Broader Hospital Construction Laws Sought by G roup Salem (U.R3 Public health authorities today recommended that the Legislature broaden present hospital construction laws to permit the acceptance of $600,000 in federal grants for ' additional hospitals and medical facilities in Oregon during the next two years. The funds, part of a $60,000, 000 supplemental appropriation .to the Hill-Burton hospital con struction act passed by Congress last spring, are earmarked for chronic disease centers, rehabili tation facilities,; nursing homes and diagnostic or treatment cen ters. ' . The recommendation that Ore gon participate in the new na tional program was made at a meeting of the State Board of Health. ' - - Dr. Harold Erickson state health officer, said that more than $16,000,000 worth of hos pitals, and public health facili ties have been built in Oregon with the ad of Hill-Burton act funds:' He added that the new medical facilities are critically needed in Oregon .because of the . aging , nature of our popula tion. ,vj - V: . ', i If 'the federal grant is ac cepted..; Dr. Erickson said, the state: board of health would be required to make 'an extensive survey to determine the state's needs before approving any con struction grants. A survey would take -. several months, ne est . mated. -' - " - f The funds probably would be allocated on the basis of $1 of federal money for every $2 of local money, resulting in the construction of at least $1,800, 00f of additional facilities. Total cost to the state would be $17,000 for survey, planning and. administration. Unless the legislature enacts enabling legis lation, the grants will expire June 30, 1957, Dr. Erickson said.
