New Agreement at Elizabeth City Hospital, April 26, 1924

New Agreement About Hospital. . . Arrangement Made with Dr. Saliba Whereby He Assumes Business but Not Professional Management

The directors of the Chamber of Commerce, who for a number of years now have been the directors of the Elizabeth City Community Hospital, have reached an understanding with Dr. John Saliba, owner of the hospital property, whereby the directors surrender the business management of the hospital to Dr. Saliba.

This arrangement has been reached on the basis of an understanding that Dr. Saliba, while assuming responsibility for the business mange of the institution, will continue to conduct it as a community institution open to allo reputable physicians and surgeons on equal terms with himself.

This new arrangement is to become effective on June 1 and is to continue in force for a period of three years. Dr. Saliba is allowing the present management to operate through May rent free, while he is preparing to take over the management.

The hope is expressed by the directors of the hospital that the new arrangement will meet with the general approval of the physicians of the city and of the public and that the hospital will enter upon a period of enlarged usefulness.
