Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 14, 1930, p. 1. HOSPITAL ADDITION IS PLAN OF WOMEN Local Council Would Double Present Capacity A move to establish an addition to the Bloomington Hospital was begun this week by the Local Council of Women when official action was taken instructing the hospital board to investigate the cost of a 10- to 20-room addition. A 20-room addition with accompanying wards, surgical and other departments, would nearly double the present capacity of the hospital. The Bloomington Hospital has been operating under difficult, crowded conditions for several years with growing demands each month for its services. The hospital is supported entirely by its own income, money raised by the Local Council and $3,000 contributed annually by both the city and the county.
