J Tangerine - Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 21, 1978 THREE legal groundwork to form a Pioneer Memorial Hospital Foundation. The foundation would be a tax-exempt corp oration which would use donated funds to finance hospital improvements. Byrnes reported on recent developments with the Tri County Health Services' ap plication for local aid from th National Health Service Corps. Originally, the Tri-County Health group had applied for two National Health Corps physicians to be placed in Heppner, with nurse practic ioners to be stationed in Condon and Fossil. Doctors were also sought to staff the Boardman clinic. National Health Service Corps personnel are placed at sites throughout the nation, and are salaried by the federal government. Doctors and nurses are taking part in the program generally contract their services with the govern ment for one or two year periods, in return for receiv ing federal aid in financing medical school.

The change occured after Hep pner's two physicians report edly told Tri-County personnel that additional physicians were not needed in Heppner. According to the revised application, two doctors are being sought for the Board man area, with nurse practic ioners to be placed in Condon and Fossil. The Fossil and Condon practices would be periodically Visited by the Boardman physicians. According to a letter from Tri-County Health chairman Judge Leo Barnett to Health, Education and Welfare offic ials in Seattle, the two doctors "will relate primarily to the hospital in Hermiston with priveleges in Heppner as well." Despite the setback on the National Health Service front, board members indicated that they were convinced that at least one additional physician is needed in Heppner, and that the board should continue in efforts to recruit doctors. fay . .
