THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL SCHOOL
Dr. Henry B. Mulholland '20
Assistant Dean of the Medical School
Our hospital was founded in 1901 with about 15 beds and
has grown to 498 beds and 59 bassinets. A recent hospital
survey indicated 199 general hospital beds were needed for this
area. Actually we need 750 in all, not including special beds...
But what are our specific needs? Service facilities, an
administration building, space for colored people, student facili-
ties, beds for undergraduate and post graduate teaching and re-

With the demand for free payment hospital insurance more
semi-private accommodations are needed. With 95 per cent of the
surgery done in the state in tuberculosis done in this institution,
we need increased special facilities, and. more psychiatric beds
including beds for acute alcoholism...
Space for chronically disabled and terminal cancer cases is
inadequate, as is space for contageous diseases. Special beds
are needed for pediatric cases...
The X-ray department needs a tremendous amount of expansion.
Medical records are separated over the hospital; the drug room
and pharmacy are inadequate as to space...
The out-patient department handles as many as 350 cases a
