MMM HOSPITAL GETS $11,300 GRANT
The Ford Foundation has announced that the
Maynard - MacDougall Memorial Hospital here has
been offered a grant of $11,300 as its share of the
$310,000 being given to 12 hospitals in Alaska.
This good fortune stems from the' reports of the
American Hospital Association on hospitals and it will
be remembered that Nome was given considerable
publicitv for having the first cne-doctor hospital to be
fully accredited by the association. This honor was
realized through the efforts of Dr. Fred Langsam, our
only physician.
The Ford Foundation is giving in grants to 3,500
hospitals, a total of $200,000,000, which is considered
to be one of the largest grants ever to be made, and
Nome is most fortunate that its hospital is to be in
cluded. The money is intended to be used to improve
or extend present services.
Starting with this issue of the Nugget there will
be published news notes from the hospital from time
to time so that the public may know more about our
hospital which is maintained by the Women’s Division
of Christian Service of the Board of Missions of the
Methodist Church.
