sickness. It is stated on good authority that of the seven thousand American hospitals one-half are under Roman Catholic auspices and less than one- tenth are conducted by evangelical churches. Christian hospitals are needed in order that nurses may create a definitely Christian at¬ mosphere around the sick and dying. PROGRAM FOR CHURCH HOSPITALS A NYTHING like an adequate hospital k program for the evangelical churches of America must include a greater efficiency and an increased capacity for all existing hospitals. New hospitals must be established in needy and populous centers. Tubercular hospitals should be founded in locations favorable to scientific and natural restoration, and hospital-homes provided for the aged infirm and for incurables. More Christian nurses and executives must be trained, more clinics and better surgical care for children provided, and more sanitaria for special ministries supported. Investigators are busy throughout the United States discovering the best methods by which this program can be made effective. The pro¬ gram includes specialized, centralized and standardized hospitals. Special care should be taken to avoid overlapping and duplication. CHILDREN’S HOMES NSTITUTIONAL homes may not furnish an altogether ideal method of caring for abandoned and destitute children, but condi¬ tions have proven their necessity. So long as hard-hearted parents abandon their offspring and death prematurely removes the bread¬ winner of a poor household, so long the usefulness of such places cannot in justice be denied. CHURCH ORPHANAGES CAREFUL study of the field reveals the fact that no adequate provision for home¬ less children has yet been made. Such homes give to children from broken families a care and training which cannot be assured in private households except in a. small minority of cases. Special homes give temporary care to those whose parents, one or both, will be able to look after them later on. Church homes are frequently used by juvenile courts—safe places of detention for children rescued from harmful surroundings. The placing of children in suitable homes is desirable, but there are never sufficient of these to meet the need, and the boarding-out of orphans is questionable, as all too many families, particularly in the country, simply want a boy or girl to do chores around the home or farm. The standards of education and the assurance of Christian training in homes are, gener¬ ally speaking, higher than those which the average family provides. Defective children, physically or morally weak and unfit, sorely need the benefits to be derived from institutional life. Lastly, the growing demand for these homes demonstrates their necessity. Their managers are constantly being urged to care for more children. One home in Richmond, Virginia, rejected 750 children last year; another in Ohio rejected 500; one Long Island home rejected 110, and all for the same reason—lack of accommodations. As long as there are unfortunate and bereaved children in the world and so long as forsaken babies are found on doorsteps, in hallways and elsewhere, we must save their lives and provide a place for them. HOSPITALS AND HOMES 7 Inhuman parents would often destroy their offspring were they not aware that some insti¬ tution would care for them if deserted. There are probably fifty thousand children in Protestant homes for children in the United States. A constant stream of young life is flowing into these houses of mercy. Another stream is flowing out into the world, to become either a blessing or a bane to the coming generation. To neglect these children is to furnish a menace to society and to lose precious opportunities for the conservation of child-life to high and useful purposes. A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN’S HOMES HILDREN’S homes should afford the best possible conditions for the health, growth, happiness and moral development of their in¬ mates. Religious and mental instruction should be thorough. A complete vocational education should be furnished, to include domestic science, house¬ hold economics, manual training, gardening, instrumental and vocal music and drawing. Everything should be done to remove the chil¬ dren’s handicaps and produce a normal con¬ dition for their growth and right upbringing. WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS HURCH and child welfare organizations should seek to create new social conditions for the children’s protection; rescue the home¬ less and defenseless and, awaiting the selection of a suitable private home, place them in orphanages; receive children assigned for deten¬ tion through the juvenile courts; place these in private homes and give further attention to their welfare by legal or institutional authority. Each welfare organization should have a regis¬ tration system and a follow-up plan, establish¬ ing a moral influence over every child until he or she reaches years of maturity. HOMES FOR MISSIONARIES’ CHILDREN OME objections have been offered to homes for missionaries’ children but the fact of their foundation and continuance is a significant