Wahkiakum County officials this week continued efforts to find solutions to the financial crisis of the Wahkiakum Family Practice Clinic. When county officials decided 2.5 years ago to buy the clinic from PeaceHealth Medical Center, they knew it would probably run at a loss, but the loss has been more than double what they expected. The clinic entered 2007 with an unpaid loan of $185,000 from the county treasurer, and it is now facing a projected $250,000 shortfall for 2007. On Tuesday, county officials, clinic Business Manager Kathy Patterson...
