Letter to the editor.,
Get involved in hospital discussions
Dear editor:
The Huron -Perth District Health Council has
released its report outlining options for hospitals for
the Huron -Perth area.
Residents in our area are urged to obtain a copy,
read the document and understand it clearly.
Three options are proposed and although the "C"
word (closure) is never used, be aware of the follow-
ing:
Under Option 1 - the hospitals in Clinton, Exeter, St.
Mary, and Wingham will he CLOSET) as hospitals.
Under Option 2 - the hospitals in Clinton, Exeter,
Listowel, and St. Marys will be CLOSED as hospi-
tals.
Under Option 3 - the hospitals in Clinton, Exeter,
and St. Marys will be CLOSED as hospitals and
Wingham will have a chronic and rehab focus only.
The report prefaces the "Options" section saying
"The options rank favorable against the criteria pre-
viously established by the Task Force - but are no
means final recommendations."
Unless you wish to sit and let your hospital close,
get involved, make your opinions known at the
upcoming open houses and support your kcal com-
munity action group with your voice and your finan-
cial support.

Services should be strengthened

house) to tell the DHC
what they need... We need
to have our services
strengthened, not deci-
mated," says Koch.
"One (option) calls for
no beds for Wingham.
It's totally misleading for
the DHC to tell people
they can have a hospital
with no keds."
At this week's hoard
of governors meeting,
Koch says, members also
will discuss implications
of the restructuring
options on the hoard's
plans to build a new
medical clinic adjacent to
the hospital. However, he
says, "It's quite clear that
physicians will still he
needed and a clinic is
still the only way to
ensure that."
Medical Staff
Dr. Brian Hanlon,
chief of medical staff at
WDH, says the doctors
will work in concert with
the hospital board to
launch an effort to see
two secondary hospitals
in Huron County, one of
them being Wingham.
Dr. Hanlon says he
believes' Wingham has a
good case to make for
secondary, or full .service,
hospital status. Winghain
is isolated 'from other
areas, notes i)r. Hanlon
and it serves a large pop-
ulation from Bruce
County. As well, WDI1
has a resident surgeon
and two anesthetists. The
