Identifier: CAC_CC_109_5_32_21_0025

Scope and Contents

The letter is a response to a query about the Oral Roberts University City of Faith. It explains that the request for a certificate of need for the hospital was initially denied by the local planning agency, but the decision was appealed and a certificate was granted for a hospital with fewer beds. However, there is a court suit challenging the states approval of the hospitals request. The letter assures that the rights of Medicare and Medicaid patients will be protected.
