Oran Groups Plan Community Hospital Initiative

Mayor Abraham Hirschowitz announced a plan to establish a 10 bed community hospital in Oran. He said local clubs and service groups would be asked to finance the purchase of a large home to be converted into the facility and two young doctors would be invited to lease or buy in later. Dr. J. A. Cline, Oran’s only physician, supports the plan and may turn his practice over if the hospital is built. If Dr. Cline retires without attracting another physician, Oran would be left without a medical doctor.
