Total cost of operating tlio hospital last year was wuajwu as compared with $200,000 th year before, an increase of "This compares very favora bly with the national average," O'Harra said. "Medicare estima ted costs would go up 7. Ac tually, they went up 13." Higher labor costs are coming, he said. Nurses are due to get a raise in larger cities, and it will Inevitably follow here. Soma have been underpaid In the past, O'Harra declared. A nurse's aide ceived only about $200 per month. , Nursing shortage has been critical, although not acute. Pioneer Memorial employs 12 nurses but only four of them full time. This makes continu ity difficult, the administrator said. . , The hospital now has the ser vices of a dietitian, X-rays are being read by a radiologist, and it will have a consulting phar macist and perhaps a consult ing pathologist soon, due to medicare requirements. Births in the hospital were down to 44 last year, O'Harra said, adding, "If it hadn't been for Condon Air Force Station, there would have been less." Seventy percent of the pa tients are 65 years of age or more, and these patients are staying twice as long as for merly, now averaging 12.4 days. Average stay for all adults is 7.2 days. The average Jumped with the coming of medicare, O'Harra said. He told of a monitoring sys tem installed in the hospital that provides better patient care.