argument in their favor. Our missionaries are out on foreign fields; they have reared their children in conformity with Christian principles and constraint; they desire this influence continued. Hence, special homes in college towns, where their children may be maintained at a moderate cost under the best care while they continue their education, are urgently needed. The argument for such homes is as strong as their need. A survey of those already existing 8 HOSPITALS AND HOMES reveals the fact that outside of a few eastern cities there is need for their more liberal sup¬ port. Certainly their claim on human sym¬ pathy constitutes an urgent and compelling appeal. HOMES FOR THE AGED A BOUT three hundred homes to which the XlL unfortunate aged may retire in comfort have been provided. But the provision is en¬ tirely inadequate. Our survey has discovered conditions among the old people of a distinctly saddening character. It is sincerely to be hoped that the near future will witness the founding of homes for the aged in sufficiently large number to remedy the truly deplorable state of affairs that now exists. RETURNED MISSIONARIES’ HOMES M ISSIONARIES and their wives give up their homes to labor among foreign peoples in alien countries. They return to their native land to find their near relatives scat¬ tered, and quite often suffer discomfort and financial embarrassment. We shall not have done our full duty to these devoted men and women until a home for their temporary resi¬ dence while on furlough, has been provided and its permanency assured. HOMES FOR RETIRED WORKERS W HEN missionaries and ministers retire from active service where are they to go? Fortunately a good number have been able to make some sort of provision for old age. But what about the less fortunate? The super¬ intendent of an overcrowded home for the aged says: “In my state there is in every county house an old preacher.” Do we desire such a state of affairs to continue? Or shall we provide suitable places where these aged heralds of the cross may be housed in security and peace? Some such homes are already in existence and are highly valued. No one proposes or desires a deportation of aged ministers to such institutions. Yet many are asking for such a provision. Is this request to be met with a denial? HOMES FOR OLD PEOPLE ADEQUATE provision for helpless, home- Ljl less, aged people has never been made. Throughout the entire country there are less than twenty thousand residents in homes of this sort. Because of inadequate endowment of such homes, only persons of fair health, possessing a certain sum of money, and under a given age, are usually admitted. These barriers leave the most needy totally unprovided for. HOSPITALS AND HOMES 9 Even thousands of those able to meet the standards of eligibility are on the waiting list and unless some method of relieving the situa¬ tion be undertaken these must inevitably end their days in a county house. FINANCIAL NEEDS T HE accompanying tables showing the finan¬ cial need of evangelical church hospitals and homes is based upon the results of our survey. Questionnaires were sent to all institutions and field men made personal inspections. A goodly number of answers have been received which have been used as a basis in forming an estimate of the whole. Much difficulty has been experi¬ enced in locating and securing facts relating to these institutions. With few exceptions there are no church lists and workers spent weeks in compiling a record. Hundreds of letters were sent all over the United States to boards, officials, ministers and laymen. A PROGRAM FOR ADDITIONAL INSTITUTIONS UNDER CHURCH CONTROL T HE survey being conducted by the Hos¬ pitals and Homes Division has fully confirmed the judgment that denominational bodies are not doing all they might do and ought to do in this particular field of philan¬ thropy or Christian endeavor. The question is not altogether as to adequate hospital or home accommodations, although it could be shown that few communities are sufficiently supplied with these necessary adjuncts to civilization. Neither is the question wholly one as to the efficiency of public or semi-public institutions as compared with those controlled by denomina¬ tional agencies. The latter may and should always equal or surpass the former. The real question is, can the Christian church afford to leave entirely to city, state and community governments the care of the sick and afflicted, the outworn and homeless. To give an affirmative answer to this question would be not only to deny the obvious implica¬ tions of the Master’s teachings but also to neglect one of the best means of grace and power—to deprive the church of the privilege of exercising one of its most glorious functions. A broken limb may be cared for quite as well in a city hospital as in a church institution, but the denomination which leaves to the city, work of this nature will, in time, find itself indifferent to the great needs of humanity. Can it be that one reason why the American churches are not more missionary in spirit and in action is that they have neglected to