. First, let us explode a. myth, Unfortunately many
lieOple believe that their local hospital is owned
and.operated by the Government. It is not, and
We'd like tolkeep .it that Way:
The fact is, your local hospital belongs to you,
and is managed by the dedicated people whb
make up thp hospital's Board of Directors.
Serving voluntarily, without pay, they are, typical
of More than . 4,000 hospital trustees serving in
'Ontario.
These people live. and work right in 'your com-
munity, We believe that' only in this way can
your hospital be mbst:responsive to your needs
for health care services. We behrve itms cam-
munity participation, haS given. us a standard of
hospitals and hospital care that is unexcelled
anywhere in the world.
However, we are concerned that the present
system of lob\al control may be eroded away by
too much government intervention.' We don't
deny gbvernment's right to decide hoW much
money it wishes, to spend on hospital services.
We do believe that the local. community can
'be§t decide how, that money should be spent'
on 'its hospital services. beds and staff.
That's why you need' your local hospital board.
It's your hospital. Help them keep' it that way.
