Bankers Favor Extendicare Plan for Aiken County Hospital
Cecil McFerrin of Bankers Trust, member of the Aiken County Hospital Board, reports most bankers favor Extendicare Inc. hospitals for the county project. He cites good operations and competitive rates though concerns arise about lack of emergency and clinic facilities and past management changes. McFerrin shifted from private to county supported model after discussions with Dr. George Poda and Sam Nesbit, warning that a private hospital would push up indigent and outpatient care and could force county underwriting.
