We Need More Doctors for Washington County Hospital
A letter from the Medical Staff of Washington County Hospital urges rapid action to build a new county hospital and attract more doctors. With only 11 local physicians, plus two adjacent practitioners on staff, the group argues for a modern facility to draw young physicians and ensure future care. Dr Scanlon of Iowa City is cited in support, and the staff unanimously endorses the proposal for a new hospital building for the people and forthcoming doctors.
