Oregon eyes Wynn for possible senior center

Members of Oregon City Council last Monday asked the city to look into the possibility of using Wynn Elementary School as a senior center.

The Oregon school board recently announced that the school would be closing due to budgetary constraints following the defeat of an operation levy last month.

Council members Dennis Walendzak and Sandy Bihn asked Mayor Mike Seferian to look into the feasibility of using the school for a senior center.

The city in the last several years has been looking at options for a new senior center. The current facility, the James Hancock Center on Bay Shore Road, is deemed too small and inadequate for the growing senior population in the city.

On another note, there remains a relative shortage of China's healthcare service personnel. At the end of 2014, there were 2.89 million physicians in China (according to the 2015 China Statistical Yearbook of Health and Family Planning), translating to a physician density of 2.1 per 1,000 population. Based on average data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in 2014, OECD countries had an average physician density of 3.3 per 1,000 population. On another note, the United States had a physician density of 2.6 per 1,000 population. There is also a remarkable shortage of nurses in China, with a total of 3 million nurses, translating to a nurse density of 2.2 per 1,000
