You may need to gradually dilute the bottle contents until the water is offered. 2) Don't let your baby sleep all night at the breast. 3) Avoid pop, Kool Aid, and other sweet drinks-in a bottle or a cup.

Our community is very appreciative and proud of this high technological advanced facility. Unfortunately we are plagued by a severe physician shortage. Many rural communities are suffering from this problem and Warm Springs is no exception. The direct impact from this shortage is longer waiting times and a loss of continuity of care. Our patients like to see the same doctor when they come to the clinic, and we want them too, unfortunately we only have two permanent physicians to serve approximately 5,000 people. This has placed severe demands on our two permanent physicians, Dr. Manning and Dr. Creelman. We are three physicians, or physician extenders, short of where we want to be. When Dr. Bamctt transferred to the Puvallun Tribal Health Center in July of last year and two physicians, a husband and wife team) withdrew their applications due to health reasons we were faced with a severe shortage of providers. We have hired part-time physicians to fill the caps. and although they do us a good service, we lose continuity. This results in longerexam times because the relief physicians must take time to become familiar with each patient's medical history by thoroughly reviewing the patient's medical chart To correct our long term shortage problem, we are actively recruiting physicians. We are recruiting both within the Indian Health Service and from the private sector. Good Family Practice Physicians are in high demand and we are competing with other rural areas throughout the country. We are in the process of hiring one physician who will come in August of 1994. Dr. Miles Rudd is finishing his Family Practice Residency at Self Memorial Hospital in Greenwood, South Carolina and we look forward to his arrival. The week of January 16, 1994 we interviewed a Nurse Practitioner and we have an additional female physician candidate coming for an interview in February. The Health Center is very concerned about our physician shortage and we are requesting the community's continued patience in this area. We are well aware of the community concerns and we are working hard to correct this problem. The Health and Wellness Center is also working on patient flow problems in the New facility. We are making progress but we realize some confusion is still occurring. More newspaper and radio news releases are planned to keep the community informed on our changes. On February 9, 1994 at 6:00 p.m. the Health and Wellness Center is v pAXT KEEPOuf X V! of REACH N CHIU)REN Community forum February 9, at the Community Center, 6:00 p.m. sponsoring a community forum at the Community Center. Our staff will be there to inform the community on how to best utilize our services and to respond to community concerns. We will run the forum from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and our purpose is to work with the community to resolve issues. By working together and taking the communities recommendations to heart we hope to improve our services. Once we have our full compliment of physicians staff we can provide better continuity of care and expand our clinic hours of operation. Questions and answers from the Pharmacy Q. Why is the entrance to the pharmacy behind closed doors? A. Your health care is a very private matter between you and your health care provider. Since pharmacy is part of your health care, we planned the pharmacy patient rooms to be a private patient area in which confidential things can be discussed between you and pharmacist. In order not to interrupt the flow of patients through the pharmacy, we have two rooms in which to serve you. Q. Can I talk with a pharmacist even though my name has not been called to enter one of the two pharmacy patient rooms? A. Yes. The rooms were created to give our patients a private area in which to discuss their medications and their concerns. They were not created to keep patients out of the pharmacy. We encourage all patients that wish to speak to us to feel free to enter an empty pharmacy room, step up to the window, and ask their questions to a pharmacist Q. Why do we now cany our charts when we never carried them in the old clinic? A. It is much faster for yon to carry your own chart that wait for a clinic staff member to find a slopping point in their tasks and carry the chart for you. However, for those patients that are unable to carry their charts, clinic staff members will be very glad to carry the chart for you, Q. The window inside the pharmacy patient room is covered by a Plexiglass shield. Even though it has been designed to allow people to talk through it, it looks impersonal Why is it there A. The counting machines and label printers are very noisy. We placed the shield over the window to keep the noise from entering the pharmacy patient rooms. The emphasis upon our pharmacy program is to provide privacy in our pnarmacy paueni rooms, uwer man for brief encounters, we wish to visit with you inside these rooms. Q. What is the purpose of the Chart Drop in the main reception room? A. Our plan was to make your trip through the pharmacy as fast as possible. Your chart slides directly into the main working area of the pharmacy. This allows our staff to spend as little tune as possible in beginning to prepare your medication order and spend more time talking with you in the pharmacy patient rooms after we call your name. Q. What is the routine for getting prescription ruled? A. 1) Drop your chart into the Chart Drop. 2) Have a seat (If you choose, you may return later to pick up the medicine.) 3) After we prepare your medications, we will call your name over the intercom and advise you to come into either Pharmacy Room 101 or Pharmacy Room 107. 4) A pharmacist will visit with you about your medications. We will be answering more questions in the very near future.
