Concerns Regarding Proposed Hospital Construction in Tulsa

The letter is in response to a concern about the proposed health facility addition to Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. The writer explains that any health facility costing over $100,000 or adding hospital beds must be approved by government agencies at the state and federal levels. The process involves filing a letter of intent, conducting public hearings, and receiving approval from the Health Planning Commission. The writer reassures the recipient that federal law requires strict oversight of health facility expansion. The recipient is urged to attend the public hearing and voice their opinions. Another letter expresses objections to the proposed hospital, stating that it jeopardizes the operation of existing hospitals and exacerbates the surplus of hospital beds in the area.
