Spilyay I'riawa Mishk'aau (Spilyay asks "What's Up?") What are your feelings regarding St. Charles Hospital managing Mt. Veiw Hospital? "V 1 Mike Collins, "St. Charles man aging Mt. View Hospital appears to be a very strategic move by Mt. View Hospital Board of Director's. It is my opinion that Mt. View Hospital made this decision knowing what a good relationship that the community ' of Warm Springs shares with St. Charles. I Of course there is a little more to do on Mt. Views Hospital part. Not only does the managing of Mt. View Hospital's books need assistance but also the attitudes of some of the personnel need to be brought up with the caring and understanding that the staff at St. Charles continually give to all of their patients. Hopefully this strategic move will bring the positive and caring attitude of St. Charles with it." vV 1 if H W&fe Louella Jackson, "Looks like Madras Mt. Vie w Hospital are unable to handle us Indians very well. Seems like they are prejudiced toward us or something. Because of their good treatment, I would prefer to go to all the way to St. Charles Hospital rather than going to Mt. View Hospital. I was under the impression that all hospitals were supposed to care for people and not pretend they do." George Clements Sr., "Well, we've been going to St. Charles for years now and as far as I'm concerned they've always treated our people fair with all our medical situations. My mother-in-law and my daughter were both patients at St. Charles Hospital once and they took really good care of them. I feel very com fortable knowing that Mt. View Hospital will be managed by St. Charles. St. Charles has all my confidence and support because I feel we will be in better care with them than what we were before. Mt. View Hospital needs to re member that this reservation is a lot of support to their hospital in Madras with all the Monies Warm Springs people spend at their facilities to receive care there." Dan Brisbois, Sr., "I wished it would have happened twenty years ago. I don't agree how Mt. View Hospital is run because they are way out of line with their billing and it's just not a decent run Hospital. They let doctors in there who really know nothing about what they're doing. I lost my wife when she went to Mt. View Hospital with a massive heart attack and here they were doctoring her for pneumonia for three days until she passed on. What kind of management is that? I believe that if St. Charles runs Mt. View Hospital, we will see a 100 improvement and maybe even more." it " j ; f :W7 w ft " ( I Sue Matters, "Although I've had limited experiences with hospitals in general, in recent years, I would say it's probably good because I hear good things about St. Charles Hos pital and I've heard less good things about Mt. View Hospital. Soperhaps it would be a change for the better." Mark Matthews, "The Mt. View Hospital Board of Director's made a good choice in selecting the St. Charles organization to take over the management of the Madras hospital. I think this benefits the tribal mem bers, who, for many years have trusted and received, for the most part, good medical care by the St. Charles Hospital, and its doctors and medical staff. St Charles manage ment should be a lot better than some management company on the East Coast, or in Seattle or Portland be cause they are more familiar with caring for our local tribal people. I have been told that St. Charles sets up a special room for Washut and other Indian services or prayer meetings when there are tribal members at St. Charles. This shows a greater sensitivity and understand ing for the needs of the tribal mem bers. Another positive step made by Mt. View was appointing tribal member Dean Seyier to serve on the Mountain View Hospital Board of Directors." Mia tete j , v. V Judy Kalama, "I trust St. Charles more than I trust Mt. View Hospital. I feel that Mt. View doesn't care about the Warm Springs Tribes or its members as much as St. Charles has. I feel Mt. View Hospital will treat us better if it's run by St Charles. I went to Mt. View before and I felt they released me too early from my sur gery. I felt like a rush job and that they didn't want me there. At St. Charles, they didn't seemed so dis criminating about Warm Springs people as Mt. View did. I'm hoping the change w ill bring better treatment both medically and personally than w hat it's been in the past." Arlita Rhoan, "Well, I have mixed feelings about it. It doesn't matter who would be responsible in running the accounting part of the hospital because I think there is some kind of jeopardy in the way this hospital operates. I think when it comes to the Indian people, outsiders know we are covered by health in surance and or by Indian health ser vices through the Government. Having all this assistance for our people seems to be kind of inviting to the outside businesses that has to give service to our people and so they charge us more money when they shouldn't I think Mt. View needs to work on their honesty, in tegrity and their attitudes. I think by doing that we can service one another more appropriately and the persons working as doctor's or as a profes sional person in health, can earn their money in a fair way." I k - an
