Robert B Green Hospital Gains $210000 Federal Aid
The Texas state board of health declared the Robert B. Green hospital in San Antonio eligible for an extra 210000 in federal funds after a new matching formula increased Texas hospital construction funds to 50 percent of total cost. Previously only 331.3 percent of the cost was funded, leaving a 420000 federal allotment on a 1260000 project. The updated policy makes the hospital eligible for 630000, half the total cost.
