Radcliffe to Open Out-patient Clinic Next September

The Radcliffe Health Center will open an out-patient clinic at 79 James St. next fall "to provide daytime care of ambulatory patients," Dr. Sholem Postel, director of the center, announced yesterday.

Annex students requiring infirmary care next year will be hospitalized on the fourth floor of Stillman Infirmary. The present Health Center at 64 Brattle St. will be demolished this summer to make room for the new Harvard-Radcliffe Theatre.

The James Street clinic will involve "splitting our in-patient and out-patient facilities" until the proposed Harvard-Radcliffe Health Center is built, Postel explained.

Begining in the fall, Annex students who become sick in the daytime will report first to the James Street clinic, across from the Radcliffe library. Students becoming ill at night or on weekends will go directly to Stillman.

The beds, night-stands, and other equipment for in-patients will be moved from the present Radcliffe Health Center to the fourth floor of Stillman, which is now used for nurses' quarters, Postel reported.
