Other Centers Planned

The New York Times - December 29, 1985
Mary Connelly and Alan Finder

State health officials said last week that they planned to create 10 to 15 hospital-based AIDS centers, most of them in New York City, to emphasize hospice care and home services rather than heroic measures and long hospital stays. New regulations, to be proposed to the State Hospital Review and Planning Council next month, would offer financial incentives to the hospitals and would allow terminally ill AIDS victims to die with as much dignity as possible. The council, an independent advisory body within the State Health Department, was expected to adopt the proposal.
