Doctors Agree On Equipment For Hospital In Brewster County
Alpine physicians met with the Brewster County Hospital designers to decide that only essential equipment will be bought initially. Dr. Joel Wright said purchases will be kept to a minimum as other equipment will be added later. Architect Ralph Davis said bid calls could occur in three to four months and active drawings must pass through county court, the State Health Department, and the Federal Government which will fund half the project. The doctors also approved noiseless tile floors for the hospital and discussed initial equipment needs.
