VA Orders Hospital Reduction in Ohio and Nationally
The Veterans Administration orders a 2000 bed cut in Ohio as part of a 16000 bed national reduction in its hospital program. The move cancels 24 new hospitals and trims beds in 16 others, with Ohio losing a 1000 bed neuropsychiatric center in Toledo and several other reductions including Cleveland and Cincinnati facilities. The plan, driven by overestimates of postwar veteran needs, is under Senate review with Ohio hearings set for March 22.
