whose care is necessary in order to protect themselves or the public health
and safety; (2) persons who are most likely to be benefited thereby; (3) persons
shall next be admitted in the order in which their applications for admission
have been filed with the department; and (4) when cases are equally meritorious
in all other respects, an indigent person or a person from an indigent family
shall be given preference.
