The Northeast Texas Health
Services Inc., has an identity
problem according to Mrs.
Angie Blount, a spokesman for
the organization, “because no-
body knows who we are, or
what we do.’’
A non-profit in-home health
care organization, the NTHS
set up shop at 129 Atkins
Street in November 1975 to
provide health care to per-
sons eligible under either
Medicare or Medicaid.
At present NTHS is only
working with 10 patients ac-
cording to Mrs. Blount She
went on to say that die felt
sure that if more people knew
about the services provided
that the case load would sure-
ly increase, and more people
could be helped.
The NTHS provides profes-
sional nursing care, on a part
time basis, practical nursing
care, certain medical sup-
plies, such as gauze, cotton,
rubbing alcohol, oxygen, and
intravenous fluids, but not
drugs or biologicals, and use
of medical appliances, like
wheelchairs.
“We could provide physi-
cal therapy or speech therapy
on a contract basis if a pa-
tient needed such service,’’
Mrs. Blount said.
To qualify for in-home
health care, a person needs to
be enrolled in either Medicare
or Medicaid, and under a doc-
tor’s care.
Doctors may refer patients
to NTHS or eligible patrons
may contact the organization
by visiting the office or by
calling 885-2085.
Rhonda Alley, a registered
nurse, visits each of the pa-
tients on a daily, weekly, or
monthly basis as needed, and
according to the doctor’s or-
ders, and provides whatever
service is called for, such as
changing a dressing and giv-
ing a shot.
Services provided by the
NTHS are paid for through
Medicare and Medicaid. The
patient does not pay for the
services according to Mrs.
Blount The NTHS collects
direct from the organizations.
The Class of ’67 will hold a
meeting Tuesday, Sept. 14, at
7 p. m., in the City National
Bank community room. Plans
for the ten year reunion will
be made. Anyone interested
is urged to attend.
