SEDCOR joins economic development groups in opposing IP 28 The SEDCOR Board of Directors voted unanimously in May to oppose Initiative Petition 28 (IP28), the largest tax increase in Oregon history. Proposed by Oregon’s public employee unions, IP28 would impose a significant new gross receipts tax on products and services sold by Oregon employers.

SEDCOR joined a broad coalition working to defeat the damaging tax scheme, including Oregon Economic Development Association, Oregon Economic Development Association, Southern Oregon Regional Economic Development Inc., Greater Portland Inc. and Economic Development for Central Oregon.

The Legislative Revenue Office (LRO), a nonpartisan arm of the state, released a report on IP28 with concerns about the impacts of such a dramatic change to the tax structure. “There is very little empirical evidence on how state economies respond to such large changes because they rarely occur at the state level.” the report started. “The concentrated impact of the measure on a relatively few large taxpayers creates strong incentives for difficult to predict revenue reducing corporate tax planning strategies.”

IP28 is forecasted to raise $5.3 billion per biennium through a tax on the gross receipts of businesses whose sales total $25 million per year.

Approximately 1,000 businesses in Oregon will be responsible for paying this new tax, and its impacts will be felt throughout the supply chain to the consumer. Oregonians earning between $21,000 and $48,000 will feel the greatest effect of these higher costs, according to the LRO. More than 66 percent of the increase is expected to fall on the 100 largest taxpayers. Utilities, retail and wholesale trade sectors will see the largest increase in taxes, with health care and social assistance following. The state’s business tax rate as a percentage of income would rise above California’s and the national average.

The report estimates that 38,220 jobs will be lost in the private sector if the tax passes.

The Mid-Willamette Valley Health Services Industry

A dynamic-and very personal-economic driver

Chad Freeman SEDCOR President

Healthcare is incredibly dynamic. Shifts and adjustments are happening every day in this industry, and political pundits have enjoyed a hayday over the past decade as lawmakers have grappled for power and “Obamacare” has made its way into everyday conversation. While the political discussion has heated and cooled, the “silver tsunami” of aging baby boomers and the growing demands of the Millennial generation have driven significant market changes in this fascinating industry.

The Mid-Willamette Valley is no exception. Local

Every business is directly impacted by health care.

With the cost of health insurance continuing to rise dramatically, employers face painful decisions of how to manage these costs so that we can still provide the best healthcare for our families and employees and still stay in business.

Consolidation, costs and world-class care Mid-Valley health industry in dynamic position as affiliations drive opportunities for improvements, new options

by James Day

The three C’s seem to be ruling the Mid-Willamette Valley health industry these days: consolidation, costs and care.

The industry is in the midst of consolidation, with Salem Health and Oregon Health & Science University teaming up to form OSHU Partners and Silverton Health entering into an affiliation with Legacy Health.

“The need for consolidation is an industry-wide trend, requiring organizations to work together to control costs, improve quality and create healthy communities,” said Cheryl Nester Wolfe, president and chief executive officer of Salem Health. Wolfe called the merger “a distinct affiliation model that allows us to manage our respective clinical services as an integrated health system while still being independently governed by our respective boards of directors.”

Sarah Fronza, president of Legacy Silverton Medical Center, said that her organization is “now enhanced with affiliation.”

“We are thrilled about this partnership because of what it means for both organizations, and for what it will bring to our communities,” Fronza said. “With a shared vision for innovation we look forward to discovering new ways to improve population health, while reducing the cost of care and increasing access.”

Fronza noted that Legacy has committed to investing $60 million in the Silverton operation during the next eight years.

“This allows us to offer a broader range of health care throughout the region, giving people more options through Legacy’s family of specialized services.”

Time of change All of this consolidation comes at a crucial period for health care, mid-valley health industry officials said.

“Health care is in the biggest change moment I’ve seen in my career,” Wolfe said. “The pent-up demand for health care made visible through the Affordable Care Act is impacting the health care industry, including hospitals. We all need to refine and adjust what we do in order to adapt to change, yet continue

Kaiser Permanent officials noted some immediate challenges.

