Hospital board not represented
- by Mike Robinson
The Wingham and District
Hospital Board of Governors has
expressed concem over its lack
of representation on the• shortlist
of representatives : for the.
steering committee to determine
if Huron County should have a
District Health Council.
It was however pointed out
that steering committee chair-
man, Paul Carroll had invited
concerned groups to send in
community liaison represen-
tatives to attend the meetings
and have input.
Dr. Charles Omole raised a
concern that it would still mean
no vote.
Board chairman Doris Inglis
suggested it is still important to
send a representative in order to
have someone bring back infor-
mation -- although "in reality our
hospital has no representation."
Board member Bev Brown
pointed out that this is simply a
steering committee, but Mr.
Omole compared it to building a
house with one of the "blocks"
missing.
Ms. Brown pointed out that
Mr. Carroll sent the government
the entire list of 70 suggested
names in addition to his own
shortlist. She said Mr. Carroll
was limited by the size of the
steering committee and that he
tried to select representatives to
represent many areas. The board
then went on to select a
representative and alternate --
Emily Philips and Pat Pietrek,
with . those two choosing which
position they would prefer.
This course will train
palliative care workers
Wingham and Area Palliative
Care Services Inc. is planning

potential palliative care workers

course will be open to com-
munity support workers.
Palliative care services are
offered free of charge, to en-
hance the quality of life for
people with life threatening
illness and includes support for
the family during the illness and
following bereavement.
Wingham Palliative Care Ser-
vice is a non-profit organization
served by volunteers working in
the field, in the office and on the
Board of Directors. Their efforts
are supported and made possible
through the financial support of
individuals, community groups,
churches and businesses. A panel
of local resource people will
share the teaching of this course,
which covers a wide range of
topics related to death, grief, and
bereavement.
