Athens plans charity hospital to serve all citizens
The Banner urges formation of a city charity hospital in Athens. Months of work are needed, but once established the project will bring pride and benefit. City physicians may donate services and trained nurses could assist charity patients, possibly earning by private work when idle, helping make the hospital partly self supporting.
