Hospital Administrator
Reports to Chamber On
Costs of Operation
Robert Reed, administrator of
the MMM Hospital, presented a
comprehensive report on the
functioning of this institution
during the past year, at the NWA
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Monday. He stated that the oper
ting expense for the past year has
been about $200,000 and the in
come was about the same with
half of it coming from local
sources, a quarter from the Alas
ka Native Service, and a quarter
from the Women’s Division of
Christian Service.
He explained that the income
per patient day is about the same
as it is in West Coast hospitals,
which is approximately $40, and
expenses run about $50 per day,
per patient.
Reed recently made a trip to
Anchorage to confer with BIA of
ficials on the handling of more
native cases originating in this
area instead of their being ship
ped to Anchorage or Kotzebue,
because the transportation costs
more than offsets the increased
cost of care. He was unsuccessful
in his quest—thus the only pri
vately owned hospital to which
white people can be admitted, is
actually in competition with gov
ernment enterprises limited to the
care of native people—which in
turn is contrary to the concept of
equality or equal rights for Al
skan citizens.
Victor Urban, of the Depart
ment of Health and Welfare, was
also a visitor at the meeting and
gave some assurance of better
assistance to this area in connec
tion with juvenile problems.
Secretary of the Interior Fred
Seaton, who is in the state for the
dedication of the new railroad
terminal at Fairbanks, was to be
invited by the Chamber to make
a flying visit and confer on the
BIA vocational school for stu
dents of this area many of whom
were turned away at Mt. Edge
cumbe last year because there
was not enough room, and in
some cases because it was econ
omically impossible.
