Medical Center Proposed at Township Meeting
A plan to convert a regional medical service center into a casualty facility was unveiled after Ellsworth J. Sterner, representing Dr. William F. Wacker, proposed purchasing near Ursino Lake for 5000. The project would cost 150000 to 200000 and house 18 to 24 physicians with advanced equipment. The building could receive a federal grant to become an emergency center with two ERs, a shock room, and cancer and heart disease clinics, and would be an experimental outpatient facility requiring zoning changes. Public care is set for March 14, with parking planned under or around the building.
