Funds Would Lead To Full Service Facility Welch Hospital Money
McDowell County residents may learn this week whether an extra 6.2 million from the state Legislature will fund Welch Emergency Hospital into a full service facility. Senator Lacy Wright says the 100 bed unit would add detox, ER, mental health, and obstetric services if approved. A House Senate conference committee is reconciling budget differences, with a decision expected by next weekend and a submission to Governor Rockefeller for signature thereafter.

Senator Opposes Reusing Leckie Money For Other Jails
Senator Lacy Wright states it would be unethical for Corrections Commissioner Joseph McCoy to reallocate Leckie Center funds if lawmakers approve reopening the McDowell County juvenile detention facility. The Senate budget proposes 632924 for Leckie, while the facility remains closed after February 1 1982 due to low population and budget cuts. Governor Rockefeller supported the closure, and McCoy remains opposed to reopening regardless of funds.
