COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION
City Hall

February 22, 1967

Manager, Wesley Woods Health Center
1825 Clifton Road, N. &.
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Sir:

At the public hearing held by the new Community Relations Commission of
the city of Atlanta, the matter of admittance of Negroes to Nursing Hones
in the area was brought before the Commission. Mrs. A. J. Dempsey, 1495
Mozley Dr., S. W., reported the following:

I called to Wesley Woods where I understand Bishop Harris was
admitted before his death. I did not pursue admission at
Wesley Woods where they, too, indicated a long waiting list.

We will appreciate information from you about the number of Negroes who
have applied to the Wesley Woods Health Center, the number who have been
admitted, the average time between being placed on a list and being
admitted.

Sineerely,

‘Be

(Mrs.) Bliza Paschall
