Petersburg Hospital staff denial sparks council hearing
A Petersburg Local Health Council held an 8 30 PM hearing on the Hospital Board decision to deny Dr Peter Ross admission to Petersburg General Hospital staff. About 40 45 residents attended as Board Chairman Dave Ohmer favored admission while Jean Norheim Beulah Luhr and Paul Bowen opposed and Marie James abstained. Longworth called the move incredible noting a physician offering service to Petersburg citizens was rejected. Anne Taylor cited Oregon case where a doctor won damages against a hospital and urged reconsideration.
