Spilyay Tymoo, Warm
IHS expansion
More space needed, as client list grows
The Warm Springs Indian
Health Service has been planning
to expand the existing building
to accommodate the patients
being served.
Russ Alger, IHS director,
said, "The clinic served 29,000
clients the first year when they
moved to the new building in
1993.
But now the clinic is serving
approximately 50,000 clients per
year."
He also said they are looking
at new ways to accommodate
the patients and cut down the
waiting period.
Possible ways to accomplish
this include new technology,
such as a computerized pill
counter in the pharmacy area.
This should shorten the wait
period tremendously.
The 5,260-square-foot
planned expansion area will
house 12 more examination
rooms, and provide extra space
for other departments that are
overcrowded.
Alger said the need exists for
more space because, along with

The doctors are sharing of

house. One of the plans is to
develop a family room next to
the urgent care room.
This would eliminate the fam
ily members waiting in the hall
way as the patient is being ex
amined in the urgent care room.
The addition will be located
on the empty ground behind the
existing reception area.
The buildings will be con
nected through one or more
corridors.
The estimated cost is $1.5 mil

Health Services expansion is
waiting the final choice of the
selected architects building plans.
After the selection, construc

The clinic expansion will be
the first since it opened its door
