Herald of May 8, 1969

Nason Hospital increased its room rates by $3 a day, effective May1. This put the cost of a day in the hospital at $29 for a bed in a four-bed room and $30 for a two-bed room. nason Hospital calls both the four-bed and the two-bed rooms semiprivate. The rates for a private room went up $5 from $33 to $38 a day, but at this time it is just a paper increase because the hospital is too crowded to be able to offer any private room. The rate hike at Nason follows a new round of room rate increases in other hospitals in the area during the past six months.
