Answers Woodward Demands More Diphtheria Rooms at Garfield Annex
Joseph K. McCammon, president of Garfield Memorial Hospital’s board, appeals to District Commissioners over Woodward’s charges about isolating ward treatment. He urges three or four private diphtheria rooms and notes the Daisy Chain funded wings to nearly double capacity for minor contagious diseases. He argues the arrangement with District officials and Daisy Chain was intended to keep space for pay patients with scarlet fever or diphtheria and asks the health department to hold press accusations until officials can respond.
