X-ray four weeks away;
October could see new
addition ready for
occupancy
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
expects to receive a new X-ray
machine with flouroscopic
capabilities within the next
four weeks.
The new X-ray gear, to be
housed in the existing radi
ology room at the hospital,
will for the first time give the
hospital the ability to perform
nearly all types of diagnostic
X-ray examinations includ
ing upper and lower G.I.'s
here in Heppner. Such exam
inations previously had to be
performed at larger hospitals
in Pendleton and Hermiston.
funds for purchasing the
X-ray equipment were re
ceived through a grant from
the federal government's de
partment of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare. No local
finances were required. A
second, portable X-ray device
will be ordered later this year.
Total cost for the new X-ray
hardware will total about
$105,000.
Funding also appears immi
nent for a new addition to the
rear of the hospital, which will
house a new emergency room,
doctor's examination room
and office, and waiting room.
Architect's plans for the
addition are in the process of
being finalized for approval by
the hospital board and HEW's
Region 10 office in Seattle.
According to Pioneer Memor
ial Administrator Bob Byrnes,
Region 10 officials told repre
sentatives of the Heppner
hospital that if all goes
according to plan, the addition
would be ready for occupancy
by October of this year. The
addition is expected to cost in
the vicinity of $100,000.
Pioneer Memorial was one
of only two hospitals in Oregon
to receive federal grant fund
ing under the project which
will pay for the new X-ray
gear and hospital addition.
The grant was applied for in
1977.
The new addition would
provide for adjoining labora
tory, emergency and X-ray
rooms, which would result in
an "efficient, compact ar
rangement," Byrnes said.

Tentative floor plan for new addition to Pioneer Memorial
Hospital, at left, shows how emergency, X-ray and lab rooms
would be arranged in an efficient cluster. Also included in the
addition is a doctor's office and outpatient examination
room. At right, diagram shows how addition would fit in to
existing building. If all goes according to plan, the addition
could be completed by October. Money to pay for the addition
would come from a grant from the federal department of
Health, Education and Welfare. Prospects look good for
receiving the grant.

Watch for these signs

PHONE (509) 534-0657
Our caution signs come in two sizes, free
standing circular signs and vertical post
signs. They are there to ALERT YOU
that a natural gas transmission pipeline
is underground.
The PGT pipeline traverses hundreds of
miles. It goes under freeways, along
highways and country roads, through
farms and residential areas, from Canada
through Idaho, Washington and Oregon
to California.
The pipeline is securely buried along this
route and marked at strategic locations
by the signs you see illustrated here. The
pipe, however, cannot be seen from above
ground, so we urge you call us BEFORE
you start to dig in the vicinity of a
caution sign.
Call us anytime, day or night. We will
pinpoint the exact location of the PGT
pipeline. This service is FREE TO YOU.
Most accidents on gas pipelines are
caused by careless digging. Don't let it
happen to you. Take the time to call us
