BROKEN APPOINTMENT POLICY:
The Tribal Health department has developed a
policy for dealing with broken appointments. This policy is
not meant to be a "punishment", but is meant to make the
clinic accessible to everyone. When an appointment is made
but not kept, valuable time is lost. This ti me could be utilized
to serve other tribal members. Please be aware that a broken
appointment is:
an appointment that has not been cancelled at least 24 hours
in advance;
failure to show up for an appointment
Please contact the Dental Clinic for more information
on this policy and to make a dental appointment.

USDA Update
By Margo Norton, USDA Director
The participation rate for the Salem and Siletz
USDA Warehouses have been steadily increasing. In April
we serviced over 500 Grand Ronde and Siletz tribal members.
In recognition for all their hard work and efforts, the USDA
staff and volunteers received engraved box cutters with their
names on them and a letter of appreciation. A big thank you
to Kevin McKnight, Gene Hudson, Benny Belgard, Marilyn
Belgard, and Derrick Belgard.
The regional office informed the USDA program
that we were not considered for the ground beef pilot project.
So if the project is a success, we should see fresh frozen
ground meats in our warehouses in 1994.
In July we are getting a shipment of new items;
honey, canned beef, tomato juice, and peanut butter just to
nameafew. Jean-Charles Azure, nutritionist from Chemawa,
and Irene Holland, CHN for Siletz Portland Area office will
be on hand July 20 in Salem and July 23 in Siletz. They will
be taking blood pressures and answering questions on
nutritional concerns.
We are starting to feel the pressure of people who do
not keep their appointments. It is very important that people
call to cancel if they cannot make their scheduled
appointments. The USDA staff can be reached Monday
through Friday 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M at 1-800-922-1399.
