David and April Hilton Sykea, Publishers Editorial County needs doctors more than revenue Considering the difficulty Morrow County has in attracting and keeping doctors, the county court is taking a hard line in regards to lease of the county -owned medical clinic, located adjacent to Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Heppner. The county is asking a lease agreement of $450 per month through 1983, $600 a month in '84 and $700 in '85. It has given Dr. Clare Koznek, who is now occupying the clinic, 30 days to agree to the terms. The terms provided in the agreement are too high, too long and too rigid and the court is not giving Koznek long enough to decide. The court's decision would probably serve no purpose but to drive a doctor out. (The court also made an earlier decision to sell the clinic for $75,000.) What the court fails to realize is that a doctor - hospital relationship is a "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" situation - a package deal. If there is no doctor, patients will not be admitted to the hospital, hospital revenues will go down, hospital staff will be reduced and the yearly hospital budget would most certainly fail. Our community wants and deserves more than a county nursing home. The court seems concerned that it lost money in a rental agreement with the previous tenant of the clinic. But it should not "take it out on" the new tenant. What the county may lose in rent of the clinic, it can make up in hospital -general revenues, in community well-being. Are county residents really benefited if they are forced to drive out of county for health care? What of the cost of gas. food, accommodations, of peace of mind? The county should not be in the business of making money at the cost of its residents. We need our doctors the court should reconsider its position.
