Newspaper Page Text'TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON A 11 i IS n The Sacred Heart Story Report of Survey Adds to Problem (Continued from page 1) In a short period o time. things went from bad to worse. Some of the most tell- -.'Mng blows came as a result of .:-' a 1959 Hamilton Associates "survey of hospital needs in fthe valley. The hospital con- isultant firm reported that be- , tween the two hospitals there j were more than enough beds ; ,to adequately serve the val ley area. l In addition, it called atten , 'tion to the outdated condition , ;?of the hospital itself, and said there was a definite need for replacement of the existing liijphysical plant, t i Noting that the hospital's , present location on top of the , hill is too cramped to allow further expansion, the report '..concluded with a prediction Hhat in another five years the ; ((hospital would reach "the limit" of the present hospital , operations. Several Solutions 1 4 The report suggested sev i.Jleral solutions to Sacred '"Heart's problems, none of ;.i which would have cost the hospital less than $2V4 jinillion. mi The discouraging report, ''combined with an increasing i 'jdebt and loss of prospective j 'patients to the new hospital " ion Oct. 12 caused Sister Luke iof the Savior, hospital admin S'lfistrator, to announce with 'deepest regret that the hos ; -. ipital would close. The hospital had no money 'with which to build a new in stitution. It owed in excess of .' '$286,000; of this $100,000 was an original debt, incurred when the hospital was con structed 50 years ago. There iwas no source of funds from s.which to draw, and closure ap peared to be the only answer. ."Pledges of Support But when the announce ment was made, a very real wave of emotion rolled over the valley From all sides came pledges of support and backing. Soon the clamor that .jthe hospital stay open became i-" so great that the Sisters of ; Providence undertook a re in evaluation of the hospital's situation and its prospects for 1 the future. ;3 Then, on Nov. 23, Mother 2 Judith, provincial superior of the Order of Sisters of Char- Ity of Providence, announced -i from Seattle that the hospital 'Would remain open.

ASHLAND PHONE three-point plan, which, if suc cessful, should insure the con tinued operation of the hospi tal for many more years to come. The points are; Close Fourth Floor To close the fourth floor and the maternity department to provide for more economi cal operation of the hospital. Reactivate an existing, but nearly empty, Foundation tund to receive donations for construction of a new hospital within five years. Set up, and adhere to, a definite schedule for obtain ing funds for the new hos pital. In her announcement that the hospital would remain open, Mother Judith attribut ed the change in decisions to the expressions of support from the Jackson County Medical society and the com munity itself. She noted that success of the hospital would be contingent upon continued support. It seems fitting that the people of the valley, who, 50 years ago, were instrumental in bringing the hospital to Medford, should not be large ly responsible for keeping it here.
