Walton Members tour Robarts Institute
Service award
Dianne vanVIiet (right) of the Walton I 4H club was honoured
for 10 years of service as a 4H club leader when the achievement
day for the “Good Foods Fast’’ 4H club was held at Brussels
Nov. 21. Presenting the award was Jane Muegge, Rural
Organization Specialist with the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food in Clinton.
Twenty-five members of the
Huron County Chapter of the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Ontario
recently toured the John Robarts
Research Institute of London,
Ontario. This is the largest private
ly directed medical research facility
in Canada, affiliated with both the
University of Western Ontario and
University Hospital.
Dr. Henry Barnett, president
and Scientific Director of the
Institute, conducted the tour, assis
ted by the Director of Public
Relations.
In 1988 the Institute was honour
ed by being awarded with the
largest single project for medical
research in Canada, to evaluate a
common stroke prevention opera
tion known as carotid endarterec
tomy.
Scientists at the Institute are
hopeful that a new artificial heart
valve currently being researched
will last longer and work better
than other devices now in use. This
project, the largest study of its kind
in Canada, could see the eventual
introduction of a revolutionary
all-Canadian product.
The Robarts Stroke and Aging
Group’s research is far-ranging.
Alongside the testing of new drugs,
Robarts’ scientists are examining
the long-term potential benefits of
a dedicated stroke prevention clinic
for identification and treatment of
high-risk individuals.
