Health planning problems studied at North Central Texas Council
The North Central Texas Council of Governments Executive Board reviewed regional health planning issues tied to proposed facilities including South Arlington Hospital and Apple Tree and Manor Care nursing homes in Richardson. With Gov Briscoe not renewing HEW contracts, approval for Medicare and Medicaid payments may no longer be required, prompting a flood of new facility construction and rising costs. The board seeks HEW guidance while approving grants for mental health training, manpower planning, and criminal justice research to support local services.
