MINUTES <br />PARIS -LAMAR COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING <br />OCTOBER 20, 1988 <br />The Paris -Lamar County Board of Health met Thursday, October 21, <br />1988 at the Health Department Building. Mrs. Norment called the meeting <br />to order at 7:13 A.M. The board members present were: Mrs. Norment, <br />ivirs. Ellis, Dr. Cutrell, Dr. Kraft, Dr. Bercher, Dr. Strom, Rev. Evans, <br />and Dr. Brooks. <br />The minutes from our August meeting were reviewed and approved. <br />A four member quorum was established and approved by all. <br />Alice Anderson announced that Dr. Hillhouse would undergo surgery <br />on October 21, 1988 and have his left kidney removed. If everything <br />goes well he plans to return to work within 4 to 6 weeks. Alice talked <br />to Dr. Crowder with Region 7 in Tyler and they could send a doctor <br />for 1 clinic only on Nov. 9, 1988. <br />Dr. Cutrell spoke concerning temporary coverage for the Health <br />Dept. while Dr. Hillhouse is recovering from surgery. His first option <br />was to get an OB -GYN Resident doctor from Dallas. Liability insurance <br />would probably be a problem. His second option was to call a meeting <br />with the Paris -Lamar County Medical Society and discuss coverage. He <br />plans to have a separate discussion between our Obstetricians here. <br />All the board members asked that we not accept any doctor coverage <br />from Tyler. The Pediatric Clinic will cover our Immunization and Well - <br />Child Clinics. Dr. Bercher will cover our Veneral Disease Clinics. All <br />board members agreed that we should send all emergency patients to the <br />hospital emergency rooms. <br />Bob Ricks passed out copies of our August and September monthly <br />reports. <br />Our next board meeting will be on October 25, 1988, here at the <br />Paris -Lamar County Health Department at 7:00 A.M. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 A.M. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Sharon J. Semis, Clerk III <br />OCT 24 , <br />
