John Nadone, chief finan-
cial officer at Plumas Dis-
trict Hospital (PDH), ten-
dered his resignation last
Monday, effective May 20.
Soon after, he will begin
work with the California
Hospital Associati6n (CHA)
as vice president of finance
policy. He will be responsible
for providing leadership on
state administrative and reg-
ulatory issues related to
health care finance.
The association represents
nearly 400 California hospi-
tals and health systems in
legislative, regulatory and
legal matters at the state and
federal levels.
Nadone, who has been with
PDH 5-1/2 years, said, "I've
enjoyed working here. We've
made great gains in the hos-
pital's financial status.
"This is a change in my ca-
reer. I've always been on the
hospital side for the benefit
of the hospital, now I'll be
working to benefit all hospi-
tals (in California)."
During his tenure at PDH,
Nadone has worked to put
the hospital in the black, the
only one of the county's three
hospitals to consistently
achieve this status: He was
instrumental in achieving
"critical access hospital" sta-
tus for PDH, resulting in im-
proved MediCal and
Medicare re imbursement.
In addition, Nadone im-
proved the hospital's cash
position with reductions in
the number of outstanding
days in accounts receivable
and payables, measures of
fiscal health.
Linda Jameson, interim
chief executive officer, said,
"I'm losing my right-hand
man. I've loved working
with John and will miss his
confidence and leadership.
This is a great opportunity
for him."
District board president Va-
lerie Flannigan said, "John
has done an excellent job for
PDH and will be sorely
missed. He has an opportunity
that will be interesting and
exciting for him and his fam-
ily and we wish him the very
best."
For the immediate future,
Jameson said Controller
Cindy Crosslin would be-
come the interim finance di-
rector until the position is
filledpermanently. Jameson
also said the position would
be posted internally and on
the hospital website.

Licensed Clinical Social
Worker Adriana Uken has
joined the staff at Plumas
District Hospital. She pro-
vides counseling services
on Tuesdays and Wednes-
days in the North Fork
Family Medicine Building
on Valley View Drive in
Quincy. Uken can help pa-
tients confront a wide vari-
ety of issues that adversely
affect their lives, such as
anxiety, depression, family
problems, relationship is-
sues and health-related and
pain management con-
cerns.
Uken uses the solution-
focused therapy method.
"Solution-focused therapy
differs from traditional
therapies in that it focuses
on solutions, rather than
on the problem that
prompted someone to seek
therapy." She adds,
"leather than focusing on
what my client doesn't
want in their life, I help
them to focus on what they
wish for. After establishing
a goal of what they want,
the client can begin to
build a bridge from today
to their desired future."
Uken has been a resident
of Plumas County since
1973. She earned her mas-
ter's in social work from
the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor. She spent 27
years with the Plumas
County Mental Health De-
partment. Uken travels in-
ternationally, training oth-
er professionals in the use
of solution-focused therapy.
To schedule an appoint-
ment with Uken, call the
North Fork Family Medical
Clinic at 283-5640.
