He said in order to
provide quality health
care, "we must have a
community hospital. It
must consist 'of a fully

with lab and x-ray sup-
port capable of handling

community as ,a whole.

Owen Sound doesn't
want contaminated
cities
Dr. Mann addressed
the Ontario Hydro ques-
tion by reminding the
committee the
Kincardine hospital is the
designated receiving cen-
tre for radiation contami-
nated casualties.
"We have been one of
the leaders in establish-
ing common, treatment
protocols, education,
modules, and: equipment
used across' Ontario.
There is no centre which,
has the facilities, train-
ing, and personnel to per-
form this task west of the
Toronto Western Hospital
in downtown Toronto."
Dr . Mann said that as
recently as May . 23,
1996,the . medical 'sub
committee of the Bruce,
c r Preparedness
lea
Committee, on whchhe .:
sits,, was told that the
oU
Owen: ��"► ndhospital had
i eres
no interest ins:: being
involved in contaminated
casualties.
Owen Sound hospital
said if , an cambulanee:
EXEC
arrived at the etnergenc
department with a poten-
tially contaminated casu-
alty, they would not
allow the ambulance t.
open its doors, Dr Mann
said.
He said Kincardine i -
a teaching centre for
family medicine resi-
dents from the University
of Toronto.
This allows a final
ye.r� resident in family
nor , to spend a few
vuouU learning about
family medicine in a
rural community centre.
"Here they, gain valu-
able exposure and experi-
ence in rural medicine
they can't gain in down-
town Toronto.
Hesaid. the'' residents
learn how to work in a
community hospital with
fewer resources` than the
big teaching hospitals
and how to blend:: this.
