Hospital Faces Charity Patient Limit With $1000 Aid
Winchester Memorial Hospital warns charity care cannot exceed a $1000 annual appropriation. Dr Hutter H McGuire, hospital president and council member, says without a larger endowment or funds the hospital will admit only a limited number of charity patients at $2 per day until the grant is used. The council approved a $200 increase, but officials say overall city budgeting prevents larger increases. The hospital will continue charity care until the new funds run out.
