Washington County faces a growing hospital demand that outstrips the current facility. Admissions rose from 1,200 in 1959 to 1,600 in 1964, patient days up about 20 percent, and emergency visits nearly quadrupled from 230 to 953.

The county plans a decision next month on enlarging the Washington County Hospital for 1959–1968.
