NOTES RE HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (For information only) HARRY JENSEN - In order to obtain Hill -Burton funds there can only be one hospital facili in the city. New hospital is badly needed. Present facilities and equipment are fully paid - no indebtedness; approximately $50,000accounts receivable, $10,000 in cash, plus equipment. Would suggest using existing hospital as a nursing home for those requiring more than Burns -Manor care. Have taken up with attorneys the revising of by-laws so that they can have legal authority to dispose of property on behalf of a non-profit organization. ATTORNEY SCHANTZEN - The law states a city can accept hospital and property and assets. City could then condemn property for expanding facilities at the present site. DR. HUEBERT - Hill -Burton provides about 40% of funds necessary. They set the plans, now talking about 45 beds, which would be adequate for immediate future, but need expansion if Hutchinson continues to grow at'expected rate. 1-1/2 million dollars. DR. PETERSON - Does not feel present location is good for hospital expansion. DR. BRETZKE - Thinks present location is fine. Intensive care unit in present facilities in connection with hospital very good idea. GENERAL REMARKS Interest rates would be more advantageous to the city than to a private hospital.
