$150,000 Annex Planned
For St. Luke’s Hospital
By Graves Taylor.
Announcement was made this
morning that plans are under
way for a $150,000 addition to St.
Luke’s Hospital, Tryon.
C. D; Stevens, chairman of the
board of trustees of the hospital,
announced that the decision to pro-,
ceed with the program had been
made following receipt of word
from the North Carolina State
Medical Care Commission that
funds for a major portion of the
expansion would be allotted to St.
Luke’s. Funds from the NCSHCC
are made available under a “match
ing program” in which the hos
pital will bear a portion of the
costs of the program. The NC
SMCC will allot $108,000 to the
program while St. Luke’s Hospital
will pay $42,000.
The decision to proceed with
the new construction, program
came as the result of a survey to
determine future needs of the com
munity, according to the board of
trustees. The survey has been made
over a period of the past three
years and included long and in
tensive study1 of the needs for hos
pital care to persons living, work
ing or visiting in this area.
It was announced that the St.
Lukets construction program will
include a new and badly needed
building, modernization of exist
ing facilities and other improve
ments long needed to better serve
the community.
The new program will make pos
sible the expansion of the number
of beds available to patients at the
hospital, it, was stated. The present
total of 30 beds will be increased
to 45, according to present plans.
