Harris County Hospital District wins 500000 budget boost
Harris County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a 500000 supplemental budget for the Harris County Hospital District after previously denying two larger requests. Funds will advance patient care and planning, including a five bed coronary care unit at Ben Taub General Hospital opening by Feb 1, maternity expansion at Jefferson Davis Hospital, and renovations to enable administrative space. Additional allocations cover beds, stretchers, blood bank, pharmacy, and supply needs, plus round the clock transport and lab supplies. The court also urged hospital board chair Dr Myke Durham to reconsider his planned resignation set for Jan 28.
