The group is charged with taking More than $48,000 from Bank executive Allison Kilgore while his family was held hostage at gunpoint. 3 head nuclear missiles in place will Institute Rev. Becker As Parish Rector a this has probably been one of the most informative meetings we have Ever had at Mhz Quot was the remark made by representative Elmer Denherder chairman of the legislative budget and financial control committee As the group concluded their annual meeting in it. Pleasant wednesday. At the request of the committee the Day began at 9 . With a tour of Hospital facilities and first hand observation of patient care. The tour was followed by presentations of the various programs by Hospital staff which stimulated a very Lively discussion Between legislators and staff members. A presentation by or. Walter Fox superintendent and area director of mental health on a facts and figures of your Hospital Quot emphasized the a a crisis which the Hospital now faces in the Over rising admission of the adolescent patient. Too a the crisis predicted two years ago Quot said or. Fox a has now hit us. Approximately three weeks ago the adolescent unit population reached a total of 46 inpatients. It was at this Point that we realized we were not staffed sufficiently to Cope with a population of this size. There have been 62 admissions to the unit in the past six months and already to admissions this month. Today legislators you have seen the results of attempting to treat 46 youngsters on a budget that is not even sufficient for 25. We Are now attempting to Cut population by placing these youngsters in other settings today our adolescent population is 29. In september 1968, we submitted a plan for a program for 60 inpatient teenagers. We realized budget limitation and later reduced our request to a program for 25 youngsters in Money an expenditure increase of 10%. To the people of Southeast Iowa this would mean an increase of Only 97 cents per year per person for the Over 700,000 persons in our 24 county area. Both of these requests were denied in 1968, and yet the demand for services for the disturbed teenager has doubled. If this minimum adolescent program is not funded the flood of demand will drown All Hope for any treatment program for adolescents. The Little we Are doing now will collapse and treatment will give place to nothing More than diagnosis and too other pertinent facts and figures covered by or. Fox were a comparison of the population trends of the areas served by the four mental health institutes and a comparison of Iowa a percent of mental health dollars spent for each area of Iowa. Or. Fox pointed out that this Hospital received Only 22.8% of state appropriations designated for mental health to serve 25.7 percent of the states population. A your current budget is the lowest of the four mental health institutes yet the Southeast area this Hospital serves is second in total population Quot concluded or. Fox. The afternoon session consisted of presentations by other members of the staff including a report by mrs. Linda Scalf Mhz Pha Mist on a program entitled a the medication education program for patients a. This particular program was developed by mrs.
