May I. i« u
Hospital Board recommends St. Anthony
proposal to Co. Court
When County Court conven«-* Wcd
nesday May I they » ill I»' asked to
consider a recommendation decided
upon hy the Pioneer Memorial Mi»
pital Board at their April 23 meet
ing The County Court has control of
the hospital and » ill decide to accept
or reject the Board s proposal
The proposal from St Anthony
Hospital. Pendleton is one of throe
proposals the hoard has been study
mg for several months explains
hospital tsiard chairman Marcia
Anderson The other proposals were
from Brim and Associates and West
World Mgm firm
"The St Anthony proposal looked
like the most appropriate wav to go.
she continues Mainlv it is »ithin
the approved budget and hopefully
» ill benefit both SI Vnthony and
Pioneer hospitals
"W ith time this may lx- a good
solution." continues Anderson bo
cause it » ill provide benefits for
hoth parties involved Small rural
hospitals need a support group and
that is »hat »e » ill lx- getting St
Anthony can pros ide visibility for
the hospital and good feelings for
utilization of the hospital Ultimate
ly, she ' a w St Anthony is looking
for the referral of patients »ho
would normally be treated out of the
area anyway
A change which we should see if
the projxisal is accepted is that the
turnover in hospital administrators
should stop explained Bob Smith
interim administrator employed by
Brim and Associates In effect, the
proposal would hire SI Anthony
Hospital to manage the hospital
rather than hiring an individual
administrator
The retainer explains Smith
which Pioneer Memorial Hospital
will pay to St Anthony Hospital is
the amount which has tx-en budgeted
as the administrator's salary for
each year II the contract should be
signed between the two hospitals. St
Anthony would screen applicants for
the administrator's position After
the Pioneer M em orial Hospital
Board selects from the referrals, the
Heppner Clean I Ip continues
if eat her
administrator would be an employee
of St Anthony Hospital with a
vice president type position, but
would I n ' located at Heppner
The proposal from St Anthony
calls for a three year agreement
with a tio day cancelation clause
which is also subject to review at the
end of the first year
In addition to the administrator.
Pioneer Memorial would also re
ceive further evaluation and recoin
mendations from St Anthony of its
overall operation identifying areas
which need to updated developed,
or discontinued
A final benefit to Pioneer would la
the use of all management and
support services at St Anthony
without cost to them beyond the
amount of the administrator s sal
ary
For example, says Smith, a
recent state evaluation of the Pio
neer Nursing Home found that for
the nursing home to retain its
certification, it would lx- necessary
to hire a part time physical thera
pist, a MKial worker and speech
therapist Since St Anthony has a
physical therapist on stall. Pioneer
would also have the use of the
therapist, when needed without cost
to Pioneer
