Baker County officials are considering privatizing management and staffing of Baker High School’s school-based health clinic.

The reason for the proposed change, county Health Department administrator Debbie Hoopes said, is that the county sometimes has difficulty finding a primary care provider to staff the clinic the state-required 10 hours per week minimum.

A Baker City boy who’ll turn 6 Saturday is in a Boise hospital after being diagnosed with what is thought to be the first Oregon case of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a rare polio-like illness that causes paralysis.

Hudson Grey Zednik, the son of Shakira and Frank Zednik of Baker City, became ill and complained of severe back and neck pain on Oct. 2, said Hudson’s grandmother and Shakira’s mother, Linda Bjorklund of Baker City.

The boy was taken to St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Baker City on Oct. 2. He was fine the day before, but within 24 hours he had become very sick, Bjorklund said.

Fifty people in 24 states had been confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to have AFM from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31 of this year, according to the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/acute-flaccid-myelitis. Hudson is the 51st and the first in Oregon, Bjorklund said.
