BROWN News Editor An analysis of planned and ex isting collaboration between the Warren County Health Depart ment and the Vance-Warren Comprehensive Health Plan was received for information by the Warren County Board of County Commissioners when the board gathered Monday night in regu lar session. "This will be important for our citizens to be aware of since it speaks to our need to upgrade and revitalize the old Warren General Hospital Building that is now known as the Warren Medi cal Facility," Chairman Eva Clayton said. Renovations to the Warren Medical Facility costing 1900,000 art included in the $l.t million bond referendum for work on public buildings to be voted on by citizens on May 3. The N.C. Office of Health Resources last year committed $300,000 to Warren County, with the expectation that community support would be demonstrated by providing a suitable building, lite board of commissioners last year earmarked $50,000 for the project and has planned a similar allocation from the next fiscal year's budget. A $500,000 loan for the balance, to be paid by rents paid for the portion of the facility occupied now by the Warren Health Plan, would come from bond monies. Currently, thq Warren County Health Department and the Vance-Warren Comprehensive Health Plan collaborate In the following ways: ?laboratory, x-ray and physi cian services, among them con sultation orders for the Adult Health Program and back-up ser vices for pediatric nurse practi tioners, are provided to the health department; ?monthly meetings are held between the administrative di rectors of both agencies to ex amine areas of mutual concern; and ?health educators from both agencies provide counseling to Health Plan clientele. When both the Health Depart ment and the Vance-Warren Comprehensive Health Plan are able to occupy the same build ing?the Warren Medical Facil ity?the following Joint efforts have been planned; ?all segments of the county's population, including those without a regular physician, will be provided comprehensive pri mary care; ?the flow of patients will be improved as both agencies share the same waiting, reception, vital sign and diagnostic areas; ?health education will be of fered to all Health Plan patients at the time of their visit, if possible; ?routine health-risk screening will be offered and those persons discovered to be at high risk will be referred; ?school and outreach activi ties will be delivered by ap propriate staff from both agen cies; and ?counseling and clinical serv ices to teenagers will be pro vided with Robert Wood Johnson funding received by the health department. Chairman Clayton reported that the board had submitted a pre-application for funding to FmHA for the entire bond pack age. If Warren County citizens vote"yes" on May 3, the first phase of activity would involve use of the $500,000 needed for renovations to the Warren Medi cal Facility. Also used in the first phase would be $1,550,000 for a new law enforcement center. "Proceeding in this way would cost less than if the bonds were sold on the open market," Mrs. Clayton said. "The only problem is the availability of funds (from FmHA)," she explained. Mrs. Clayton emphasised that a final application for FmHA fun ding had not been Hied by the board. < The board also postponed ac tion on proposed revisions to the county's subdivision regulations until its May meeting. The plan ning board has been ariced to in ( Continued on page 6)
