Memorial Mission Rates Increase
Effective October l, 1980,
Memorial Mission Hospital in
creased room rates by approx
imately IS percent on an
overall basis, according to
Ralph E Jennings, Executive
Director. The most prevalent
private room rate went from
$87 per day to $99 per day. The
most prevalent semi-private
room rate of $80 per day in
creased to $95 per day.
Mr. Jennings cited salary
increases an dcosts associated
with the building program to
be among major reasons for
the increases.
Costs incurred with the
building program were includ
ed in the operating budget for
the coining fiscal year.
However, completion of the
construction is not scheduled
until August, 1961, at which
point new areas are expected
to begin generating revenues.
Inflation and federally man
dated minimum wage and
social security increases,
combined with the scarcity of
professionally qualified health
care personnel, have made a
significant impact on our
wage and salary program
Another factor considered is
the desire to have Memorial
Mission Hospital employees
paid comparable to other
employees in businesses in the
area, Jennings said.
Still another reason for in
creasing rates is the cost
which the hospital must bear
in caring for the medically in
digent. Even though the coun
ty has increased its appropria
tion, the cost to the hospital is
still significant.
