WE ARE
so pleased to have joined forces
with the Union Family Health Center and the
Elgin Family Health Clinic. With increasing
regulatory demands on providers, it had become
more and more difficult for these smaller inde-
pendent practices to survive. It is a situation the
Union operation had sought to alleviate by
previously considering a partnership with
another health care system.
Because we view regional access to quality
health care services as our mission, we believed
it was vital that health care services offered in
these communities remain viable for the people
who live in them. It was in this spirit of support,
along with the desire to fulfill our mission, that
we entered into negotiations with both the South
County Health District Board and Elgin Health
District Board last spring.
Please join us in welcoming our new primary
care providers: Kim Montee, MD; Bonnie
Hayslett, PA; and Jamie Jo Haddock, FNP, as
well as all of the wonderful clinic staff into the
Grand Ronde Hospital family. We are excited
to continue working together to build upon the
great strides in health care services that have
already been made in these communities.