“A key concern of ours and that state regulators are surely monitoring is the stability of the marketplace,” said Kaiser Permanent’s Phil Taylor, patient team manager, and Deborah Sailor, mid-valley physician services area director who teamed up in an email exchange with Enterprise. “At question is how, as a state, we balance affordability with access and plan choice for consumers. In 2017, only three insurers will offer plans in Lane County, down from seven this year. Rate increases proposed by those three insurers hover around 20 to 30 percent. In Central and Eastern Oregon only two insurers remain. While our marketplace has had a challenging start, choice and healthy competition will ultimately improve health care for everyone and we remain committed to being part of the solution.”

Cost innovations “Affordability is a key focus in the industry,” Taylor and Sailer wrote and all of the major players in the Mid-Valley have implemented new initiatives in this area.

–Salem Health’s Wolfe noted her operation’s focus on “population management” and a collaboration called Propel Health that works to provide additional resources for community-based primary care and attempts to manage patient loads outside of the hospital framework.

Salem Health, Wolfe added, also uses Lean management and financial methods to “improve processes, improve outcomes and decrease costs.”

–Kaiser Permanente offers “virtual care access,” a system that uses email, telephone calls and video visits which are more convenient – and less costly – than traditional office appointments.

–Fronza with Legacy Silverton said that the new affiliation offers opportunities to “integrate our care delivery system.” Areas of collaboration include shared information technology, telemedicine, Enterprise Summer 2016 5

HEALTH CARE SECTOR continued from page 5 clinical protocols, comprehensive quality improvement activities and specialty services and consultation.

“The major players in health care are our patients,” Fronza said. “Keeping the patient at the center of our work is essential, and the number one priority for doing our job well.”

Taylor and Sailer of Kaiser Permanente agreed.

“Consumers are more engaged than ever in their health care,” they said, adding that they offer an online cost estimator and expressed pride in the prevention focus of their Lifestyles Medicine Clinic in Salem.

“We don’t think of health care as something limited to a hospital setting,” said Wolfe of Salem Health, who stressed the importance of local providers.

“Health care is in the biggest change moment I’ve seen in my career.” ­ Cheryl Nester Wolfe President/CEO Salem Health Salem Health is a Magnet® hospital. That means it is ranked in the top seven percent of hospitals nationally and must continually improve to retain Magnet® status.

Workforce issues The industry also faces challenges in employee recruiting, with officials stressing the need to be responsive to employee needs as well as patient needs.

“There’s certainly a lot of competition for talent in the health care industry,” said Taylor and Sailer of Kaiser Permanente.

“We know, for example, that the demand for registered nurses is expected to grow almost 20 percent between now and 2022.

Kaiser Permanente, like many other providers, is always actively looking for experienced candidates.

we know health care professionals are looking for higher pay, greater work/life balance and a well-defined career path, and we work hard to respond to those desires so we’re in a position to attract people who’ll meet the high standards of our organization.”

Kaiser Permanente also hosts its own recruiting events, has extensive internship and externship programs, offers scholarships to Salem-area high school seniors, has a residency partnership with OHSU and mentors doctors of osteopathic medicine and students and residents with Samaritan Health Services.

Legacy Silverton’s Fronza said the industry “is experiencing a shortage of primary care providers and that is a challenge.

Fortunately, we offer unique benefits that many providers are looking for: to work for an organization that is innovative, supportive of providers and committed to the communities it serves; and to live, play and work in a small town with an outstanding school system, and the convenience and beauty of the Mid-Willamette Valley.”

Wolfe agreed on the importance of place, noting that the region “offers a desirable place to live and raise a family, yet is close enough to Portland to enjoy the offerings of a large metropolitan city.”

Salem Health’s Magnet® status, Wolfe said, is a boon to recruiting. “Nurses and physicians are attracted to Magnet® hospitals because of the continual focus on high-quality patient care.”

