October 2nd - 5th: Come talk to us about our employment opportunities. We’ll be at the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses conference at Gaylord Opryland in Nashville TN. As one of the area’s largest and fastest growing health care institutions, Athens Regional Medical Center does not measure its success by the flourishing size of the hospital complex or the accumulations of state-of-the-art technology. Rather, people are the measure of Athens Regional’s success. People, such as a pediatric nurse reassuring a frightened child before surgery ... people, such as the chaplain comforting the family who has just learned of their loved one’s illness ... people, such as the social worker making aftercare arrangements for the elderly patient. The jobs and faces of these 2,000 employees vary. Yet their spirit and dedication to meet the daily demands the health care profession requires are extraordinary. Athens Regional consistently provides award-winning healthcare services to the community by hiring qualified and dedicated individuals.

Advocates made the statements in written and spoken testimony at a public hearing about the waiver. If the waiver is approved, children whose parents enroll in Utah’s Premium Partnership, which helps families pay private insurance premiums, would be denied SCHIP coverage. The waiver also extends the time a family must remain uninsured before enrolling in either plan from 90 days to six months. Read full article.

Don Carcieri (R) on Tuesday released an application for a “global Medicaid waiver” that would allow the state to make broad changes to the program in exchange for capping spending, the Providence Journal reports. In adopting a global waiver, the governor would agree to limit Medicaid spending to $12.4 billion through 2013. State Department of Human Services Associate Director Murray Blitzer said that if the state runs out of its allotted funds before the five-year mark it will lose matching federal funds, which would force the state to pay the program’s full cost or cut services. In exchange for capping spending, the state would receive broad authority to change services, such as nursing home care, subsidized transportation for the elderly and beneficiaries with disabilities, health insurance for low-income children and parents, and prescription drug coverage for seniors, according to the Journal.

Under employer-offered CDHPs, members pay up-front deductibles either out-of-pocket or from a dedicated health-care account before insurance coverage begins. Proponents—including President Bush and presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain—argue that consumers in a market-oriented approach will make better health-care choices and drive health-care costs down by doing cost comparisons and accessing information about their conditions. Critics argue that people will instead opt out of important care. Read full article. Oregon 2008-08-21T17:51:00-05:00
