FOl'R -The Hfppnrr GaieUe-Timet, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 1. IS3 T.C.H.H.A. offers health care alternative During the month of Octo ber. President Reagan signed into law the joint Senate and House resolution creating Na tional Home Care Week, re port Sheridan Tarnnyky, ad ministrator and supervising R.N. of Tri-County Home Health Agency, Heppner. "Resolutions of this nature often go unnoticed and un heeded by a large majority of persons in our nation because they do not understand its purpose." Tarnasky stated. The primary purpose of this resolution is to set aside the week of November 27 through December 3 to pay tribute to the dedicated individuals throughout the country whose efforts allow some four to five million elderly, infirm or dis abled individuals to receive the health services and social services they need, in the comforting surroundings of their own home. This resolu tion also gives people an op portunity to hear more about the organizations that provide these services to them in their specific communities. One such organization is the Tri-County Home Health Agency. This small non-profit organization provides the services of part-time inter mittent skilled nursing and physical therapy to the pri marily homebound person. It started as a tiny seed planted by a small group of very dedicated people who could visualize what the future needs of a small remote part of Eastern Oregon were going to be. This group of people worked hard tending the seed they had sown. Their seed did not grow as some do, but rather progressed upward slowly. Sometimes it faltered and almost lost ground, but with continued nurturing and care it began growing faster and steadier. Now, this small tree has become an essential part of our landscape. A part more and more people are looking for, something vital to their independent existence. Hopefully, this tree will begin branching and each branch will become stronger and stronger and someday will be able to stand alone and with out outside protection, Tar nasky explained. Home care provides the services that make it possible to manage multiple medical problems at home, w here the patient, in most cases, would most like to be. "Whether it is caring for a young child with a congenital heart problem, a young woman with a fractured leg. an elderly person with diabetes or a person with a terminal illness, the agency's purpose is to give the best quality care available," she said. The following comments about Tri-County Home Health Agency were submit ted by patients, or a family member of a patient, who has received care from the local home health agency staff: "The help we have receive from this agency has been Inexperienced EHS girls team shows potential Bv ASHLEY COVKLIN With one junior, one sopho more and six freshmen, the lone girls basketball team starts the season Friday.

"I would like to commend the Tri-County H H A. for the good therapy work that was done for me last spring, espe cially that done by Sheridan Tarnasky. I had to have an artificial hip joint removed and these people in their per sistance taught me to walk in spite of no joint." commented Orville Cutsforth. Heppner. And from Jack Loyd. also of Heppner. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the T.CH H A. for the superb at tention and care they have shown me both mentally and physically. "In cases of emergencies, and they can't fill my appoint ment, either Sandy, Robanai or Sheridan calls to tell me they will have to delay the time but will b' t my home later that day. "This small group is a bles sing to our communities. I'm sure all their patients would truthfully agree with me." "With home care becoming an increasing force in the I'nited States, we feel that the counties of Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler are in on the ground floor we already have a home health agency. An agency that is striving to make more services available and to continue to help cover the health care needs of our community." Tarnasky con-cluted.
