Anthony informed the Board that the Health Department has received certification as a Rural Health Clinic and was waiting on numbers. Also, Anthony informed the Board that the Health Department has received EPSDT numbers and are seeing EPSDT patients. Anthony discussed filling the primary care position with a P.A. or F.N.P., and Dr. Strom stated he felt that a P.A. would require more supervision by a physician than a F.N.P.. Anthony discussed Dr. Woodruff not coming to the Health Department as often as needed, and Dr. Strom advised he would contact Dr. Woodruff and get back with Anthony. Dr. Strom requested that a productivity report be presented the Board at the next meeting to see if patient load has increased. Dr. Strom recommended we look for two intermediate care providers instead of one and also look into the "Grow Your Own" program. The next meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, June 21, 1995, at the Holiday Inn. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 am. Respectfully Submitted, Bob Ricks
