Duane Houtz, president of Morton Plant Hospital, gave a progress report
and Glen Hubbard distributed a copy of the organizational structure'of Morton

graphic services; and the Health Ventures, providing laborator'y services.
Mr. Houtz presented a chart showing the historic development of the
hospital over the last four decades. In the 1970's, the expansion included the
Barnard Building increasing the bed capacity of the institution to 740 beds.
During the 19801s, expansion included the addition of twenty-four private rooms
to the Witt Building, an ambulatory surgery facility, the Lyke's Cancer Center
and the Adler Building for laboratory facilities. In response to a question,

been received for the past three years, he feels the capability of caring for
the patients is not as good as with newer facilities. He said the relocation
of the facility would cause the overlapping of the boundaries of Clearwater and
Belleair. The old Pinellas Lumber Company is currently being leased by Morton
Plant with a contract for purchase in 1992. Proposed for this property is a
warehouse, a remote dietary kitchen and parking spaces far employees. He said
the women's center should be completed within 22 months. He indicated the
hospital is facing problems due to AIDS and crack cocaine use.
Mr. Houtz showed a rendering of the nursing home which would became a
rea 1 i ty in approximate ly 24 months once the approva 1 s have been obta i ned. Zoni ng
variances are needed from the City of Belleair. He showed the five-year plan
which includes an expansion of the emergency department: renovation of the
Roebling Building: rehabilitation and nursing center; and the Lykes Cancer Center
expansion. He feels that 38 percent of all hospital care in North County will
be rendered by Morton Plant.
In response to a question, it was indicated Morton Plant is licensed for
740 beds. Concern was expressed regarding the number of vacant beds throughout
the County and it was indicated this was due to a decrease in the length of stay
of the patients and out-patient services.
Mr. Marquardt left the meeting at 4:55 P.M.
In response to a question, it was indicated $4-1/2 million has been spent
to upgrade Bay View Gardens which is presently 70 percent occupied with two
floors providing residents assisted 1 iving. As there is a current trend for more
nursing care, it is anticipated that Bay View will be converted to a fully
assisted liVing facility.
Discussion ensued regarding the rising costs of nursing homes. Medicare
has become a major concern with the federal government placing more restrictions
on institutions.
A concern was expressed regarding future financing, and it was indicated
the programs provided by the hospital need to be self-sustaining.
Mrs. Condon nominated C. J. Wollett as Chairman and George Bouse as
Vice-Chairman. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
The next meeting of the Authority was scheduled for April 18,1990, at 4:30
P.M.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 P.M.
