50 YEARS AGO: It was announced that Modesto would not share in $41 million in state and federal funds that would have been allocated by the State Advisory Hospital Council. However, Merced General Hospital in Merced did receive $40,160 for one-third of the estimated cost of construction of a diagnostic and treatment center for the community. The allocation was expected to be matched by state funds. Modesto was asking for $3.9 million in matching state and federal funds for a 200-bed, $5.8 million hospital on Coffee Road by Stanislaus Memorial Hospital and $1.5 million in matching funds for a $2.1 million modernization program for Scenic General Hospital.
