"Hospital to be Discussed." The Clatskanie Chief (Clatskanie, Columbia County, Oregon), Friday, 18 Jan 1952. p. 1. [Google News]
"A community meeting to discuss hospital needs in this area and Inter-Community Memorial Hospital Association's program for a new non-profit medical center designed to meet these needs has been called in Clatskanie for Tuesday, January 22, under the sponsorship of the Clatskanie Kiwanis club.
Dinner were be served at 6:30 p.m., in the Odd Fellow hall and the program will follow at 7:15 p.m. The public is invited to attend the program.
A 16-minute motion picture with sound, "You're the Doctor," will be shown, depicting the operation of a modern Grade A hospital. This movie was produced by the American Hospital Association and is authentic in all its details.
Inter-Community Memorial Hospital Association's program for a new and modern medical center to serve the sick and injured of this entire area will be presented by a member of the Hospital Campaign Speakers' Bureau.
The new medical center will be a non-profit community owned and controlled institution. Main unit of the center will be the proposed Inter-Community Memorial hospital with facilities for 100 patients. It will be built on the 13 1/2 acre site of Cowlitz General Hospital in Longview, and when the new hospital is completed, the present Cowlitz General hospital will be a supplementary unit of the medical center. Cowlitz General hospital, which is being donated to the community by its doctor-owners, will be converted to the uses for which it will be best suited, such as a modern pediatrics department, a nursing home for the chronically ill, and isolations wards.
Arrangements for the Clatskanie meeting are in charge of Harvey Broucher, Kiwanis club president, and Dr. Clyde H. DuVall, Jr."