Consolidation-there’s that word again-also helps, Wolfe said. “Our affiliation with OHSU,” she said, “will make it possible to create academic education programs here to address recruitment and training needs in the Mid-Valley.”

And there is a flip side to the recruitment question, said Sherryll Johnson Hoar, a strategic communications administrator with Salem Health.

“I do think the fact that Salem Health is really a metropolitan hospital in a city this size is something that could be of value to businesses considering locating here,” she said.

SALEM HEALTH SALEM, OREGON

History Salem Health has provided care to Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley since 1896. In 2015, Salem Health and Oregon Health & Science University joined their clinical care services and created OHSU Partners, a joint management company. Our hospital in Salem is a Magnet®-recognized, regional referral facility and one of the largest acute-care facilities in Oregon. Salem Health West Valley in Dallas is a critical access hospital.

What are your product or service lines, and what is your service territory?

Salem Health serves patients across Marion, Polk, Benton, Lincoln and Yamhill counties. Salem Health has two hospitals and numerous medical clinics. Services include cardiac, adult and neonatal intensive care; adult psychiatry; back pain; bariatric surgery; birth center; cancer; emergency and urgent care; family medicine; heart care; imaging; infusion; joint replacement; nutrition therapy; occupational medicine; palliative care; pediatrics; rehabilitation; sleep; stroke and womens’ health.

How many people do you employ within Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties?

Salem Health is the largest private employer in Marion and Polk counties, with more than 4,500 staff. There are 673 practitioners on the active medical staff at the Salem hospital and 76 at Salem Health West Valley. More than 460 people provide nonmedical support as volunteers.

What differentiates your organization from others in the health services industry here?

• Salem Health’s emergency department is a Level II trauma center and the busiest in Oregon.

• The Salem hospital is Magnet® Recognized, one of only five in Oregon.

• Commitment to Lean methods for continuous improvement has led to strong financial performance.

• Affiliation with Oregon Health & Sciences University gives our patients direct access to the advanced clinical services of an academic medical center.

population challenge health systems to find new ways to help keep people healthy and control costs. Our affiliation with OHSU, integrating our clinical enterprises to form a new health system, aims to build a sustainable, communitybased approach to care that will improve quality, create better outcomes and reduce costs for patients.

Highlight a new technology or innovation you’re using, and how it’s helping your customers.

Salem Health was an early adopter of electronic medical records. Patients have access to their information through MyChart. Our occupational medicine service has the devices and staff to tailor treatment to return workers to their jobs. A new harness system helps people learn how to walk safely, and radial cath technology shortens the length of time for heart catheterization and returns patients to normal activities sooner.

What are the types of businesses in your supply chain?

We contract with medical/surgical businesses for implantable devices, disposable catheters, dressings, and other items. Our distribution contracts are for medical and surgical products, pharmaceuticals, laboratory products, and dietary and nutrition products. When we have hard-to-fill medical positions we contract with specialized staffing agencies. We purchase furniture, contract for record storage, contract for construction work, and carry subcontracts for other facilities-related work. We also contract with a number of financial and auditing firms.

How is the Mid-Willamette Valley a great community for your organization?

Providers we recruit to the community tell us the area is attractive to them because of the small town feel and family-oriented culture, without the traffic and high housing prices of a bigger city. However, Salem’s proximity to Portland offers access to many amenities within an hour’s drive. The OHSU Partners affiliation also enables physicians to live in this area but still get access to a wellrespected academic medical center.

PROFILE

ASSISTED LIVING SOLUTIONS SALEM, OREGON History Assisted Living Solutions (ALS) opened in January 2006 and is the oldest senior placement and referral service operating in the Mid-Willamette Valley. Owner John Kaiser is the area’s most experienced and most trusted long-term care advisor with over sixteen years in the industry.

What are your product or service lines, and what is your service territory?

