The future of
palliative care
in Huron County
Laura Broadley
Postmedia Network
Sentiments of friends and
family members who have
passed away resonated
through county council on
September 2.
The Huron Hospice Pallia-
tive Care Steering Commit-
tee made a presentation to
council last week in hopes of
getting $3,000 in financial
support.
Kathy O'Reilly, co-chair
committee, said the group is
undertaking a public consul-
tation process to determine
the palliative care needs of
people in Huron County.
The funds would go towards
community engagement,
including stakeholder meet-
ings and consultation
sessions.
The end goal would be to
create viable recommenda-
tions to support hospice and
palliative care services for
Huron County.
There are no dedicated
hospice services in Huron
County.
O'Reilly explained that
palliative care involves phys-
ical health of the patient but
also the psychological, cul-
tural, social and spiritual
needs of the family.
A common assumption
is that palliative care is
only in the last months or
days before a person
passes away but O'Reilly
said the service is needed
earlier.
"The term palliation refers
to a time when diagnosis is
actually given. It falls along a
continuum of care that does
include therapy to modify
disease. But, at the end of the
day, it does result in the cli-
ent's death," said O'Reilly.
Beyond the death of the
client, there is a continua-
tion of care for family.
The southwest LHIN has a
government mandate to look
a palliation, which includes
talking to people within the
community to get feedback
on a palliative care program.
Some councillors spoke
about past experiences with
palliative care within hospi-
tals and hospices around the
area, reflecting on the good
support their loved one
received.
There are services that are
already available and some
councillors questioned
whether the county should
be the body funding some-
thing like this.
Councillor Versteeg said
that is was important to be
able to influence the LHIN
when it made its decision
regarding palliative care in
the county and that's where
the steering committee
came in.
"Our mission is very clear
in the fact that we're to
solicit a grassroots level of
opinions and ideas from
Huron County residents and
then forward recommenda-
tions for a sustainable model
that fits the needs of Huron
County residents," said
O'Reilly.
Council passed a motion
to support a staff report
regarding the steering com-
mittee's request.
