Last Spring I asked for information about American International
Hospital.  At the time, our information was from a 1988 text on the
hospital and its work.  It mentioned organicly grown foods, that it
accepted medicare, and so on.  We were very excited about this and
other aspects of the program.  We made the mistake, however, of
believing the 1988 information.  We had talked a family member into
going, called the hospital to make arrangements and were told
bluntly and unfeeling that she was "too old--we don't take medicare
anymore."

Also, previous letters to the Am. Intl. Hospital about
accommodations for family members in the surrounding area went
unanswered.

Just thought some people on the HCAP-bulletin might be interested
in this information.
