-learned from Dr. Nich-
ols that he and Dr. Ken
Wenberg covered 35 days
of call at Pioneer Memo-
rial Hospital between the
two of them since Dr. Dan
Hambleton has been out
following surgery. Con-
cerning staff, the consensus
was that the district could
use at least one and possibly
two providers in Irrigon, a
mid-level provider, such as
a nurse practitioner or phy-
sician’s assistant, and then a
physician, since physicians
take longer to recruit.
-learned from Houser
that a test run for the MRI
and Dexa Scan services has
been set for Dec. 10, with

leave one open room. Also,
plans are being submitted to
the state to ask to change
one existing tub room not
being used, to a new med
