BY: Mr. Cyril E. Miller
IN RE: NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HEALTH CENTER FACILITIES -- SOUTH OAKLAND ,
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the South Oakland Health Center was constructed by the Federal
Government in 1943 as "temporary construction" to serve an estimated population of
116,740 in a total public health program, and
WHEREAS, the South Oakland Health Center now serves a population of 336,327
(1960 Census) and It is anticipated that with the completion of proposed sewers in South
Oakland there will be a further tremendous growth In certain areas, and
WHEREAS, the Office of Hospital Survey and Construction in Lansing, Michigan,
has indicated that the Health Department could qualify for one-third of the total cost of
construction of a new building from federal matching funds, and
WHEREAS, the present Health Center has for some time past been inadequate to
meet the growing needs in this section of our County;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Health Committee recommends the
construction of adequate health facilities in the southern area of Oakland County and that
this matter be referred to the Buildings and Grounds Committee for further study and report.
