The regular meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Milford Memoir
ial Hospital was held on Tuesday,
February 8, 1948, with about one
half of the members present. DR..
Fitchett and DR.. o. A. James, of the
&edical Staff, met with the Board
to go over the revised plans for the
new wing with Mr.. G. Morris
Whiteside, Architect. The revised
plans which still must be revised to
confirm to the ideas of the Medical
Staff and the Administration Office
will soon be ready for complete APP
prOVal. Under the revised plans, we
will have LAT beds for adults and
an increased number of bassinets
over those available at the present.
It is the hope of the Board and the
Administration that work can be
started early in the year. However,
that must be predicated upon the
availability of materials needed
and the condition of the labor sit
uation which must improve mater
tally.
The month of January was the
largest month in the life of this
hospital with the census daily
close to 80. Some days there were
over 100 patients. It is easily APP
parent, therefore, that building the
new wing is a necessity if we are
to take care of the people who re-
quire disqualification in this COM
munity.
