Alabama Hospitals Program Expands Federal Aid Reach
WASHINGTON AP Alabama stands among top participants in a national hospital program that will total 2.26 billion dollars over the next 12 years. Alabama leads with Tuscaloosa area work, aided by Senator Lister Hill and former Senator Harold M. Ickes, and the program aims to construct hundreds of new hospitals as federal grants rise. Alabama has 13 completed or pending projects totaling about 10.07 million dollars, with more projects estimated at 11.76 million dollars awaiting approval. Dr. John W Cronin of the Federal Security Agency notes the nation is two decades behind on hospital needs, but a growing program should spark construction of thousands of hospitals in the near term. State shares are set so Alabama covers about a third of project costs while the federal government covers the rest. New York chose one-third local, two-thirds federal. Local and state approvals precede federal review, culminating with Surgeon General acceptance. The Alabama list includes Birmingham Carraway Methodist Hospital, Jefferson County Health Center, Crippled Children's Clinic, St. Vincent's Hospital, among others, with specified costs and shares.
