By SARA KEMPIN Staff Reporter
The proposed $5 student health fee increase approved by the Student Senate Wednesday night will enable Watkins Hospital to hire three additional doctors and improve service to patients, the director of the hospital said yesterday.
If the KU administration and the Board of Regents approve the increase, the health fee, which is now $51, will increase to $66.
JAMES STROB1, acting director of the hospital, said that the fee increase, which would generate an additional $500,000 in revenue to improve the efficiency of the hospital.

The money from the increase would go to pay the salaries of three new doctors, he said, who will make about $45,000 to $50,000 a year.
Strobl said that two years ago the hospital had 11 doctors, but since then

Strobl said that in addition to instituting the fee increase, the hospital would consider increasing lab and pharmacy charges.
The hospital now charges patients for the services, he said, but the charges were less.
"Later this spring we will be looking into increasing the charges," he said.
