Nutritionist encourages preventative health care
With the retirement of
P.H.S. Nutritionist Chin Ye
Lee last year, clinic personnel
have carried on her well-
organ ized p ro g ram s and
projects with little trouble.
However, the vacancy did leave
a space that need filling badly.
Karen Gordon, a 1969
graduate of Kansas State
University, was recently hired
to fill that space. She sees little'
need to change the existing
programs but she has a few
ideas of her own. A weight loss
program and group meeting
concerning nutrition are just
two projects she has in mind.
Karen is continuing the
successful diabetic, pre-natal
and well-child clinics as Well as
counseling on a one-to-one
basis. Most of her counseling is
done with patients who are
either doctor or self-referred.
Before obtaining her masters
degree from Tulane University
in Pubic Health Nutrition
earlier this year, Karen got her
first taste of reservation life
while working with the Navajos
in Tuba City, Arizona as a
dietician in the hospital there.
Karen has noted similar health
and nutrition problems among
the people of the two
reservations. She promotes and
encourages good health and
preventative care.
Karen and her husband Dale
like Warm Springs and prefer
the smallness of this area over
the Navajo reservation. “Warm
Springs is small so 1 can get to
know the people better. It was
so large on the Navajo
reservation,” says Karen.

The new nutritionist has
many healthful ideas and
welcomes new clients. If you
have any questions call 553-
1196 or you can see her at the
P.H.S. clinic.
