Resolution pleads to keep Galen State Hospital open
A Montana legislator from Butte will introduce a resolution asking the State Board of Institutions to keep Galen State Hospital functioning as a pulmonary disease hospital and to treat patients for other state institutions. Rep. Ray J. Wayrynen leads the push with support from Silver Bow and Deer Lodge delegations. The 56 year old facility, originally for tuberculosis and silicosis, faces no firm decision yet. The resolution cites 1968 figures of 128 TB cases and 276 non TB patients, notes Medicare hardships, cites per diem costs of 21.92 versus 67 at private hospitals, and argues Galen is the only state facility with accredited hospital care for Warm Springs, Deer Lodge Prison, and other pulmonary patients.
