 In
1981 Woodlands Institute, Inc.,
a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational organization based in Pendleton
County, ran a countywide survey on area needs.
The greatest need expressed was for greater access to health
care. By July 1,1982 the clinic was incorporated as a not-for-profit
organization and an administrator hired. The clinic opened for business
Oct. 1 staffed by a National Health Service Corps MD, Henry Taylor
and a part-time Nurse Practitioner, Nancyellen Brennan.
Students in the health care field spend
time at the clinic - In the 12 months from July ’83 through June
’84, the clinic’s fiscal year, 1,541 people were seen, with a total
of 6,186 encounters. The tradition of having students in the health
care field spend time at the clinic began. The clinic began receiving
uncompensated care funds from the state to help make up the difference
between the cost of care and what families could afford in late 1984.
The November 1985 flood - In Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1985
there were 1,802 users and 7,458 encounters. In November of 1985 the
area experienced the worst and most widespread flood since 1949. Dr.
Taylor spent a lot of time working with the emergency and recovery
efforts.
David Cockley - David Cockley started in March 1987 as Administrator.
King Seegar, MD began practice in September 1987, with his specialty
in Pediatrics bringing in many more patients. PCC took on the management
contract for the North Fork Clinic.
The Adolescent Health Specialist regional program
- In FYE '88 there were 2,237 users and 8,979 encounters. The
Homemakers' program provided in-home care to frail, low-income elderly
patients with a total of 11 homemaker aides. The Adolescent Health
Specialist regional program began in 1989 funded by the state Division
of Maternal and Child Health. There were 9,446 encounters during
the in FYE '90. The Drug-free Communities program began a teen center
(open weekends), teen Natural Helpers were identified and trained
and Active Parenting classes were held.
A Robert Wood Johnson grant - A Robert
Wood Johnson grant started August 1, 1991 to support the startup
and first three years' operation of two school-based health centers.
Funding was subsequently provided by the Benedum Foundation and
then by the State of West Virginia through the Division of Primary
Care. FYE '91 had 3,040 users and 10,192 encounters.
PEIA Worksite Wellness program - The PEIA
Worksite Wellness program began in 1993, running preventive and
wellness programs for state employees in a 9-county area. The clinic
assisted 2 other primary care clinics (in addition to the North
Fork Clinic) with management services, took on the nursing med-pass
contract with the local group home for severely retarded adults
and continued the other programs.
FYE
'95 saw the highest number of FTE medical providers in the clinic
During 1994 ancillary programs
continued to add a variety of services to PCC's operations. Managed
care became an issue and the possibility of a local network began
to be considered. There were 11,327 encounters. FYE '95 saw the
highest number of FTE medical providers in the clinic: there were
3049 users and 11,487 encounters.
Dr. Taylor
decided to pursue a degree in Public Health Administration
Dr. Taylor decided to pursue a degree in Public Health Administration
and left the clinic in the spring of '95. Javier Calderon, MD, also
an internist, started in August '96. The concept of a local network
culminated in the formation of Pendleton Health Services, composed
of PCC, the North Fork Clinic and the local Health Department.
Michael Judy was hired in March
'96 as Administrator of PHS
Michael Judy was hired in March '96 as Administrator of PHS. There
were 9,755 visits at the clinic and 470 at the schools. On going ancillary
programs were Homemakers, nursing services for foster children, the
Adolescent Health program and the school-based clinics. A Health Fair
was held in April 1997 on the North Fork.
Health Fairs became regular events
In 1998 the decision was made
to apply for FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Clinic look-alike)
status, which allows a higher reimbursement rate for Medicare and
Medicaid visits. However, new Federal legislation required FQHC's
to employ an administrator directly. Pendleton Health Services (PHS)
employees were moved to PCC and the local Health Department ceased
involvement. PCC again contracted with the North Fork for administrative
services. A countywide newsletter was established as a joint project
between PCC and the North Fork clinic and Health Fairs become regular
events, with one in Circleville every April and one in Franklin
every October.
FQHC
status was granted in September of '99
he contract for nursing supervision
for foster children was dropped in 1999, leaving PCC with three
ancillary programs: Homemakers, Adolescent Health and the School-Based
Health Centers. Anne Peterie, a Certified Nurse Practitioner started,
and helped create a large increase in the number of school-based
clinic encounters. PCC also became a CBOC, an outreach clinic for
the Veterans Administration.
PCC attained
Community Health Center status in July 2000
PCC attained Community Health Center status in July 2000.
This Federal program provides ongoing support for improving the
quality and increasing the quantity of services available at the
clinic. The internist position changed hands in August: the provider
staff as of October 2000 was King Seegar, MD, Brian Sebastian, MD,
and Anne Peterie, FNP. Medical services are provided without regard
for the patient's ability to pay. See our Discount Policy for more
information.
