Tillamook Hospital was built on its current site in 1950, at a cost of $1,175,000. In 1973, Tillamook County signed a long-term management lease agreement with Northwest Medical Foundation of Tillamook, a non-profit health care corporation affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and owned by Adventist Health.

In 1975, county citizens approved a bond issue, which when combined with federal funds resulted in a $2.4 million hospital improvement project.

In January 1980 NorthWest Medical Foundation merged with Adventist Health, a large health care corporation representing 19 hospitals in their Western Division and 70 hospitals nationwide. The operation of the facility is a partnership between Adventist Health and Tillamook County.

By the 1990′s, in meeting community health care needs, hospital services had outgrown the facility’s available space and significant remodeling was needed to accommodate modern technologies. In September 1996, voters of Tillamook County overwhelmingly approved a $10 million bond levy to upgrade and renovate the facility.

This project, completed in the Fall of 2000, added 25,000 square feet to the existing building and renovated 38,000 square feet. Improvements were made in a number of departments including Emergency, Surgery, Recovery, Outpatient Program, Laboratory and the Birthing Center. Other areas of improvement included replacement of plumbing and electrical, additional air conditioning, increased capacity of emergency generator, expanded fire alarm system and upgrading of the building to meet current earthquake standards.

As a non-profit organization, much of our hospital revenues stay within Tillamook County in the form of purchases and payroll, as well as the reinvestment by Adventist Health in upgrading equipment. Recent technology enhancements include transitioning to all-digital Radiology equipment and the implementation of a hospital-wide electronic medical record system. About $29 million in payroll annually benefits the local economy.

Our hospital participates in numerous national and state quality initiatives, as well a national patient satisfaction benchmarking. Results consistently rank us in the top decile performance. 

As the world of health care continues to advance, the dedicated members of our health care team plan on contributing to high quality medical services and positive growth in Tillamook County.

Tillamook County General Hospital is part of Adventist Health, a faith-based, not-for-profit integrated health care delivery system serving communities in California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington. Our workforce of 28,700 includes more than 21,000 employees; 4,500 medical staff physicians; and 3,000 volunteers. Founded on Seventh-day Adventist health values, Adventist Health provides compassionate care in 19 hospitals, more than 150 clinics (hospital-based, rural health and physician clinics), 14 home care agencies, six hospice agencies and four joint-venture retirement centers. 

Myron L Meters is proud to do business with Adventist Health.

Since 1998, Jentek Water Treatment, Inc. has been providing turnkey water treatment solutions to HVAC, industrial and construction industries. The need for a company with undivided responsibility developed as this challenging industry filled with sales professionals instead of water treatment specialists.

Our associates are professionals in fields such as chemistry, engineering and refrigeration. Jentek specialists demonstrate technical expertise, coupled with mechanical aptitude and an ability to communicate in layman’s terms. Only when associates have successfully implemented all areas of the Jentek Turnkey System, will they be considered water treatment specialists.

Although chemical formulations and controls are very important, excellence is only realized when a total water management program is implemented. Therefore, Jentek invests heavily in continuing education and operator training.

Jentek believes that our company reputation for excellence should be maintained daily. As a result, our technical services are second to none. As we continue to raise the expectations of our industry, it is our hope that you can experience the benefits of the technology wave led by Jentek.

Contact your local Jentek specialist to see if we can improve your water program. Statistics indicate a 98% chance that your company, equipment, processes and employees will experience benefits immediately from initiating Jentek turnkey solutions.

Jentek manufactures and services a full line of cooling water, boiler water and domestic water treatments to control scale, corrosion and biological fouling.

Jentek’s research and development chemists have produced chemical technologies that exceed industry standards for excellence in scale and corrosion technology. The JCT series of cooling water treatments offers synergistic blends of proprietary materials to produce clean heat transfer surfaces with negligible corrosion rates.

