Perhaps Big Horn County
Community hospital is not mis-
named, but the word County"
in the title seems to give many
the false impression that the
hospital is maintained by Big
Horn county.
This is absolutely untrue.
The emphasis should be on
the word Community" in the
hospitals name, since it was
bought from On. J.. H. Labbitt
some years ago with funds vol
unteered by citizens from over
the entire county.
The government of Big Horn
county has absolutely no con-
troll over the hospital and it is
not supported by tax money col
lected by the county. County
patients are cared for at the
hospital, however, since the eS-
Establishment has a contract let
by the county commissioners
for the purpose Of caring for
county cases. In this respect
only = on a per-patient basis -
does the county contribute to
the hospital.
incidentally, the county COM
misSioners say that this ar
rangement is very economical
in comparison with what some
other counties have to pay for
care Of county sick, and is far
! more satisfactory than if the
county was forced to maintain
| a hospital for the purpose.
The hospital is operated! I'M
der a board made up of local
citizens, with Dan Maddox as
chairman and o. E. Anderson,
secretary-treasurer. 1t is sup
ported by donations from indi-
Yiduals and organizations Of the
county. At the present time the
hospital is operating successful
" under the able management
Of Mrs. AgunS Holum, but funds
are not available for much
needed improvements and ad-
ditionsto TO the building
The hospital board believes
that adequate addition and inn
provements could be had for 20
