Watkins will stress primary services
By BRIAN BARESCH
Staff writer
Watkins Hospital's decision this summer to stop accepting inpatients will not mean a lower student health fee, but officials say the hospital now will be able to concentrate on its primary care services.
The student health fee is $56 this year, the same as a year ago. James Strobl, director of student health services, said the money saved by not offering inpatient care was being used for the staff salary increases authorized by the Legislature this year.
The health fee for next year will be worked out later this year, Strobil said. He did not know whether the fee would change.
The hospital no longer allows patients to stay longer than 24 hours, sending everyone who needs more
than a day's care to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Strobli said that although the hospital had the equipment and staff to offer more than primary care, few students ever needed such care, making the cost of maintaining the equipment unnecessary.
Last year, only 15 students at Watkins needed more than 24 hours of treatment, said Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins.
"We can do anything in the world medically that students want us to do." Strobi said. "Obviously it does!" He added that heart transplants or brain surgery.
Discontinuing inpatient services is part of a national trend among university health care centers, partly because the centers are duplicating services available at nearby hospitals, Yockey said.

"We can take care of 99 percent of any student problems," Yokey said. Most seriously ill students go to LMH anyway, he said.
Judith Hefley, director of community relations at LMH, said the extra students coming there from Watkins probably would not make much difference in LMH's work load.
In addition to spending student fees in the most efficient way possible, Yockey said, Watkins' change also help the hospital gain accreditation.
Accreditation is important for the hospital, he said, because meeting the standards of the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care is a way of demonstrating high health care standards.
Without inpatients, Watkins can be accredited as a primary health care center. Meeting the standards for an impatient hospital would have meant spending $350,000 to update equipment and to improve record keeping, Yockey said.

Counseling center to open
Trick clubbing exhibitions

A new counseling center serving the Lawrence community will open for business in mid-September, said George Flynn, assistant administrator at the Charter Hospital of Overland Park
The Charter Counseling Center of Lawrence, 3210 Mesa Way, will handle individual and family counseling, with an emphasis on chemical dependency and eating disorders. Flynn said.
The center is part of the Charter Medical Corporation, based in Macon, Ga., which operates about 80 hospitals in the United States and Europe. In Kansas it operates hospitals in Overland Park and Wichita and counseling centers in Wichita and Olathe.
"From what we can tell, there is an unmet need for chemical dependency services and an eating disorders program in Lawrence," Flynn said.
He said that the new Lawrence center also would make it easier for Charter hospital patients from the area to receive therapy once they returned home.
Jim Lichtenberg, director of the University Counseling Center, said that although it was difficult to compare different mental health programs, there were several mental health services already available in Lawrence, including the mental
health clinic in Watkins Memorial Hospital and the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 336 Missouri St.
Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Inc. at 1419 Massachusetts St., said the Charter center wouldn't affect her service at all. Headquarters handles immediate crises mostly through its 24-hour hotline and refers people who need long-term therapy to other counseling services.
"It will just be another place to refer people to." Erstein said.
Flynn said the Charter center would open with a staff of four: a medical director, a clinical director, an office manager and an eating disorders director. He said that the center probably would be open weekends and Saturdays and that the phone would be answered on a 24-hour basis.
The Charter center will charge for its services, and it accepts most insurance policies and Medicare but not Medicaid, Flynn said.
He said he wanted to later expand the staff to 10-20 people, and to start a community mental health education program.
