riGHT MEDTORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, August 18, 1957 New State Hospital Construction Starts At Groundbreaking Wilsonville TJ Twenty five years of planning bore its first fruit here Friday afternoon at groundbreaking ceremonies for the new F. H. Dammasch state hospital. Applying foot to shovel were Gov. Robert D. Holmes, Secre tary of State Marie Hatfield, State Treasurer Sig Unander, Mrs. F. H. Dammasch, and two daughters. Mrs. Donald Sieg mund and Mrs. Max Carman, all of Portland. The new IS million dollar general mental hospital will be the most expensive institution In state history when it is com pleted in 1963 to house 1500 patients. Dr. Dammasch, Portland phys ician and legislator, first envis ioned the hospital 25 years ago as an Institution for aged pa tients. Approved by People That idea was approved by the people in 1952. When the state legislature decided there was more need for a general mental hospital, that idea was also approved by the people in 1954. Speaking for the board of con trol before about 200 persons gather! for ceremonies. Secre tary of State Hatfield said: "As we break ground for a gigantic facility for mental ill ness, we must be ever mindful that we cannot depend entirely on modern structures and won der drugs to do a Job for rehab ilitation. The caliber of person nel and the degree of public support are the .measuring sticks for the job that will be done here." Hatfield said It was the hope of '.ie bsjard that the Institution might "re-illumine the mind, re store the spirit and reunite fa milies." Dr. John Evans, chairman of the Mental Hygiene committee of the State Medical society, sai' he hoped that Dammasch would become a dynamic hos pital, not just a group of bull dings. Mrs. Margaret M. Sharp, chairman ojt, the Mental Health association's' hospital committee rihnked the many citizens and i groups who have cared about and voted for the Institution. Surveys have shown that Ore gon needs 2,300 beds to add to the 4,500 now available for men tal patients. By 1965, that need will be an estimated 9,700 beds despite progress in therapy. Speakers praised Dr. Dam masch for his valiant and long endeavor for the hospital. Mrs. Dammasch was presented with a plaque commemorating the oc casion. Some $6,330,000 has. been ap propriated for the first phase of the hospital on which construc tion will start next spring. The fi:A unit will house 460 patients.
