the water w’ill be able to be
connected with the disease,” Dr.
Edmunds said. “Authorities a

He said that fruits, vegeta

Volume 108 Number 29
Trustees of the proposed million-and-a-half dollar Ge
auga County Hospital have been notified that their applica
tion for federal funds is being considered.
William Barnes, trustee president, said the hospital is
asking for one-third of the estimated cost. This is the limit
under the Hill-Burton Act, which provides for federal funds
allocated through the states.
This means a maximum of $500,000 could be secured
in federal funds to aid the construction program. Mr. Bar
nes said the trustees have no indication of how much will
be granted, if anything.
Even if the maximum amount is granted, the hospital
trustees would still need to rely on public donations to
raise a minimum of one million dollars.
The Geauga Hospital Association has $312,000 in
pledges so far, according to Mr. Barnes. “We are hopeful
of getting the federal money,” he said, “but we must con
tinue our fund drive.
Handling the request for funds is the Ohio Board of
Health, according to Mr. Barnes. “We had to submit the
request to the Ohio Board first,” he said.
ederal funds for this purpose are allocated through the
Ohio Board of Health.
Proposed is an 81-bed hospital on Rt. 44 south of Rt.
322. The nine-acre site is the geographical center of Geauga
County.
The planned hospital will be five stories high. The es
timated cost of $1,500,000 includes the latest life-saving
equipment.
The planned hospital will have complete surgery, ma
ternity, pediatrics and medical departments. It is to be
ready on a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week basis to han
dle emergency cases of every description.
Facilities are to include accomodations for resident
physicians and nursing staff.
In addtion to these departments, the hospital is sched
uled to have a service and administration area to assure
1 efficient day and night maintenance.
