INCUBATOR INFANT IN HOSPITAL MOVE
Denison Hospital and Clinic moved into its new quarters at Morton and Burnett today including transfer of a baby in an incubator.
Tiny Natalie Denice Wester, 4-1/2 pound daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Wester of Pottsboro, slept peacefully through the fuss of getting her and her incubator safely situated in the new hospital nursery.
The standard ambulance door was not high enough to accommodate the incubator, so a funeral home flower truck was pressed into service.  A hot water bottle was placed in the incubator to warm the baby during its brief journey, and away they went,  Minutes later the baby's move was completed without incident.
Four adult patients were also moved by ambulance this morning.
Necessary equipment was moved yesterday and today with lunch served in the new building today.  Completion of the move is expected today with Dr. S.F. Kuhala transferring his offices to the new facilities.  Saturday the hospital's operation will be completely centered in the new building.  The old building has been purchased by St. Luke Episcopal Church which adjoins it on the west.