We offer each individual comprehensive, long term care transition counseling, placement and professional referral services. And we work on the client’s schedule and availability, in the comfort of their own home, office, or at bedside. Our service area includes Marion, Polk, Yamhill, Benton and Linn counties in Oregon and we are affiliated with senior care advisor networks across Oregon and the United States.

How many people do you employ within Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties?

By design, John Kaiser is the business founder, owner and sole employee at Assisted Living Solutions. Much of the necessary small business support services are outsourced to a variety of Salem area firms.

What differentiates your organization from others in the health services industry here?

Our years in business here in the Willamette Valley, our holistic approach to client and family support services and—most important—our knowledge, accessibility, compassion and patience. Generally speaking, ALS works outside the front door of the various medical establishments where counseling and guidance is needed most. Our work compliments and enhances the efforts of clinic care managers and hospital social workers.

How are your customers/communities changing, and how are you adapting to these changes?

In the last three years there has been an expanding

awareness and reliance on senior care advisor support services. The referral and placement agency industry is still in its infancy and we often hear people say they were unaware such services existed.

With the implementation of “Obamacare” and its various medical accountability aspects, there is more pressure on medical providers to find solutions to recurring patient health problems. In the past, patients were simply referred from one specialist to another and the results were oftentimes less than satisfactory.

Highlight a new technology or innovation you’re using, and how it’s helping your customers.

Websites, search engine optimization, electronic health records, CRM systems and cellphones all play an integral part in ALS success. The ability to be in business everywhere at any time is an invaluable strength and asset.

What are the types of businesses in your supply chain?

Local elder law and trust attorneys, legal guardians, certified financial planners, hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies, care consultants and LCSWs, in-home care companies, home health organizations, senior transport companies, senior care communities, technology and communications support, and more.

How is the Mid-Willamette Valley a great community for your organization?

The family roots in this region go deep. Kids care about their parents, and doctors care about their patients. There is a palatable sense of community in the Willamette Valley.

It is a privilege to live here and be able to guide individuals and families to the care resources they need.

KAISER PERMANENTE NORTHWEST SALEM, OREGON

History Kaiser Permanente’s history in the region goes back to the medical group established to serve workers and their families during construction of Grand Coulee Dam in northeastern Washington in the late 1930s. During World War II, those physicians served workers and their families at the Kaiser shipyards in Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash. When the shipyards closed in 1945, enrollment was opened to the community. Kaiser Permanente has served Salem-area residents since the 1980s.

What are your product or service lines, and what is your service territory?

We provide medical and dental care and health plans in Oregon and SW Washington, from as far south as Lane County, Ore., to as far north as Cowlitz County, Wash.

Recently we also acquired Group Health in Seattle. We offer health plans to individuals and families as well as businesses. Our Medicare plan received a 5-star rating for the fifth year in a row, and is the highest rated plan in Oregon and Washington.

How many people do you employ within Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties?

We have 600 employees in a variety of medical and administrative roles, including 40 primary care physicians and 70 specialty care clinicians serving the Mid-Valley across the spectrum of most medical and surgical specialties.

Kaiser Permanente physicians Dr. Caroline King and Dr. Deborah Sailler at this year’s Awesome 3000.

Kaiser Permanente’s Skyline Medical Office, at 5125 Skyline Road South.

What differentiates your organization from others in the health services industry here?

Kaiser Permanente is differentiated by our integrated system that combines care and coverage. We also integrate dental and medical care, and have a unique focus on prevention and wellness. Our members benefit from our connected system, where all of their clinicians are working in concert - aided by HealthConnect, our electronic health information system – to ensure they’re receiving the best possible care.

How are your customers/communities changing, and how are you adapting to these changes?

People are increasingly taking an active role in their care experience, and tend to be more informed when they arrive at their appointment. They are more engaged in their care, which can lead to better health outcomes. They also expect health care to be as easy as other consumer services they use, so we give them tools like the ability to schedule appointments online, email their doctor, and receive their prescriptions by mail.

