"With health care in Califor- nia, and across the nation, fac- ing new challenges every day, this agreement allows us to fo- cus, improve and advance pa- tient care for this community," said Dr. Kimberli Frantz, exec- utive director with Lassen Med- ical Group. The focus of the partnership is to provide continuity of pri- mary care to Tehama County, said Amy Gonczeruk, market- ing manager for the hospital. It is not a takeover or merger but a collaboration. There will not be any changes to what insurance plans are ac- cepted, Gonczeruk said. The doctors will remain in place at Lassen and within their respec- tive insurance networks. Lassen evaluated many pro- spective partners, the release said, and Dignity Health met the criteria as a suitable part- ner. "We are aiming for the end of the summer but projects this large take time so that is an es- timate at this point," Gonczeruk said. It is not known yet whether the name of the medical group will change following the part- nership, Gonczeruk said. The partnership will sup- port the existing management team, the employees and the more than 30 providers in their mission to deliver needed care to more than 60,000 area resi- dents, the release said. "We have been a long-stand- ing partner to Lassen Medical Group and recognize the valu- able care they provide to the community and that is why we are committed to seeing the leg- acy of care continue through our agreement," said Todd Smith, president of St. Elizabeth. "Our united vision and mission will accomplish more for Tehama County residents." HEALTH CARE HOSPITAL, PHYSICIANS GROUP TO FORM A PARTNERSHIP CHIPTHOMPSON—DAILYNEWS Lassen Medical Group.

The 23 athletes stopped in Corning Monday at the First United Presbyterian Church af- ter a 100-mile run up from Wood- land. Individual runners are as- signed partners and run between 6 and 16 miles each day. As a team they complete each day's total mileage. The athletes are one of six teams that ride or run across the country in a 4,000-mile trip. This team, which will be going from San Francisco to New York City, has raised $760,000 for the Ul- man foundation this year. The directors of the event, Kristyn Valentine, recent grad- uate from Loyola University in Maryland, and Allison Perrine, a graduate from Washington State University, were two of the many who organized the event, mapped out the runs for the athletes and participated in the run. The Ulman Cancer Fund started in 1997 after Doug Ul- man, a sophomore at Brown University at the time, was di- agnosed with cancer at the age of 19, Perrine said. He felt there wasn't enough research out there for young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer and the unique challenges they face. 4K FOR CANCER Ru nn er s cr os si ng t he c ou nt ry f or a g oo d ca us e HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS Corning's First United Presbyterian Church hosted these 23athletes from all over the country Monday a er a run from Woodland.
