2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2018 Local clinic has a lot of heart is the right thing to do,” Nairn said. The clinic participates in the Oregon Rural Prac- tice-based Research Network, an effort to improve rural health care. Janet Mossman, the clinic’s manager, said the group drills into Pacific Fam- ily’s practices to gauge how well they’re delivering care. The clinic was nominated by the network based on how well it did in promoting the heart health of patients. Pacific Family has seen more than 3,400 patients over the last two years, split evenly between the two physicians. The clinic has controlled blood pressure for more than 80 per- cent of them. Merrill and Nairn point to a focus on prevention. “When we see somebody who comes into the office, we look at all the factors that keep them healthy or might affect them and make them unhealthy,” Merrill said. “We try to mitigate all of those.” With two-thirds of Ameri- cans overweight or obese, the clinic focuses on promoting exercise and healthy living, while screening patients about potentially unhealthy behav- iors such as alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, Merrill said. “For primary doctors like Recognized for work to control blood pressure By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian Pacific Family Care, a pri- mary care clinic in Astoria, has been named one of the best in rural America at promoting heart health. The clinic, started in 2001 by Drs. Katherine Merrill and Angela Stock Nairn, was one of 18 in rural areas nation- wide honored this year for controlling blood pressure. The honor came from Million Hearts, an initiative started in 2012 by the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention and the Centers for Medi- care & Medicaid Services to nationally align efforts to pre- vent cardiovascular disease. Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases kill more than 800,000 Amer- icans each year. Nairn and Merrill, who wanted to be career primary care physicians since entering the field, said the award is the acknowledgment of using the best practices to help patients. “We just do what we know Crab season delayed on the Oregon Coast us, a screening health exam is how we often find things that can lead to problems later in life,” Nairn said. Matt Christensen, a patient of Nairn’s for the past two years, has had tightness in his chest for much of his life. While exercising at home in 2016, he felt a flutter in his chest. His wife, LaDessa, took him to an emergency room, where Christensen learned he had a heart attack. At only 37, he ended up with a stent in an artery of his heart to ensure healthy blood flow. “It was just like a perfect storm of a whole bunch of different things — a little bit genetics, a little diet, a lack of exercise, stress, sleep apnea,” he said. One of Nairn’s first actions was to cut down on some of the blood pressure medica- tions he was being prescribed, while also encouraging him to exercise 60 minutes a day, five days a week, Christensen said. The clinic also started giving Christensen and other patients blood pressure monitors to take home. With his first child on the way, Christensen said he is anxious about staying healthy. “Having confidence in my health care providers is every- thing, really,” he said. By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian The commercial Dunge- ness crab season will be delayed until mid-Decem- ber along the entire Oregon Coast as state testing shows crabs are too low in meat yield. The lucrative fishery tra- ditionally opens on Dec. 1, but has been delayed in recent years for a number of reasons. Last year, the season was delayed by the state twice because of low meat yield, but was then further delayed because of price negotiations and bad weather. This year, crab qual- ity testing in early Novem- ber showed crab in most test areas did not meet the crite- ria for a Dec. 1 opening. The delay will allow crab more time to fill with meat, state fishery managers said. A second round of testing will occur later this month or in early December. The results will determine if the fishery opens Dec. 16, or if it Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Crab pots stacked at the Warrenton Marina. should be further delayed or split into areas with different opening dates. Fishermen, cautiously optimistic for a Dec. 1 opener, have already been preparing gear as usual. For them, the delay means even more time before they see a paycheck. The fishery is Ore- gon’s most valuable. Last year, commercial fishermen landed 23.1 million pounds into Oregon — about 31 per- cent over the 10-year aver- age — and saw the highest ex-vessel value ever at $74 million. Another factor that has delayed past crab seasons — elevated levels of the marine toxin domoic acid — is behind current crab closures from Cape Blanco to the Cal- ifornia border. Where there are no health advisories, recreational har- vest of Dungeness crab will open in the ocean Dec. 1.