Although white rust remains problematic to many galvanized cooling towers, Jentek has developed theJMP series of metal passivating and start-up solutions. Our JMP formulas are extending the life expectancies of cooling towers by protecting them from premature failure.

Diligent control of bacteria, algae, fungi and biofilm is achieved through the use of Jentek’s JBX series of microbiocides and penetrants. The non-oxidizing nature of these chemicals reduces the corrosiveness to system metallurgy when compared to oxidizers such as chlorine and bromine. Alternating biocides provides the most effective means to control bacteria and algae as biocide resistance is minimized. For information regarding Legionnaire’s disease and how to control legionella, contact your Jentek water treatment specialist.

J-Therm formulas provide freeze protection of pipes and coils. Ethylene and propylene glycols are available to accommodate the project’s toxicity tolerances, specific heat transfer and freeze point requirements. J-Therm glycols are available with or without the inclusion of corrosion inhibitors. Concentrate or premixed solutions are available to suit the logistical requirements of the project. Delivery and injection are part of our turnkey services and may be implemented through drummed or bulk delivery options. 

Myron L Meters is proud to do business with Jentek.

One of the Oklahoma City Areas most attractive employment options is the Claremore Service Unit. Situated almost entirely in Oklahomas Green Country, the area is a lovely combination of fertile prairie land to the north and southwest and forest-covered Ozark foothills to the northeast. The Arkansas and Verdigris Rivers flow from northwest to southeast, their many man-made dams impounding 86,000 acres of deep lakes in the area. The natural beauty of the topography combines with a moderate climate to make the region a haven for lovers of the outdoors. The annual average temperature year-round is 60 degrees – on average only 82 degrees in July and 37 degrees in January. The unit encompasses 12 counties and 7,750 square miles. It serves an Indian population of some 63,000 mostly from the Cherokee and Creek tribes, although 15 more tribes are represented as well. Having integrated extensively with the non-Indian population in terms of education, employment, and language, the people served by this unit reflect patterns of illness that largely parallel those of the general Oklahoma population. Claremore, birthplace of Will Rogers and setting of the classic Broadway musical, Oklahoma!, is a town of 20,000 just 21 miles northeast of the very metropolitan city of Tulsa, with a U.S. Census county population of 571,348. Tulsa has a major airport with international flights and destinations in most major U.S. cities, and was ranked in the top 10 southern cities in Southern Living magazine and Fodors Travel Publications as one of its outstanding travel destinations. Tulsas cost of living is 8 percent BELOW the national average and has a County per capita income 11 percent ABOVE the national average. With its heritage captured in several museums and parks, Claremore is a nearly perfect place for families – small enough to allow plenty of time for growing up adjacent to a progressive center of culture, commerce, and higher education and close to an enviable array of healthy recreational outlets.

The hospital at Claremore is a specialty based comprehensive care facility, providing care through nine organized clinical services: community health, dentistry, optometry, emergency medical services, general surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and radiology. All these departments are headed by board-certified or board-eligible chiefs of service, four of whom hold adjacent appointments [as Associate Clinical Professors] with the University of Oklahoma Medical College and Oklahoma State University. The 50-bed facility has been JCAHO-accredited since 1978, just one year after its opening. Each year the thirty-six staff physicians and approximately 80 contract physicians admit about 1500 patients, deliver 400 babies, perform 1650 surgical procedures and attend nearly 155,000 outpatient visits. An equivalent number of outpatient visits are handled by other professional and paraprofessional hospital employees. The six-bed intensive and coronary care unit is fully equipped with sophisticated monitoring instruments. In addition, the facility has recently added state of the art CAT Scan equipment and trained staff to provide better and more timely clinical services. Following the general philosophy of the Indian Health Service, the hospital employs a team approach to disease prevention, management, and treatment. A salient example is the diabetes program which coordinates the expertise of a team of professionals, including a physician, a nurse practitioner, a nutritionist, a physical therapist, and a nurse educator – all concentrating their disciplines upon the growing problem of diabetes. The pharmacy has both anticoagulation and lipid clinics of national recognition. The pharmacy-based referral clinics manage most of the hospitals patients that require anticoagulation therapy or lipid management. This rapid-paced hospital maintains academic affiliations with six teaching institutions, hosting trainees in nursing, dentistry, physician assistance, family practice, and pharmacy. Medical students and resident physicians have the opportunity to perform clinical rotations on nearly every clinical service in the facility.

