The Ames City Council
City of Ames
Ames, IA 50010
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Mary Greeley Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees is proposing to change the
name of the hospital to Mary Greeley Medical Center to more accurately reflect
its status as a secondary referral center serving many central Iowa counties.
There appears to be no legal restriction that would prevent this action. Captain
Greeley' s gift to the city indicated the hospital 's name shall be Mary Greeley
Hospital and the Board, after consulting with legal counsel , feel the term Medical
Center is adequately synonymous with the word Hospital to be in compliance with
Captain Greeley's wishes.
We, therefore, are requesting the City Council to take action to amend the Ames
Municipal Code, particularly Chapter 12, to make this change possible. Thank you
for your favorable consideration.
Sincerely,
Keith McRoberts
Chairman, Board of Trustees
