Aiken County Hospital Debate Spurs Public Hearings
Between August 29 and September 17 the Aiken County Board of Commissioners held hearings in six towns to debate building a private or public hospital. Most attendees backed private hospital plans from HCA at about 9 million dollars, while a 10,058-name petition urged preserving the current hospital and expanding it. Local figures Davis and Kirsch criticized county control, and county officials signaled possible further hearings and a November 1974 referendum on hospital type.
