And Martin told the Gazette Times last week that "without some infusion of funds, it was a serious question whether we could operate. If there is anything deleted, some ser vices will have to go." The board chairman felt there was "no fat in the budget." "If there are any questions concerning the hos pital budget, call us," Dick said, "Don't let a question go unanswered." PMH Administrator Bob Byrnes told chamber mem bers the hospital is a major provider of health care ser vices because of its uses as a hospital, nursing home, clinic and emergency medical care. Included in the budget are . funds to recruit two physi cians, one for PMH and one for ihe North Morrow Clinic. Recruitment of more doc tors is essential. Burns said, and increased physician reve nue could reduce the hospi tal's $162,396 operating deficit. To accomplish that goal, the administrator said the hospi tal board must establish financial incentives to attract new doctors. "There is a tremendous amount of competition in attracting physicians to rural areas," Byrnes said. Asked further by County Judge D O. Nelson to explain the financial incentives, Byrnes said the board can use the $25,000 any way possible to attract physicians including development of a recruitment brochure and ' payments for the applicants' transportation and "wining and dining them." Martin added that any funds left over, legally revert back to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. Byrnes said more physi cians at PMH may help to increase the hospital's occu pancy rate from 25 to 38 percent. When it approved the bud get, the board anticipated a 7.5 salary increase for non-professional workers, according to Byrnes, that was not a set figure and could change during negotiations with non professional employees be ginning this week. The hospital board is also making plans to enlarge and update Pioneer Memorial Hospital and ituz aDplied for a variance with the Heppner City Council for construction of a new emergency port, X-ray room, addition of a physician's office at the hos pital and other measures designed to modernize the structure. Total budget requirements proposed by the board include $1,685,274 which includes funds for personnel, supplies and expenses, contingencies, free care and allowances, capital improvements and replacement, planning and development legal and labor management consulting, physician services, the North Morrow Clinic and the Section 1625 Grant Project for con struction costs. The total resources expected outside the tax levy requested is estimated at $1,186,152 from daily service charges, ancil lary charges, nursing home, charges, other miscellaneous resources, physician clinic fees, fees from the North Morrow County Clinic and the anticipated 1625 grant for hospital expansion. The tax levy proposal is $549,077 and $49,955 added to that total to make up for taxes not collect ed bringing the total levy request to $549,077. Martin said at Monday's Chamber meeting that should the hospital tax levy fail again, one board member has already told him that he may resign. To meet its financial obliga tions, Martin said, "we are going to need some assurance July 1 of legally operating." Budget Coaaltta. K r si the budgec li preeented below.