Highlight a new technology or innovation you’re using, and how it’s helping your customers.

We’re excited to offer our members virtual care options, which allow them to see or speak to a clinician via phone or video. For example, we now offer video visits for Urgent Care, and are beginning to offer video visits with our primary care physicians as well. Our members tell us they love the flexibility and convenience of having an appointment from their home or workplace, as it saves them a trip to the doctor’s office.

How is the Mid-Willamette Valley a great community for your organization?

We love being a part of this community. Our motto is “Thrive” and that’s something people here do to the fullest!

We also enjoy giving back, through our Community Benefit initiatives and employee involvement. For example, we had over 35 volunteers at SKEF’s Awesome 3000 this year. www.sedcor.com

INTERVIEW

LEGACY SILVERTON MEDICAL CENTER SILVERTON, OREGON

This spring, Silverton Health and Legacy Health signed an affiliation agreement. Enterprise magazine interviewed Rita Baiocco Kester, Silverton Health’s Communications Marketing Director, to learn more about the transition.

Talk about your history.

Silverton Health has long roots in the Mid-Willamette Valley, going back to 1918 when Silverton Hospital was founded. Since then we have grown to include clinics in Silverton, Mt. Angel, Woodburn and Keizer. Today, Silverton Health is part of Legacy Health. We are excited to be part of a larger system that stretches from the Valley north to Vancouver, Washington. Legacy Health now includes seven medical centers counting the renamed Legacy Silverton Medical Center, and has 12,000 employees.

How did the partnership come about?

Silverton and Legacy came together to expand our shared mission of good health for our communities. The partnership is a fit for both organizations for many reasons, most importantly, our shared values about caring for our people, our patients and our communities.

What does this partnership mean for the community?

Our partnership means we will offer a broader range of health care. It strengthens both organizations, which are locally run and have a history of supporting the community,

Mike Newcomb, DO, Chief Operating Officer, Legacy Health and Sarah Fronza, Chief Administrative Officer, Legacy Silverton Medical Center celebrate the affiliation of Silverton Health and Legacy Health.

which will continue. The partnership benefits the Silverton Health community because it gives people more options through Legacy’s family of specialized services, including Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, which provides the region’s most advanced care for children and teens.

What changes will we see?

The most obvious change is our name. Silverton Hospital will now be known as Legacy Silverton Medical Center, becoming the seventh hospital in the Legacy family. Our clinics and facilities will also carry the Legacy Health name.

What won’t change is patients will continue to see the same providers in the same locations and receive the same great care. Local governance will remain in place for the hospital and the foundation.

What are you looking forward to most?

Legacy Health has pledged $60 million to support and grow programs and services for Silverton. We’re looking forward to finding shared ways to increase access and improve population health while reducing the cost of care.

We also provide private duty services like medication assistance, bathing and grooming, meals, transportation, laundry, shopping and more.

How many people do you employ within Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties?

We employ approximately 200 people.

What differentiates your organization from others in the health services industry here?

As a local, family owned and operated company, we live in and care about this community. The fact that we provide both skilled services and in-home personal care and lifeline services separates us from others. We also provide a “free” service called “transition coaches” who share resources

With baby boomers we see a huge increase and demand for home health services. Hospitals are pushing people out sooner, so we are treating many things that would have been dealt with in the hospitals. We have a continuous hiring process and keep our clinicians trained to address the new challenges clients face.

Highlight a new technology or innovation you’re using, and how it’s helping your customers.

We were the first home health company in the U.S. and remain the only company in Oregon to incorporate Postural Restoration Therapy into the home care setting. This is an advanced technique that our therapists have been trained to administer. Primarily only used in the outpatient setting, we adapted it to home health and are seeing great results.

What are the types of businesses in your service/supply chain?

Hospitals, skilled nursing, assisted living, residential care, adult care homes, home health, hospice, in home care, durable medical equipment, infusion companies, physicians.

