Attended the meeting of the
Griffin and Spalding County
Hospital Authority last night
and sat in while the Authority
: considering
was the final plana
, for our fine new hospital.
Oxsfi of the men who attended
the meeting was John E. Ran
som, who has charge of all
federal allotments for hospitals
building in Georgia. Mr. Ran
som knows his hospitals and our
conversation pith him was most
pleasant. We knew we were
talking with an authority 'on
hospitals and asked him many
questions.
Mr. Ransom surprised us
when he said “There are now
Just 15 hospitals in Georgia with
100 or more beds. This does not
include the state hospital at
Milledgeville or the' several Vet
erans Administration and Army
hospitals. When Griffin and
Spalding build their hospital it
will be the 16th big hospital in
Georgia.
Mr. Ransom, who has watched
the progress of the hospital
’ movement here said there would
be no finer hospital in the south
than the one here. He praised
Walter Oracle and the Hospital
Authority for their “intelligent
work” in making the Mg hos
;-.1 pital a reality.
We were interested in Ran
som’s comment on the Griffin
and Spalding County Health
Department. “It’s tops,” he said.
“I know you people must ap
preciate the work being done
under the direction of Dr. Vin
son. There is *no finer public
health man in the nation than
he.”
The hospital that will be built
l\?re will have 100 -.eds to sftart
but the plans are such that it
can be expanded to 350 or more
If heeded. The first unit, the
SR
to date and large enough to
care for this area for several
years. But if Griffin continues
to grow the time will not be too
far distant when 100 beds will
not fill our hospital needs.
One advantage of a fine, big
hospital will be that young
doctors will be attracted here to
serve internships in the hospital.
This will mean that some of
them will eventually settle right
in ttys community and take up
the work of the older physic
ians aa they retire.
The big new hospital will also
attract young women who want
to take nursing training and will
also open up Jobs for young
men and young women who
want to prepare for important
jobs in hospital administration.
All in all the big new hospital
will fill* a great need in our
community and will be an In
stitution that will add to our
prestege and happiness of all
who live here.
