Kay New Hospital
Board President
Clifton Kay, President ol
Kay Construction Company,
Inc., was elected president of
the Red River County Hospital
Board of Directors at a special
meeting of the Board on
Wednesday, August 15.
In accepting the office Mr.
Kay stated, “Our first job is to
build a new hospital for Red
River County. We have a site, a
long term, low interest loan
repayable from hospital in-
come, and we are making good
progress in our fund drive. This
doesn't mean we do not have
problems, but 1 am*'confident
we can solve the problems if
we unite our efforts to secure
the $550,000 needed in our
Development Fund. This is the
job at hand1. Until we have
$550,000 we have no assurance
of a hospital in the future."
Troy McLeod, former
President of the Hospital Board
of Directors resigned due to the
pressures of his business.
Earlier in the meeting.
Hospital Directors reviewed
drawings of the new hospital as
presented by Mr. Arioli, a
consultant with Hewitt and
Royer Architecta of Kansas
City. Mr. Ariloi said that the
staff physicians and the
hospital department heads had
studied the plans and changes
had been made to conform to
equipment and procedures.
Mr. Arioli explained “A
hospital is the most complicated
structure being built today. It
must comply with a series of
federal and state code regula-
tions. These requirements are