How is the Mid-Willamette Valley a great community for your organization?

We take great pride in helping our local community and being a part of the healing in our patients’ lives. We strive to make First Call a great place to work, so our employees know they are important to us, and therefore do their best for those we serve. Because we’re locally owned, we employ local people so profits remain in the community.

Mid-Willamette Economic Development Team Hits California to Grow Food Processing Industry Back Home Officials from SEDCOR, Business Oregon, the Team Oregon Food Processing group from Oregon Economic Development Association and a number of Oregon food companies headed to the 36th annual Natural Products Expo West this spring to attract food processors to Oregon and promote Oregon companies and goods.

More than 80 Oregon firms exhibited at the show, including these Mid-Willamette Valley companies: • Betty Lou’s Inc., McMinnville

• Oregon Fruit Products, Salem

• Dundee Fruit Company, Dundee

• Republic of Jam, Carlton

• Kettle Foods, Inc., Salem • Mt. Angel Vitamins, Mt. Angel

• Truitt Bros., Inc., Salem • Truitt Family Foods, Inc., Salem

• Oregon Cherry Growers, Salem Natural Products Expo West is the world’s largest event devoted to natural and specialty foods and beverages, organics, supplements, health and beauty, natural living and pet products.

“Natural and healthy food products continue to be growing markets that Mid-Willamette Valley companies strongly sell in to,” said Chad Freeman, President of SEDCOR. “The Expo is the perfect venue to showcase some of the key companies in our region.”

Food trends impacting the market Organizers identified six consumer trends influencing the marketplace this year: • Ancient Wisdom: Brands continue to innovate by producing simple, delicious products that “take minimal processing to new levels” and contain lists of nutrient-dense ingredients.

• Transcendent Transparency: Consumers increasingly demand to know what is in their food. Brands are responding by using technology to provide greater transparency and traceability for their products.

• Snackification: Convenience, taste, and nutritional value have proved invaluable to an on-the-go consumer culture.

• The Rehabilitation of Science: Food and nutrition are now more than an embrace of natural products – they are addressing societal concerns and regaining lost consumer confidence.

• Feed Me: Natural products companies have approached the rising global population challenge by innovating sourcing, plant-based nutrition, and food waste reduction.

• The Value(s) Shopper: Business models placing new emphases on purpose-driven products; shopping is no longer just about price.

SEDCOR Board Tackles Top Economic Development Opportunities The SEDCOR Board of Directors descended on the Chemeketa Center for Business and Industry in March. The traditional meeting included a report from SEDCOR President Chad Freeman highlighting the newly formatted Annual Report; a successful Ag Breakfast in February; and plans for ENVISION 2016.

Less than traditional, however, was the unique collaborative session held after lunch. The board divided itself into three task force groups. Directors Randy Stockdale, Foundation Director at Silverton Health, Polk County Commissioner Craig Pope, and Mark Hoyt, Partner at Sherman Sherman Johnnie & Hoyt LLP led the three teams. Board members engaged in lively discussion.

Supporting economic development in the region Stockdale’s focus was on future leader development and growing support for economic development through membership. “I was personally thrilled with how many wanted to participate in the membership discussion and the enthusiasm they displayed,” stated Stockdale. “Membership dues help pay the bills, but the number of businesses supporting the organization speaks to the influence and impact SEDCOR can have.”

This task force came up with a list of objectives, then met in April to set goals, time frames, and assignments geared toward increasing dues paying membership, inspiring current member engagement, and achieving greater awareness among future board members.

Silverton Health Foundation Director Randy Stockdale leads the SEDCOR Board’s Membership Development Task Force.

Developing infrastructure for rural employers “It is essential that we have an occasional conversation about infrastructure priorities that would support the economic development mission of our members,” said Commissioner Pope, who led the rural infrastructure task force.

He noted that greater understanding is needed for the next step.

