Residents of Massachusetts Hall took their last dose of medicine against Meningitis over the weekend and reported no new cases of the disease, a type of which put a woman resident into the intensive care unit last week, Dr. Warren E. C. Wacker, director of University Health Services (UHS) said...
Eight rooms on the fifth floor of Stillman, the UHS in-patient facility, have been "temporaraily" converted to office and consulting room space, reducing the number of beds from 46 to 33, Kathryn A. Angell '74, assistant director for ambulatory care at UHS, said yesterday.
Stillman has been getting emptier because members of the Harvard community, like most Americans, are being hospitalized less each year, Dr. Sholem Postel, deputy director of UHS, said yesterday. He added, "It's a trend at colleges everywhere, and in most hospitals too."
The removal of beds will allow several UHS departments to expand, Angell said.
The changes will have no direct effect on the size of the medical and nursing staffs at UHS, she said.
