Plan to share free emergency hospital work among city institutions
John J. Edson, president of the Board of Charities, urges dividing emergency hospital work among Georgetown University Hospital and George Washington University Hospital instead of building a new government hospital. The board argues contracts with established institutions would cut costs and speed treatment, with a meeting next week to consider the proposal amid ongoing talks in Congress and input from leading physicians.
