McKinley Hospital drops newborn care unit plan
McKinley General Hospital canceled plans for an intensive care nursery for newborns after difficulty recruiting about 40 nurses and limited space. Public Health Service funding revived the project earlier, but the administration vetoed it due to staffing and space constraints. The proposed unit would have eased crowding at the Gallup center and served both community and PHS patients, with possible opening within months if funded.
