Hospital Plea Heard By Board In Frederick County
Frederick Memorial Hospital seeks a contractual arrangement with the county rather than an outright grant. Officials discussed last year’s 7 000 appropriation and sought 1 000 000 in improvements to expand obstetrics capacity by 50 percent. The board will consider transferring equipment from Emergency Hospital while debating legality of earmarked funding.
