Richmond.
United States Commissioner War
field Bennett writes:
I'VE have here in Richmond a hos
pital, named the Pattic A. Clay Infirm-
airy which is in no sense operated for
private gain or profit. 1t has been in
operation some 20 years and originat-
ed from donation of the building and
lot, and has been maintained through
public and private philanthropy.
81 would Judge that its permanent
assets including real estate Ii. e. hos
pital buildings and lott are $15,00O0 90
or s16.0O0.OO.
at does not pay any taxes.
at has six private rooms and three
public wards, thereby enabling it to
care for Is or 20 patients.
at receives both pay and non pay
patients, those who are financially
able to pay are required to pay,-$9 90
per day for private room, and $1.O0 to
$500 per day when in the ward.
at receives charity patients, and as
part pay therefor has received in the
past annual donations both from the
city and county In 1920 the city of
Richmond contributed $500 to this
infirmary towards the care of its poor
and sick and the county contributed
$1,000. The infirmary authorities adj
wise me that hese sums were not suf-
ficient to reimburse them for the ex-
penses actually incurred upon the pa
tents sent them by the city and coun-
ty.
There is no fixed amount to be do
mated annually by the city of county,
but Is dependent each year upon the
liberality Of the board of council, or
magistrates respectively.
"Their only other source of revenue
is from the liberality and personal eff
forts of the ladies and people gener-
ally of the town and county"
Danville.
Commonwealth Attorney Emmett V.
Puryear writes:
I'VE have a hospital in Danville not
operated for private gain and profit,
and in response to your first question
as to what its assets and resources
are, I am advised that 1t has $12,-
10000 endowment, from which it re-
ceives an income, which together with
fees from private patients who are
able to pay, constitutes its whole
source Of income.
an response to the second question,
as to from what sources its assets and
resources are derived, will say that
thew come from gifts and requests and
public subscriptions made at the time
the hospital was founded and since.
"In response to question three, 1t
does not pay taxes.
"In response to question four, as to
how many rooms for patients, the hos
pital has thirty-four private rooms
and sixteen ward beds.
"In response to question five, Does
1t receive patients for pay, and, If so,
to what extent?', the answer is yes,
all who can, pay. Rates are modified
according to ability of patient to pay,
ranging from s1.00 per day up.
an response to question six, as to
receiving charity patients, will say
that it takes any charity case not con-
tagious, chronic or insane, regardless
Of ability Of patient to pay, but re-
ceives a monthly stipend from city
and county, which is not dependent
upon services rendered, - mean
which is not regulated in any month
according to the number Of patients,
but is a fixed monthly allowance to
the hospital by the city and county"
