Lack of help may force hospital closing

Unless immediate volunteer workers are obtained the possibility is that the Phillips County Hospital will close after July 1. At the present time, an average of 15 to 18 patients are cared for daily at the hospital.

Mrs. Edna Raymond, who has operated the hospital for the past year under contract, states she is short of all types of help. She needs assistance in the kitchen, laundry, and on the floor. Her contract expires June 1 and if she doesn't obtain more help she says she will not be able to continue beyond that point. Persons who are interested in this type of volunteer work might leave their names at the Phillips County News.