Looking ahead, one of the assets SEDCOR can work with is the Mill Creek Corporate Center in Salem, the largest available shovel-ready land in the state. Already home to facilities for Home Depot and FedEx, within three miles of I-5, it’s primed to help drive economic development in the region for years to come.”

The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis found that Salem MSA’s elevated youth population means the area’s workforce could grow faster than other regions, reported the Oregonian newspaper.

“Salem is in the midst of a job-growth boom that hasn’t been seen in 25 years,” said senior economist Josh Lehner, a senior economist who wrote the report.

“Salem is projected to significantly outperform the rest of the state when it comes to future labor force growth, based on the demographics and our office’s population forecast. In fact, Polk County ranks 1st and Marion County ranks 7th best among the state’s 36 counties.”

Legislature Approves $7.5 Million Towards Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center

CTEC receives $1 million in city funding, up from $50k City of Salem’s Urban Renewal Agency Board has approved a $1 million grant to help expand the Career and Technical Education Center. The grant will help with design, engineering, and construction of building and site improvements this year to add Culinary Arts and Agricultural Sciences to the school’s program. This boost allows CTEC to benefit from Federal New market Tax Credits, which could support the project with another $3 million.

The Oregon Legislature announced in May the approval and release of $7.5 million toward the creation of the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center (OMIC), a co-located research and development (R&D) center and training center in Columbia County. The business launch of the center is slated to begin in 2017.

OMIC will augment the region’s metals, machinery and manufacturing industry and train the next advanced manufacturing

workforce. It will also support the retention and expansion of existing companies through the capabilities of an R&D center and the skilled talent from a training center.

Based on the Advanced Manufacturing and Research Center in Sheffield UK, OMIC will be the first of its kind in the U.S. The center is a partnership of industry, higher education, and government. Oregon Institute of Technology will purchase an existing building that will serve as the R&D center, with Boeing, Oregon State University and Portland State University and regional industrial partners as anchor tenants. Portland Community College will create the training center, which will focus on serving students through industry sponsored skilled apprenticeships. Higher education institutions will develop and support pathways to advanced careers in engineering and advanced manufacturing.

Stayton Industrial Arts Investments Extend High School Grads’ Options

18 Enterprise Summer 2016

© 2016 Pacific Power

North Santiam School District (NSSD) in Stayton is proving that quality higher education options are not just for college-bound high school seniors. School district Superintendent Andy Gardner recognizes many students’ desires for learning experiences that cannot be harnessed through the traditional college route.

Instead of dealing a budget cut blow to its robust industrial arts programs, North Santiam School District is expanding opportunities for students to affordably work alongside instructors and professionals who teach all aspects of construction, including bidding and procurement.

NSSD will introduce home construction and industry internships as well as expansions to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) pathway before the next school year. Students who achieve college level credit have been shown to have higher self-confidence, save thousands in college tuition, and lead more “profoundly impacted” lives. “…we see the North Santiam School District as one of the critical community assets to meet [challenges] and ensure that Stayton, Sublimity, Lyons, and Mehama remain healthy and vibrant places to work,” Gardner told The Stayton Mail newspaper in March.

Gardner cites SEDCOR, the local business community, and the Stayton-Sublimity Chamber of Commerce as critical players in the success of the school district’s career-training program. Gardner and Stayton High School Principal Alan Kirby have formed an Industrial Arts Advisory Board in order to prepare Stayton High School administrators and staff for the expansion of student pathway options. The board consists of seventeen school district, Stayton High School, and local business leaders including Nick Harville, SEDCOR’s Business Retention and Expansion Manager for Marion County, as well as Randy Bentz, SEDCOR member NORPAC Foods Inc.’s Technical Services Manager.

“SEDCOR is here to help its members as well as regional businesses succeed and grow, and part of that is securing a skilled workforce,” says Harville. SEDCOR is proud to share its industrydriven skills development program, Industrial Maintenance Operator/Mechanic Training Program (IMOM), with NSSD in order for students to gain hirable skillsets for any industry.
