Summary

The January 1997 Beaver Beacon reports Rural Health Center improvements including a new roof and siding, better attic and wall insulation, soundproofed offices and exam rooms, and patient-room sinks, cupboards, and dressing areas. Remaining grant funds were directed toward business software, a computer and Internet connection for care provider Penny Kiss, and relief staffing.

Evidence limits

This is a contemporary Center report, not a grant closeout, construction inspection, or staffing record.
