Donation to PMH expands cardiac care capabilities
Pioneer Memorial Hospital has
expanded its diagnostic capabilities
for heart care with the addition o f
new cardiac stress testing equipment.
Teaming up with the Bend-based
Heart Institute o f the Cascades, the
Heppner hospital purchased a new
treadmill and cardiac monitoring
system. The system will help Morrow
County physicians verify a heart
attack diagnosis, evaluate possible
heart damage and assess the presence
o f coronary disease.
Morrow County Health District,
which owns Pioneer Memorial, and
the Heart Institute o f the Cascades
split the $14,500 cost o f the new
equipm ent.
"Heart disease is still the number
one killer in the U nited States,"
explained Sam Datta, MD, o f the
Pioneer Memorial Clinic in Heppner.
"That means that accurate diagnosis
o f heart-related problems is critical
to the people in our area. This new
equipment will greatly improve our
ability to diagnose heart patients in
Morrow County and determine the
type and level o f treatm ent they
need."
Pioneer M em orial Clinic is a
primary care medical clinic staffed
by family practice physicians and
mid level providers. Physician scope
of practice includes general medicine,
geriatrics, women's health services,
preventive m edicine, urgent care
and m inor surgery.
"We're pleased to be partnering
w ith the Heart Institute o f the
Cascades in Bend to bring this new
equipment to Heppner," said Pioneer
Memorial Hospital adm inistrator
Victor Vander Does. "This type o f
collaborative effort really makes a
difference in a com m unity o f our
size."
PMH is a 12-bed acute care
hospital with a cardiac care unit.
It has Level IV trauma certification.
In addition to acute and emergency
care services, the hospital provides
skilled nursing care under the
M edicare/M edicaid Swing Bed
program. Ancillary services include
hom e health, physical therapy,
radiology and laboratory. Pioneer
M em orial N ursing Hom e, an
intermediate care nursing facility,
is attached to the hospital.
The H eart Institute o f the
Cascades is a collaborative effort
o f St. C harles M edical C enter in
Bend, the Bend M em orial Clinic
and the Starr Wood Cardiac Group
o f Bend. Its vision is to improve the
health and wellness o f the people
o f Oregon and the Pacific Northwest
by providing the best cardiovascular
care, research and education.
"Part o f our goal is to improve
heart care throughout Central and
Eastern Oregon," explained Heart
Institute m edical director Bruce
Brundage, M D. "Som etim es that
will be accomplished by providing
leading edge treatments and access
to diagnostic, surgical and
in te rv e n tio n a l
cardiology
technologies and services at St.
Charles M edical C enter in Bend.
O ther tim es it will be through
research and education. In this case,
we had an opportunity to partner
with the Heppner medical community
to expand local cardiac services and
we were excited to help."
The cardiac services program at
St. Charles Medical Center has been
cited as the best in Oregon by
H ealthgrades.com (w ww .health
grades.com). It has also been noted
for having several key procedures
in the national and regional "Low
Charge 100" lists produced by Data-
Advantage Corporation (www.data-
