changes proposed for the Oregon
Medical Care for the Aged pro
gram today had the "enthusiastic
endorsement" of Gov. Mark Hat
field.
The governor predicted the
changes would extend coverage
under the program from the
present 6,000 persons lo "up to
15.0(10 older citizens.
The governor's advisory com
mittee on Medical Care for the
Aged recommended live mainr
changes to broaden coverage un
der the program.
Hatfield said today, "I have
asked that appropriate legislation
be dialled for early action by the
legislative assembly."
The major recommendations
call for:
Major nieilii-al protection.
Expanded availability of nurs
ing home care for senior citizens
of limited means.
More responsibility to the in-
dividual in using his own resour

Fuller use of available match

The "major medical'' proposal
envisions the individual using his
own resources fur items such as
the ollice call, and has the re
sources of the plan focused on
items of larger cost such as hos
pital, nursing home, and heavy
medical or surgical care

That auspicious title might lead
the casual observer to conclude
that the section has a staff list
at least as long as the title.
But it's not so.
Charged with the tremendous
task of hospital planning and con
struction, in the state, Palmer's
staff includes him.iclf and two oth
er full-time experts, and a part
time architect consultant.
This "staff" is charged with the
administration of two programs:
the development of a plan for the
construction of non-profit ' such as
the proposed Klamath Falls Inter
community Hospital) or publicly
operated hospitals, rehabilitation
facilities, nursing homes, and pub
lic health centers Isuch as the
recently-completed Klamath Coun
ty facility I.
If all of this is not enough of
a work load, then consider that
Palmer and his staff are also re
sponsible for the allocation of fed
eral Hill-Burton funds to the vari
ous eligible facilities. Last year,
the total allocation was $2,100,000
and Palmer had to be respon
sible for every last red cent of
that distribution.
naricial aid toward cost of neces
sary nursing care.
In recommending more individ
ual participation individuals would
pay for office visits or out-patient
services except where a surgical
service is provided or diagnostic
X-ray is required after an acci
dent. This is in contrast to the present
plan, which provides both minor
office and in hospital physician
service up to an annual dollar
maximum, but only after an in
ilia! 50 physician expenditure.
It was recommended that pri
vate insurance and health plan
carriers be considered on a com
petitive bid basis.
Extension of hospital services
to a maximum of 30 days instead
of the present 14 days was called
for.

Palmer's office is located in
Portland, along with the other
State Board of Health offices.
Right now, Palmer and his men
are supervising the construction
and planning fur 24 different proj
ects in the state. The schedule
keeps them hopping, but they try
to maintain a close eye on the
projects, and visit them at least
every two months, and sometimes
make it back to some with which
they have some concern, at least
every three weeks.
When they're not in the field in
specting projects, they probably
are in the office studying plans
and proposals of some hospital or
medical facility lor which the
sponsors are trying to qualify for
Hill-Burton funds. Much time is
spent with architects and engi
neers in going over plans and
specifications to see that they con
form to minimum state standards
for the various types of construe
tion that come in the medical
care field.
Palmer has been in Klamath
Falls the past two days, making
an on-the-spot check of sites,
plans and specifications for the
proposed 141-bed hospital lacility
here. In addition, he has held a
whirlwind of conferences with var
ious committees and individuals
concerned with early planning and
financing of the project.
Palmer, an energetic, sincere
soft-spoken gentleman has a back
ground of construction and heavy
construction activity. He has some
architectural training that enables
him to grasp building planning
and design quickly. He has been
director of the planning and con
struction section for the past six
years. Prior to 'hat he had 12
years of experience in state gov
ernment in rehabilitation a field
closely related to the work he is
doing now.
It was Palmer's know-how and
resourcefulness that prompted the
Klamath Falls hospital board of
directors to launch into an accel
crated planning and construction
program in an effort lo qualify
tlie project for public works funds.
If it qualifies, it means consider
able savings to the community in
that one-half of the total cost of
equipping and building tlie hos
