The chairman’s committee took it from there, proposing two plans to furnish the room. one at a cost of $2,120 and other at a cost of $2,330. In speaking against the motion.

Grace Jackson, York Central Hospital initiates foundation By MILLIE STEWART Health needs in the York Central Hospital area are escalating and will continue to do so with the population forecast for this area. To meet this challenge, the Chairman of the Hospital Board of Trustees, Barry P. Hayes, announced this week the formation of the York Central Hospital Foundation, which will become the fund raising arm of the hospital. It brings together all hospital campaigns and fundlgaisin activities in a unified e fort. Grants for the con- struction and equipment came from the three levels of government. Even in those days. grants were not suf- ficient, and funds for equipment were raised through public appeal Y o r k C e n t r a 1 Hospital, at its inception in 1963 with 126 beds. was considered adequate at the time to handle the needs of a population of 19,000 people in the Rich- mond Hill area. The hospital was forced to expand in the early 70‘s to accommodate a gro- wing community of nearly, 70,000 people. In 1974. the Langstaff Wing, with a bed capacity of 288, was opened. A few dedicated people and a hard working hospital auxiliary brought in the necessary dollars through public appeal. 7 Equipment had to be updated to move with the times, and once again more money was needed. Now in 1977, with the population of the Southern York Region nearing 100,000, the hospital is preparing for more expansion. In April, the Ontario Government granted a charter to the newly formed York Central Hospital Foundation. The foundation has been given the authority to bank, invest and dispense all donated funds for York Central Hospital. These funds are en- tirely separate from the operating expenses of the hospital which are paid by the Ministry of Health These donéted funds BLACK The Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce BOX 155 3841961 !MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW!
