Trupp HR is a company that o� ers numerous human resource services that can help clients through the ever confusing world of human resources. � ey are located in the Portland area and are current with all human resources issues in Oregon and Washington. NWPS decided to partner with Trupp HR for human resources because of their commitment to the smaller to mid-size employer, which is the client base for NWPS. � eir client is our client. Review the attached newwsletter insert and see if you think Trupp HR can help your business, give them a call.

Chamber Shout Outs

For the sixth consecutive year,MCMC nurses were among the exclusive group of Oregon healthcare professionals selected to receive the March of Dimes Nurse of the Year Award.

Each year the March of Dimes selects one outstanding nurse in each of 16 di� erent categories of care. � is year, two MCMC nurses were selected in two categories continuing the hospital’s streak of having at least one nurse earn the honor every year since the award program’s inception. � is year’s honorees are: Lynn Allen, M.N., A.R.N.P., and Kathy Kahler, R.N., M.S.N., C.H.C.A.A member of the patient care team at MCMC’s Celilo Cancer Center, Allen was named Advance Practice Nurse of the Year. She says she loves visiting with her patients, discovering their personal stories, and supporting them through one of the most di� cult times in their lives. Kahler, co-director of Visiting Health Services for MCMC, is Home Health Nurse of the Year. � e daughter of a nurse, Kahler says it is an honor that patients allow visiting nurses into their home to care for them. “It’s always been her mission to care for patients where they are most comfortable — in the home,” says Visiting Health Services’ other co-director, Marcia Medler, noting that Kahler coincidentally won her honor during National Home Care & Hospice Month. “I am very humbled by this honor,” Kahler says. “It’s the team that I work with at Visiting Health Services, and my family, that make me who I am. I look forward to growing MCMC’s Visiting Health department in the Columbia Gorge region, where we cover seven counties in Washington and Oregon and serve over 200 patients every day. I want to thank the sta� who cares for our patients, and also my mom for her inspiration and support.” Interim President/CEO Dianne Storby considers MCMC’s year-in, year-out representation on the nursing awards list to be “an extraordinary achievement for a hospital of our size. It is proof of the hard work and dedication to patient care I see every day from the healthcare professionals at MCMC. I am proud of our winners, past and present.” An awards breakfast for all honored nurses was held in November in Portland. � e annual event brings together the Oregon and Southwest Washington healthcare community to recognize nursing excellence and achievements in education, innovation, leadership, research, and quality patient care.

Next to the vehicle building is an open air shed which houses more horse drawn vehicles. Another story unfolds in the original buildings of the Anderson Homestead. � e homestead was originally owned by Louis Anderson and family who came to � e Dalles in 1890 and purchased farmland on Pleasant Ridge.
