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.