Myron L Meters is proud to do business with Claremore Indian Hospital.

Alta Devices was founded in 2007 and is focused on making solar power cost competitive with fossil fuels and accessible anywhere the sun shines. Using a variety of proprietary manufacturing techniques and a unique approach to device design, Alta has invented the world’s thinnest and highest efficiency solar cells. Alta’s flexible cells hold the world records for cell and module efficiency, and are ideal for incorporating into roofing and building materials, providing power for air and ground transportation, enabling cost effective distributed and off–grid power generation, and for deployment in utility scale solar farms. Alta is currently a development stage company and has received venture capital funding from August Capital, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Crosslink Capital, AIMCo and others. The company is based in Sunnyvale, CA.

We’ve always considered efficiency, which is a measure of how much of the sun’s energy is converted to electricity, to be the most important aspect of solar cell performance.  In fact, our company is founded on the basic principle that very high efficiency solar cells are the single most important lever in reducing the overall cost of solar electricity.  This is because most of the costs of a solar power plant, including the modules, the land, labor, hardware and wiring are directly proportional to the physical size of the plant.  Given this large fixed cost, increasing the amount of energy generated per unit area decreases the cost of the electricity produced.  Simply put, higher efficiency solar cells deliver more energy per unit area, dividing down the costs associated with the power plant and resulting in lower cost electricity.

About a year and a half ago, Alta began producing solar cells with efficiencies that exceeded the existing world records for these types of cells.  In fact, our highest performing cells routinely exceed 28%.  However, to be useful, these cells need to be packaged in environmentally protective modules, introducing optical losses due to reflections and other mechanisms. So we are especially proud that we have recently delivered solar modules incorporating our technology with efficiencies of 23.5%.  This establishes a new world record, certified by the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) for the highest efficiency solar modules ever produced.

Alta’s technology has the potential to herald in a new era where solar electricity is cost competitive with all types of energy generation, without the need for government subsidies.

As one of the largest greenhouse growers and shippers in North America, Eurofresh Farms is infinitely aware of the importance of sustaining our mother Earth. Since our company was founded in 1992, we have been conscientious about protecting and preserving our environment and have implemented numerous ways to conserve and improve the environment within our eco-friendly farming practices.

Eurofresh embraces a strong commitment to growing great tasting “Certified Pesticide Free” tomatoes while also practicing water and land conservation. We continue to research additional ways to invest in the health and well-being of our planet, its people and its resources.

We have six areas of focus where we feel we can have the greatest impact in sustaining our planet: producing pesticide free products, conserving land and water, food safety, reducing our carbon footprint, our “life cycle approach” to packaging, and our dedication to employees.

Eurofresh Farms products are all greenhouse grown, which greatly reduces land usage and is 10 times more productive than open field cultivation. Greenhouse growing ensures optimal environmental conditions and provides the perfect mix of nutrients for our plants, yielding the highest quality produce.  Because our plants grow high on a wire, they are about three times denser than field grown tomatoes.

Eurofresh’s greenhouse environment is ideal for water conservation.  Greenhouse growing uses just one-third the amount of water of field grown crops. Our plants receive just the right amount of nutrient-rich water and any un-used water from the plants is recycled, sterilized and reused to ensure quality and safety.

We exercise soil-free growing practices, predominately using rockwool, within our clean, sanitary, indoor greenhouse environments, which helps to control diseases. Eurofresh is currently evaluating the use of coco peat (a by-product of coconut husks) as a more eco friendly alternative.

Myron L Meters is proud to do business with Eurofresh.
