A look back: November 20, 1971
The board of trustees of the Palmerton Hospital, at its monthly meeting, voted to reduce the mortgage indebtedness by an additional $50,000.
Contributions from the Palmerton Hospital Festival Corporation and the Palmerton Hospital Authority made this possible.
This amount is above the required rate of payment on the principal of the mortgage.
The overall indebtedness has been reduced from a little over $800,000 to approximately $700,000.
The support of these organizations and others is important to the welfare of the hospital and greatly appreciated, trustees noted.
