Rusk Hospital debate over six million dollar plan
A letter from a local columnist rebuts Houston Post's Feb 28 feature on Rusk State Hospital. The writer criticizes the six million dollar relocation proposal and argues to expand existing facilities with trained staff under Dr. Chas. Wo Castner rather than relocate to Houston. The piece defends rehabilitation and cautions against using private psychiatrists while stressing the hospital’s progress and staff dedication.
