by last month's resignation of
former patrolman Tom How
ell. Lien, who enjoys hunting,
fishing, camping and "explor
ing around the countryside,"
said that first impressions of
his new assignment indicates
that Heppner is a "more
police-oriented town than
Sweet Home," with local
residents providing "good re
lations with police."
Heppner residents file fewer
complaints than do people in
Sweet Home, he said with
police here focusing more on
"door shaking" and other
preventative police work,
"which I think is great."

Lewanne and son, Don.

Hospital $24,000 in red thus far this year
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
is operating at a net loss of
$26,040 as of the end of
November thus far this year,
according to financial state
ments presented during a
Tuesday night meeting of the
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
board of trustees.
Most of the loss can be
attributed to the hospital's
dismal occupancy rate, Pio
neer Memorial Administrator
Bob Byrnes told the trustees.
As of the end of November, the
hospital has maintained an
average percentage of oc
cupancy of 27 per cent,
compared with 42 per cent for
the same period a year ago.
The occupancy rate in
creased slightly in November
from the rate recorded in
October up to 28 per cent

room use has remained at
about the same level thus far
this year, compared with,
figures for last year.
In less gloomy develop
ments, the hospital board
voted to enter into a contract
with the Picker Corp. to
purchase a ceiling mounted
X-ray unit with flouroscopic
capabilities worth about
$76,000. The contract would
become final when the hospi
tal receives some $105,000 in
federal funds applied for in a
grant request to the depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare. Also included in the
contract is an agreement to
purchase from Picker a port
able X-ray unit, estimated to
cost in the vicinity of $20,000.

The board voted to set Jan.

pending an opportunity for
board members to study the
document.
In other development, the
board of trustees voted to
change its meeting date to the
third Tuesday of each month.
The board also agreed to ask

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.

Tri-County Health Service
changed its application, delet
ing the request for additional
doctors in Heppner. 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.
