A vast underground basilica, a 900-bed hostel village, and a hospital rise outside Lourdes as pilgrims flock to the grotto.

Medical Dean Proposes Towns Fund Doctor Training
Dr Frederick G Gillick of Creighton University Medical School proposes subsidizing medical education for students from isolated towns. Communities would form non profit groups to fund an eight year program costing about 16000 dollars. In exchange the graduate would serve five years in the town or repay in cash. North Dakota already offers a 2500 dollar annual loan for the final two years with loan forgiveness for service.
