Hospitals Pay Debate at Shenandoah Board Session
Shenandoah county supervisors debated hospitalization costs for indigents at Winchester and Harrisonburg hospitals. Doctors Crawford and Hopewell urged higher reimbursement percentages, noting Winchester officials would refuse care without better payment. Board members noted Winchester rates exceed Harrisonburg for similar services but affirmed Shenandoah patients receive satisfactory treatment. They considered welfare investigations to verify ability to pay, rejecting a fulltime welfare worker due to cost.
