Hospital Opens Fund Campaign for Freeman Greene County
Officials of the Freeman Greene County hospital report a $1,050 donation milestone toward a $40,000 fund to equip a major expansion. The drive names Frank A. Lenning as chairman with Ben Sink, Andy Humphreys and Charles Hollars on the committee. Donations may be earmarked for specific items or given to be used at the board’s discretion, with plaques planned for designated equipment. The project will add a complete surgical unit, new nursery and delivery facilities, expanded wards, and 32 more beds, raising total beds to 32 and hospital value to about $481,334.19. Federal funds require matching dollars, and the drive seeks to secure ongoing operations and credit standing after completion.
