FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator

DATE: May 6 , 1985 County
SUBJECT: Cost of Changing the Name of the County Hospital
v
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Acknowledge receipt of this report.
2. If the Board wishes to change the name of the County
Hospital to the Edwin Merrithew Memorial Hospital:
A. Authorize the Health Services Director to proceed with
ordering an appropriate sign for the Hospital and other '
related changes in stationery, business cards , etc.
B. Authorize the Health Services Director, in cooperation
with the Chairwoman, to select a date for and plan an
appropriate dedication ceremony.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost for an appropriate sign over the entrance to the
Hospital depends on what finish is selected, but is minimal.
Costs for new stationery would be minimal since stocks are low
and can be phased in with no loss of existing stock. Reprinting
of business cards is likewise minimal. Brochures for the
obstetrics program were recently printed at a cost of
$4000-$5000. If there were a major marketing effort for this
program, it would probably be wise to reprint the brochures.
Printing of other brochures is being held pending the Board' s
decision. Health Plan brochures will be exhausted in six months
and can be reprinted then at no additional cost.
BACKGROUND:
On March 26, the Board agreed "in principle" to change the name
of the County Hospital to the Edwin Merrithew Memorial Hospital.
Before making the final decision to proceed with the change, the,-'
Board asked for information on the cost of new signs, stationery,
business cards, brochures, etc. The Health Services Director has
reported that conversion costs will be fairly minimal.
