Speaker 11 0:30

And welcome to the Double R Show. Today we'll have an opportunity to find out all of the nominees for the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, various categories for their annual banquet.

Speaker 3 0:40

Yeah, it's kind of the multiverse, right? There's a multiple amount of folks that are going to be uh uh nominated that are are nominated, and so you look for those names. And uh speaking of multi and the multiverse, we got uh Dr. Leslie Ogden talking about multi-care, right? And the uh affiliation that yeah, affiliation that uh they uh going to be doing with this other organization up in the Washington area.

Speaker 11 1:04

No, this is huge. This is uh a big news for the hospital and for the community at large.

Speaker 3 1:10

And then lastly, we've got Keith Barnes talking about other uh ways to connect for veterans. Uh of course, there is a ballot measure uh supporting uh the Lincoln County Veterans Association, uh, I think is the title, right? It's on the ballot now. So it's on the ballot.

Speaker 11 1:26

Only item on the ballot.

Speaker 3 1:27

Yeah, look for that in your uh inbox and uh be sure to vote.

And I can honestly uh say with uh uh no hesitation, I have voted and voted for the ballot measure. I am a veteran. I do appreciate that. And if you see somebody, a veteran, and you say thank you for your service, supported with your wallet.

Speaker 3 1:51

I can say that I too voted for him, but uh yeah. So there's two votes out of uh however many of the county. Uh, but make sure you turn in your ballots in time for the November election.

Speaker 11 2:01

And if you don't vote, don't complain. I don't want to hear it. Okay, we'll take a break and we'll join uh with our special guests right after this.

Speaker 11 3:07

Dr. Leslie Ogden, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital and Pacific Communities Hospital, the CEO. We have some huge news.

Speaker 9 3:16

Some very huge news.

Speaker 11 3:18

Multicare. What is multicare?

Speaker 9 3:20

Yeah, so recently, just last week, we announced, Samaritan announced that our intent is to affiliate with multicare. They are a hospital system that is number one, nonprofit, number two, community-based, number three, believes in local governance out of Tacoma, Washington. And we are very excited because we believe that this will allow us to have not only the stability that we've been looking for in healthcare times of change, but also the ability to grow and deliver a multitude of services to our region that we were sort of struggling to figure out how we were going to strategize in the future.

Speaker 11 4:12

So this now becomes multicare hospital? Does it remain as Samaritan Northwake of the hospital? What happens?

Speaker 9 4:19

Yes, yes. So we will affiliate with multicare and become them, so to speak. However, they realize the value of the name and they also believe in local governance. So there may be a lot of the Samaritan name that actually stays. We'll have to see how that all shakes out. But they understand what Samaritan is to our region, to our local uh area, and they don't want to undo that.

Speaker 11 4:54

So why did we have to or will we uh join with another operation?

Speaker 9 5:00

Uh you got a stable hospital system, but we actually studied ourselves quite a bit.

Speaker 11 5:08

Okay.

Speaker 9 5:08

Um we uh took a and I believe I've talked uh to you about this before, we took a $68 million loss last year as Samaritan as a as a health system.

Speaker 11 5:20

Over the five hospitals.

Speaker 9 5:21

All of the five hospitals, the whole spanking thing all together, we lost sixty-eight million dollars. That was surprising to us. It was a lot more than we had anticipated, uh, a lot of it uh coming through health plans because we also own a health plan. So we had to very quickly figure out how to turn things around. And we have, we have almost made a full turnaround.

Speaker 11 5:47

How did you accomplish that?

Speaker 9 5:49

I know a lot of things have been have been re-jiggered, so to speak. But in that process, we have been evaluated by outside experts who have said, you know, you could remain independent, you could do this on your own. But as we look ahead at what we see coming down the pipe for health care, we are looking at massive Medicaid cuts. We are looking at struggles for people to understand how they're going to have their own insurance, how they're going to afford that. We're seeing cuts across the board in Medicare in some instances, just a lot of things that don't look hopeful.

Speaker 11 6:36

And have no control over.

Speaker 9 6:37

And we have no control over, especially when we see 75% government payers in our coastal hospitals, meaning 75% of all the people who come and seek care for us, ultimately we get paid by the government for all of these people, whether that be Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, you know, some some whatever it is. So we rely an awful lot on things that are outside of our control and our ability to continue to deliver care. So yeah, we could go this alone, we could try it, but what we see is an opportunity to affiliate with a very like hospital system, meaning they are nonprofit, they are locally governed, they are community-based. And we said to ourselves, why would we try to go it alone if we can bring a lot more resources to bear in our region?

Speaker 11 7:41

Now, this is a done deal, this is a you know a immune process deal.

Speaker 9 7:47

Well, we have a complex system of health care oversight in the state of Oregon. And to that end, anytime we want to do something that falls into the categories of mergers or acquisitions or partnerships or anything along those lines, we have to go to the state and we have to ask permission. And so we have done that, but this will be a multi-month process that at the earliest will be done in spring of 2026, and it may even extend to the end of the summer by the time the state gives their approval, and we hope we will get their approval to join our two systems together.

