Consider Using Objectors At Athens State Hospital
Due to a severe staff shortage at Athens State Hospital a Civilian Public Services Camp of religious conscientious objectors may be established to serve as attendants. The plan aims to improve patient care. 50 vacancies exist while many staff left or on leave. Community groups broadly approve, with Rotary and Kiwanis voting yes. Objectors would be under Selective Service, reside on site, and receive minimal compensation.
