Davis Lynwood Recreation and Community Service Dept., 3798 East Martin Luther King Blvd., Lynwood, Ca. 90262 Dear Sir, I have been referred to your Department by Ms. Dorothy Siddell, Supervisor, Reservation Department, Bateman Hall, in regards to using these facilities for St. Francis Medical Center, Base Hospital educational functions. As the regional Hospital for the control and direction of patient care given by Paramedics throughout the surrounding community, St. Francis Medical Center is also responsible for the continuing education for the Paramedics and Radio Nurses in this area. It is the responsibility of this Department to monitor and maintain high standards of patient care given by Paramedics to all members of our surrounding community. Teaching sessions are provided by the Medical Center each month to ensure that the care given to everyone living and working in the area is delivered to the highest standard possible. St. Francis Medical Center is currently undergoing major renovation and construction that has resulted in being unable to schedule rooms for the purpose of these educational sessions. I am therefore looking to the community to assist me with this matter and would be very interested in using the facilities at Bateman Hall for some of these classes. Rooms would be required just 2 -3 times a month for two hour increments usually over the lunch time hours. The time and dates can be flexible for the needs and requirements of others using Bateman Hall. Member of DAUGHTERS OI: CHARITY NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM 0 0 With funds available for such educational purposes being limited we would be grateful for a fee waiver or fee reduction for the use of these services. If there is any further information you require regarding the classes or facilities we require please call me at (310) 603 6886 and I will be happy to help you in any way possible.