Speaker 11 8:33

So, where does the district fit into this puzzle?

Speaker 9 8:35

The health district. Yeah. So the health district, they are the folks that are tasked with oversight of health care in our area, and they raise funds through taxation of the folks that live within the health district, and then they choose how to spend that money for the betterment of health in the area. And so one of the most fantastic things that our health district has done recently is help to provide financing for our STARS program that's the first of its kind in Lincoln County. That is an inpatient substance use disorder treatment facility that coincidentally just opened yesterday. Um, and that is uh October 27th. So they choose how to fund health care in this area. That will not change. Those are elected positions. They can choose to help work on projects that are sponsored by the Samaritan or multi-care in the in the future, or they can choose to spend their money in a completely different fashion. So Dr.

Speaker 11 9:47

Leslie Ogden and Multicare coming to Lincoln County and all of the Samaritan system. Uh, we're gonna take a break and uh we'll have Dr. Ogden back on again with us next week to continue that discussion and the discussion about the STARS program, which I know you're really proud of.

Speaker 11 11:18

Thanks for coming on board.

Speaker 2 11:20

Absolutely.

Speaker 11 11:21

Keith on a ballot is uh one item, one item only, I believe, uh almost county wide, and it's got to do with veterans. Tell us about it.

Speaker 2 11:30

Yeah, so we are asking for the voters to approve a levy to help secure and fund our office. The levy is for three and a half cents per thousand dollars of assessed value. So the average uh house and our home in Lincoln County would be about an eight dollar and forty cent a year increase in your property taxes, which would go to fund our office and secure us from the county budget.

Speaker 11 11:59

Okay, what additional services will this buy the veterans, if you will, because we already have you and your staff working for the veterans. Well, what more comes from it?

Speaker 2 12:11

Well, it's gonna do two things. The first thing it's gonna do is it's gonna secure our budget. We are facing in the county with the currently we have a freeze on new employees on filling positions, and we're looking at maybe possibly having some budget cuts this year. This levy will prevent those budget cuts from happening to our office. Uh, the second thing it's gonna do is it's gonna help us with some outreach. One of the things with our our small office, we just have a hard time having consistent outreach into the community. I have an example of a veteran that came into the office here last December, worked through, got him service connected. He's now at 100%, but he should have been a hundred percent two or three years ago, but he didn't know about these programs. And if we could have been out in the community a little bit more, maybe we could have touched that veteran, talked to him, and got him in the service. And over three years, that would have been you know, nearly $130,000 more of services or more funds that that veteran would have received.

Speaker 11 13:15

What kind of services are are we talking about, Keith?

Speaker 2 13:19

Well, so there's lots of them. You know, our our bread and butter is disability claims working through that disability claim. But also, like right now, as we're seeing the potential for Medicare and Medicaid premiums to skyrocket, getting them enrolled in VA healthcare, getting them set up in a higher priority group in VA healthcare so that they can weather through that storm, and maybe they don't need that extra uh advantage plan that could you know skyrocket their insurance. Or if they're a small business owner working in the community who's a veteran who's never used VA benefits, maybe we can get them enrolled and they can start doing it. And then, you know, depending on where they're at in that benefits profile, maybe they don't even need to be paying for external uh healthcare benefits.

Speaker 11 14:05

Benefits are the big uh big hook, if you will. And in your office, you've got uh two other officers that that work with the veterans securing benefits as well.

Speaker 2 14:16

No, we only have two VSOs. We have myself and Caroline, who are accredited VSOs through the VA, and then we have an administrative assistant who's really our scheduler, and he talks on the phone and he does a great job. He he takes a lot of our plate because he's also a veteran. So he's able to answer a lot of those VA questions and allow us to work on those uh claims and benefits packages. The thing we are missing is that outreach person, the person that can go to those farmers markets, those craft fairs, sit at the hospital, do those things to kind of touch those veterans and get that personal face-to-face into the community.

Speaker 11 14:55

What's the biggest misunderstanding, if you will, of the veteran service offices in Newport?

Speaker 2 15:01

Well, really, there's two of them. Number one is we are not funded by the VA. We are funded by the county budget and some pass-through funds through the Oregon lottery. We do not receive any federal monies, we do not receive any grant funding through the VA, and we are not a VA office. The other biggest misconception we have is that we have veterans all the time say, Oh, well, I wasn't a war veteran, or I wasn't I didn't serve in a combat zone, so there aren't any benefits for me. That is completely false. If you serve in the military, there may very well be lots of benefits available to you, whether it's at your end of life with death benefits, or healthcare benefits, or disability benefits. The only people that can tell you that you don't have benefits is the VA, and we're gonna help you reach out to the VA, and we're gonna help you go through that system and get those benefits.

