Air Force Recruit Training In Texas Holiday Party Dated By Unit SMALL PATIENT at Morningside hospital, Portland, presents Mark Hatfield with hand-made hooked rug. During the Gover nor's tour of the 350-bed psychiatric facility, hospital officials an nounced that Morningside would begin accepting private patients from Oregon and neighboring states. For the past 50 years, Morn ingside has been primarily occupied by patients from Alaska. Hospital Notes Policy Change Morningside hospital, Portland, the largest private psychiatric hospital on the west coast, is being made available to private patients in Oregon and neighboring states for the first time in 50 years, Ad ministrator Henry W. Coe an nounced this week in conjunction with a tour of the 350-bed hospi tal by Gov. Mark O. Hatfield. Morningside was founded in 1893 by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, a well-known Oregon pioneer citi zen. Since 1904, the hospital has been primarily occupied by pa tients from Alaska. Last month, the Alaska Psychiatric Institute opened in Anchorage, giving the new state its first public psychi atric facility, and allowing Morn ingside to again accept private patients from the Northwest. Morningside is considered a pio neer among psychiatric hospitals in the “open door” philosophy of treatment, Administrator C o e pointed out, which was introduced in 1955, prior to the general use- age of tranquilizing drugs in psy chiatric care. The “open” hospital is characterized by the absence of locks and barred windows, Coe said. Children Visit Mrs. E.
