PET THERAPY We all know the feelings a warm tiny kitten can evoke in all of us. The Seaforth Hospital Activation Group is hoping pets can work the same magic for their patients. Mr. Don Fry brought in his dachshund named “Willie” and Mr. and Mrs. John Higgs supplied their chihauhua “Tina” for the event. Altogether, eight patients, one nurse and one doctor attended. Thankfully the pets were very well behaved and thoroughly enjoyed by all. If anyone has any suggestions or pets to bring in for the activation group, please contact Mary Margaret Nash at 527-1650, ext. 141. SUCCESSFUL RESCUE ATTEMPT Carol Hunt, RNA is the successful candidate for a Lifesaver Award.

OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM Many of us forget a time when we had to pay for all medical costs at point of service. The Medical Care Act (1966) ensured that all Canadians would be protected from the economic consequences of illness. Our Health Care system was based on five basic principles which still hold true today. Services are to be “comprehensive” and “Accessible” (within reason). Coverage is “universal” (rather than based on occupation, age or income) and benefits “portable” among the provinces. Administration is “public” on a non-profit basis. Canada’s Medical System is something to be proud of.
