Ector County eyes cost cuts in out of county autopsies
The El Paso pathologist will not accept out of county cases and the Lubbock office is shutting, forcing east of El Paso and west of Interstate 35 counties to ship bodies to Fort Worth Austin or Corpus Christi. Travel costs for pathologists and hotel bills if trials run long add to expenses while Odessa Midland could serve as a local autopsy hub. In other business, seniors near Dec. 1 face enhanced senior center meals under a new contract with Mid-America and continued support from the Elderly Nutrition Program. County commissioners also approved a health clinic for county employees and a variety of purchasing and facility items including a police vehicle package and a juvenile center project.
