Safer Holiday Aims for State Paid Tuberculosis Beds
The Beckley Chamber of Commerce urged the next legislature to pass a bill making all beds in tuberculosis sanitariums paid by the state. Frances Coleman of the Raleigh County Tuberculosis and Health Association said current funding covers only part of costs and delays in approval can be fatal for patients awaiting admission. The measure would allow tubercular people to enter sanitariums immediately at no cost.
