State declines new aged and alcoholism institutions
Oklahoma City public health committee delayed until January 27 a decision on proposals for a geriatrics hospital for the elderly and a separate facility for alcoholism treatment. State Mental Health Director H. H. Donahue favored the aged hospital but opposed a dedicated alcoholics institution, proposing wards in existing mental hospitals instead. Local cities sought sites including Fort Reno’s vacant 100 bed hospital at El Reno and Milleton’s Choctaw Indian girls school conversion. He warned that startup costs and a law change to widen alcoholic treatment at Norman Vinita and Supply mental hospitals pose barriers under current statute.
