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.
