ity mutual funds are now available
~ to investors through the bank’s Dis-
count Brokerage Department,
Cars to have
rear lights now
more cars on the highway this fall
sporting an additional safety feature
— an eye-level rear brake light that
will reduce the danger of rear-end
collisions.
Transportation Secretary Eliza-
beth hanford Dole, who has made
safety her number one priority,
said, ‘‘We expect to cut the number
of rear-end collisions significantly,
eliminate some 40,000 injuries and
save annually an estimated $434
million in property damages once
all vehicles on the road are
equipped with the third lamp.”
Cars manufactured after Sept. 1,
1985, will be required to have the
new rear stop lamp, which will
supplement the two lower - brake
lights. The regulation requires the
third stop lamp to be mounted on
the centerline of a vehicle, between
the trunk and the top of the roof,
either inside or outside the rear
window.

There is a new concept in health
care invading the Back Mountain
area. Actually, it is not exactly an
entirely “new concept”, it is an old
idea returning after a quarter of a
century of sick leave.
The new concept? In-home Health
Care, offered by the newly opened
“House Calls,” in-home health care
agency located in the Dallas Cor-
ners Building, Dallas.
House Calls opened its doors this
past January in an effort to “bridge
the gap’ between the time a patient
leaves a hospital and the time the
patient is home-bound during recu-
peration.
“It is not an entirely new idea of
health care,” said Registered Nurse
Pamela Morgantini, who is also
House Calls’ Director of Profes-
sional Services. ‘In-Home health

years.”
According to Morgantini, the idea
of medical personnel visiting a
patient at his or her home, following
a hospital stay, evolved many dec-
ades ago.
“The idea evolved from visiting
nurses of 20 to 25 years ago,”
Morgantini, a 1977 nursing graduate
of Luzerne County Community Col-
lege, said. “Those visiting nurses
did everything they could for a
patient.”
House Calls currently offers in-
home services including skilled
nursing, physical therapy, speech
therapy, respiratory therapy, nutri-
tional counseling, blood testing,

PAMELA MORGANTINI
One of the main reasons for the
need of In-Home care has been the
recent implementation of Diagnostic
Related Groups (DRGs) by hospi-
tals locally and around the country.
DRGs essentially categorize hos-
pital patients into general diagnos-
tic groups, which stipulate the
number of days a patient is permit-
ted to remain in a hospital. Under
the DRG system a patient is often
times released from the hospital
even though they may need addi-
tional care. That is where ‘House
Calls” comes in to help.
“Many times patients are dis-
charged from hospitals before they
should be,”” said Morgantini.
‘“‘Today’s patients are sicker when
they leave hospitals than they
should be.”
“It is a real shame as to what is
happening to the elderly in this
country right now,”” Morgantini
said. “I really love the elderly and
my work and that is why I try to do
what I can in this business.”
Morgantini said House Calls is not
an alternative to physicians but
rather is a suppliment to their care.
“We are not replacing the physi-
cian. We are bridging the gap,”
Morgantini said.
For _example, Morgantini
explained, there could be a home-
bound patient in the middle of the
winter season who is in need of an
insulin injection. Instead of a
patient attempting to brave the cold
and slippery roads to get to a
hospital, House Calls could send a
nurse to the patient’s home to
administer the injection.
“We try to look at the whole
patient to determine their needs,”
Morgantini said. “We (House Calls)
sometimes go out on a limb for the
patient. We try to meet every
patient need we can.”
According to Morgantini, the DRG
system has warranted the In-Home
health care system and most people
don’t realize how frightening being
home-bound can be.
“When a patient is released from
a hosptial and he or she is not ready
to go, they are often overwhelmed,”
said Morgantini. “We must realize
that someday that patient (who is
released early) could be you. And
that is why we are here,” Morgan-
tini continued. ‘We are trying to
make a difference in the psycho-
social home health care area. We
try to make the adjustment from
leaving a hospital to living at home,
a little easier for the patient.”
Morgantini said a patient desiring
House Calls’ services must be con-
sidered ‘‘Home-bound.”” Home-
bound patients are those who suffer
from illnesses which impair their
ability to get to a physicians office
or a hospital when they need to.
House Calls employees about 20
medical personnel who are on-call
on a 24-hour-a-day basis. House
Calls is open Monday thru Friday
from 9 am. to 5 p.m. and is
available after hours through their
answering service.
