HOSPITAL AFFILIATION AGREEMENT, COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, MEDICAL CENTER (13) On July 23, 1969, the Board of Trustees authorized the Dean (now Executive Dean) of the College of Medicine to proceed with affiliation negotiations with six hospitals in the Chicago metropolitan area — namely, Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Lutheran General Hospital, Mercy Hospital and Mercy Orphan Asylum, Louis A. Weiss Memorial Hospital, Ravenswood Hospital, and MacNeal Memorial Hospital. T h e discussions have resulted in a proposed agreement. (The proposed agreement is filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.) The Executive Dean of the College of Medicine, the Chancellor at the Medical Center campus, and the Executive Vice President and Provost recommend that authorization be granted to execute the agreement. The Board of Higher Education, in its report Education in the Health Fields for State of Illinois, recommends that the University of Illinois College of Medicine expand its program of medical education by use of existing clinical facilities in regions throughout the state of Illinois. Execution of an affiliation agreement with the six hospitals listed above is one step in the implementation of the plan to expand medical education opportunities within the University of Illinois College of Medicine. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d . ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL, RESEARCH, AND RESIDENTIAL CENTER FOR BRAIN-DAMAGED PERSONS BY ILLINOIS NEW HOPE F O U N D A T I O N , URBANA (14) The Board of Directors of Illinois New Hope Foundation was established and authorized by the executive committee of United Cerebral Palsy of Illinois to plan for the establishment of a comprehensive educational, research, and residential center for the care, study, and treatment of brain-injured people of all ages. The state of Illinois presently does not have a facility of this type, even though statistics indicate that approximately 5,000 families in central Illinois alone have children with brain injuries. After a long study of possible sites for the location of the proposed center, the Board has recommended the selection of the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign as their unanimous choice for location of the center. This choice was based upon a combination of skilled university personnel available and interested in the problems of brain-damaged persons, plus the existence of the Adler Zone Center and Children's Research Center, facilities already engaged in closely related studies. T h e Departments of Special Education, Physical Education for Men, Physical Education for Women, and Recreation, as well as the Children's Research Center and the Adler Zone Center, have expressed interest and enthusiasm for the educational and research potential of interacting with such a facility. It is expected that a system of cross-appointments will be used to formalize interaction between the Center and interested university departments. Preliminary plans call for the construction of an initial phase of approximately 60,000 square feet which would house and provide facilities for 300 patients. The architect's preliminary estimate of cost for the facility is $2,100,000. It is hoped that the facility would eventually be expanded to provide space for 500 patients.