Speaker 11 16:01

When it comes right down to uh Keith, you would actually be the middleman that would help that veteran deal with the big the big house, if you will.

Speaker 2 16:12

Absolutely. You know, when we take a look at VA healthcare, for instance, each hospital group is grouped, you know, like we're in the Portland catchment area, there's also the Rosebort catchment area, there's the Boise catchment area, which covers eastern Oregon and eastern Washington, there's the Seattle catchment area that catches uh up to southwest Washington, but not Vancouver. And knowing those areas and how to get through them is important. There's also eight priority groups, and each group has different sets of benefits that are associated with them, and knowing how to get you raised up in different benefit priority groups, knowing what benefits work through your benefit groups, that's important. So we can we can help navigate you through those situations because unfortunately, the VA, like many government offices, are large bureaucracies, and as much as we want to make it as simple as we can, that's not gonna happen under our watch.

Speaker 11 17:07

And again, the the vote comes up this uh November, uh you are one of the uh only items on the ballot, correct?

Speaker 2 17:15

The only item on the ballot countywide, again, it is three cents, three and a half cents per thousand dollars of assessment. And what that'll do is that will take us out of the county budget. So that way, if the county budget they say, hey, we need to cut 30% to all offices, because I'm not in the county budget, I won't have to cut that out of my office. I'll be able to keep my office word.

Speaker 11 17:40

Appreciate the information, and again, uh make certain that you uh vote and uh get the ballot into the box as soon as possible. On the line with us right now has been Keith Barnes, Veteran Service uh officer for Lincoln County. Thanks, Keith.

Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director is with us, Lori Archituris. Welcome, Lori. You have a lot of people to give some accolades to.

Speaker 5 18:51

I do. And like I keep saying, it's the best thing that we do all year. It is absolutely my favorite event because it's not that often that we get to recognize and celebrate our our businesses in town.

Speaker 11 19:04

This is the annual awards banquet that's going to be held uh November 13th at the Cultural Center. And the main reason we had Lori come on today is to give some accolades to all of the nominees, and it is staggering the number of nominees.

Speaker 5 19:21

Yep, we added a category. The board and I were talking about it, and we're like, do we want to stick with the same categories? And they and I've I totally agree. We felt strong that we need a community impact because we've got so many businesses that do great things for the community, but there really wasn't a category in the ones that we had. So that community impact, we had a lot of nominees in that category for sure.

Speaker 11 19:46

Speaking of nominees, uh, I'm gonna turn it over to you and let you go over the list of nominees. I know at the chamber luncheon this past week, uh you introduced everybody that was there. Um, and you've got an enviable list of talent.

Speaker 5 20:03

Yeah, it was great. And you know, I make them stand, make them be recognized. And that night, same thing. I'll call them up to the front and make them be recognized. So um, yeah, the night of November 13th from 6 to 8 at the Cultural Center will be the awards banquet where we will honor all of the nominees. I'll have a certificate for them, and then we will announce the winners.

Speaker 11 20:25

Very good.

Speaker 5 20:25

But I would love to announce the winners in each category. And since we were talking about the Community Impact Award, I'll start with that category. So first we have Family Promise of Lincoln County, Habitat for Humanity, Lincoln City Elks Lodge, North Lincoln Fire and Rescue, Rotary Club of Lincoln City, and TLC, a division of Fiber Federal Credit Union.

Speaker 11 20:51

Community Impact Award. Uh, and again, that this is rather significant.

Speaker 5 20:58

It is, and and it really means that you're reaching out to all of the other organizations, partnering with organizations and filling a need that we have in the community. Okay, and next we have We have Best New Business, which this one is a great one too. Um we've got Amazon Hub, Fancy Fish and Aquascapes, Fish and Clips, Lincoln City Ceramics, Momo on the Wheels, Rosanna's Closet, Seahorsey Bottle Shop, and Sootbuster's Chimney Sweep.

Speaker 11 21:33

It is amazing to me, again, going back to the last uh Chamber of Commerce luncheon, the number of new members that you introduced that I had not heard of these businesses, and a number of these I had not heard of as well.

Speaker 5 21:46

Yep, and some of them, like Seahorsey Bottle Shop, they're brand new in um building on 51st.

Speaker 11 21:52

Speaker 5 22:01

Eleanor's in there, and Fish and Clips is also in there. So yeah, there's a lot of businesses in there, and they were both nominated and became chamber members to go forward in the process. So yeah, definitely happy to welcome them. Next we have the beautification award, and this one is a great one, too. And some of these businesses were nominated in multiple categories. So, yeah, first we've got first choice fresh market, Chinook Gwen's Casino Resort, they've been doing a lot of beautification things, Evergreen Home Loans, Lincoln City Parks and Recreation, North Lincoln Sanitary Service, and Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. And all of those have Evergreen just moved into their really great new location, Lincoln City Parks and Recreation, you know, the Taft Parks and the new Schooner Creek Park. They've been doing so much.

Speaker 11 22:55
