Menial Health Team
Visit Palmer Area
An open meeting to discuss
mental health problems in this
area, and Alaska in general, was
he’d on Tuesday evening of this
week. Three members of the
nine-member team of experts in
Alaska making a survey for the
U. S. Public Health Service dis
cussed various phases of mental
health with am interested group
of area residents.
Present at the hearing were
Dr. Robert T. Hewitt, chief of
the hospital consultation servic
es of the National Institute of
Mental Health; Mrs. Ruth Knee,
social worker with the team, and
Hecker Ragas administrative of
ficer for the Institute and the
survey team, and a large group
of interested residents.
Dr. Hewitt pointed out that
care of mental patients is uni
que in Alaska, in regards to com
munications and transportation.
He told the audience that at the
present time there are 89 Alas
kan individuals at Morningside
who are either now children, or
were children when entered. He
said that ordinarily two percent
of the children of an area are re
tarded but that only one-tenth of
one percent need institutional
care, others need special schools
closely coordinated with the de
partment of health and the edu
cation department. 1
He stated that the location of
the proposed mental hospital
will be decided by the Territor
ial Department of Health. He
pointed out that because the fed
eral government is going to
spend $6M> million, they will be
interested in how it is spent and
plans will have to have federal
approval.
He said at the present time
it costs about $70,000 a year for
transportation of patients from
Alaska to Morningside in Ore
gon. About 90 patients are ad
mitted a year from Alaska.
“Make your own local ideas
known to the Alaska Department
of Health”, Dr. Hewitt said.
Where they will decide the hos
pital will be located can not be
determined immediately. It will
probably hinge on medical con
sultants available in that area;
supporting services, personnel
available (he said one employee
to each patient), social work and
activities available for patients.
Dr Arthur Colberg, attending
the meeting, pointed out that the
Matanuska Valley has a good
water supply, beautiful scenery,
and a good source of food. James
Hurley and Richard Jones added
that there is a good supply of re
liable unskilled labor available in
a settled community with per
manent residents. Others pointed
out the proximity to the coal
fields, central location in the
heaviest populated section of
Alaska, and other favorable rea
sons why they felt the hospital
should be located within the area
ot Palmer.
Interested valley residents
plan to get together and formu
late what information they have
in regards to the availability of
land and other necessary facil
ities and send the information
to the Alaska Department of
Health asking that a mental hos
pital be placed in this area.
The survey group has held
similar hearings in Ketchikan,
Juneau, Sitka, Cordova, Valdez,
Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome,
Barrowr, Kodiak and Bethel to
determine what facilities will be
needed in Alaska under the new
mental health program.
Commitment procedures under
the new act must be set up by
the territorial legislature.
