INCREASES IN CHARGES FOR HOSPITAL CARE

The President reminded the Board of the policy of the University which called for setting the
rates for care at the University Hospital on the basis of cost. He regretfully announced that the
existing schedule of charges, which had not been changed for several years, was not sufficiently
high to support the cost of care now being given at the hospital. He stated that some increases
were therefore needed and that they should go into effect immediately since the policy is not to
charge a person, when the rates are raised, if he enters the hospital prior to the effective date of
the increase

Accordingly, the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the University Hospital be and it is hereby authorized, effective 16 April 1962, to make the following
increases in the charges for hospital care (1) an increase of $2.00 per day for hospital room
accommodations and nursery care, and (2) an increase of $3.00 per day in charges for the four large
Barringer private rooms on Davis II and III nursing units.