care for their own who have been in need ? Some leading denominations do no work of this nature. Others conduct large enterprises. There are a number of states in which there is not a single denominational children’s hospital, home for children or home for the aged. In no state is there an adequate number of these in¬ stitutions. Only in recent years have the churches begun to consider seriously the care of their aged and infirm ministers and missionaries, their widows and children. The Hospitals and Homes Division as a result of its survey recommend, therefore, the follow¬ ing program for the development of this benefi¬ cent work: 1. The establishment, under church control, of at least one general hospital for white people in each of the following states: Alabama *Nevada Kentucky Oklahoma *Maine Oregon New Hampshire *Rhode Island North Carolina Utah New Mexico West Virginia *States without institutions of this character. Total estimated amount needed to inaugurate these hospitals $4,000,000. 2. The establishment, under church control, of at least one general hospital for colored people in each of the following states: *Alabama *Missouri Florida *North Carolina ^Georgia *South Carolina * Kentucky Tennessee Louisiana *Texas *Mississippi *Virginia *States without institutions of this character. Total estimated amount needed to inaugurate these hospitals, $3,100,000. 10 HOSPITALS AND HOMES 3. For the establishment of a Tuberculosis For these institutions at least $5,250,000 will Sanitarium in Arizona; $1,000,000 is needed, be needed. A denominational sanatarium of this character does not now exist. 4. The establishment, under church control, of at least four hospitals for incurables in the following states, is suggested: Massachusetts Ohio Missouri Virginia For these at least $6,000,000 will be required. 5. The establishment, under church control, of two Children’s Hospitals, especially for ortho¬ paedic work: It is suggested that they be located, one in Minneapolis-St. Paul and one in Texas. At least $2,000,000 will be needed. Denominational institutions of this character do not now exist. 6. The establishment, under church control, of eleven training schools for executives for de¬ nominational hospitals in: District of Columbia Georgia Illinois Massachusetts Minnesota Missouri (Kansas City) New York Ohio Tennessee Tennessee (Colored) Washington At least $1,100,000 will be needed for this work. This is a relatively small amount, due to the fact that they can be conducted in connection with large general institutions. Denominational institutions of this character do not now exist. 7. The establishment, under church control, of at least seven homes for the aged and infirm, in the following states: *Colorado Kentucky Delaware North Carolina Georgia (Colored) Washington Iowa *No denominational institution of this character exists in this state. 8. The establishment of Homes for Retired Ministers and Missionaries and their Wives and Widows, in the following states, where there are no denominational institutions of this character at present: California Greater New York Florida (partially completed) At least $1,500,000 will be needed for this pur¬ pose. It is suggested that all these homes be man¬ aged by the denominational ministerial relief boards. 9. The establishment of at least four homes for missionaries on furlough, the management to be under the direction of individual mission boards: California Colorado (Denver) Florida (Enterprise) partially completed Near New York City A total of $1,000,000 will be required for this purpose. Denominational institutions of this character do not now exist in the states named. 10. The establishment of at least three homes for colored children to be cared for by denomi¬ national boards in the states of Northeastern South Carolina Western Arkansas Western Mississippi A total of $450,000 will be needed for this pur¬ pose. None exist at present n the states named. The foregoing program calls for a total expendi¬ ture of $25,400,000. This item has not been included in the budget statements of the Hos¬ pital and Homes Division of the Interchurch Survey nor in the General Budget Summary of the Survey.

By Denominations and Boards. The figures for institutions which have reported needs are listed under “ Reporting.” The needs of those institutions which have not furnished sufficient data have been estimated and the totals of these estimates for each denomination, with the number of institutions considered, have been entered in the tabulation in bold-face, under the term “ Estimated.” These estimates were made by dividing the sum total of definite askings of each type of institution, by the total bed capacity of those institutions, and multiplying the total bed capacity of the “not reporting” institutions by this one-bed coefficient. By this process it was found that the askings for new buildings, equipment, endowment and debts were at the rate of: $4,000 per present “one-bed” capacity for hospitals. $3,494 per present “one-bed” capacity for homes for the aged. $1,005 per present “one-bed” capacity for homes for children.
