The Citizen, 2001-12-12, Page 18foundations and auxiliaries will continue to support their own site. • Once the new hospital is formed, the foundations and aux- iliaries will determine how they will support the new facility. Where will I see my family doc- tor? • Your family doctor will continue to practice out of offices in Clinton and Goderich. • The Clinton Medical Centre also offers laboratory and other diag- nostic services. • The board of AMGH, together with representatives from the medical staff, Town of Goderich and AMGH Foundation, are sup- portive of building a group med- ical clinic in the Town of Goderich as a recruitment tool for new physicians and retention of existing physicians. This clinic will have laboratory and other health care related services. What are the next steps? • A proposal is under develop- ment for submission to the Ministry of Health. • • A proposal is being developed to be submitted to the Municipality of Central Huron and the Huron County Planning Department to allow the land to be used for a hospital. If I have a question, who do I ask? • Call the administration office at either hospital and they will record your question and answer to the best of their ability.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 12, 2001. Alternative usage for buildings premature Continued from page 15 • The ability to upgrade existing equipment to meet future needs. • The ability to utilize new health care technologies for diagnostic, treatment and management processes. • The ability to combine the fund raising efforts of both communi- ties. • The ability to combine the med- ical staff in both communities to provide a larger number of physi- cians to provide emergency and on-call coverage. • The ability to merge the two organizations and to simplify management processes. • The ability to obtain approval from the Ministry of Health for redevelopment in a timely fash- ion. • The ability to respond to many of the new program initiatives set out by the Ministry of Health in areas such as mental health, reha- bilitation, stroke services and the development of rural health net- works. • The ability to utilize current hospital buildings for other pur- poses. What will the existing buildings be used for? It is premature to plan for alter- nate use of the building before approval from the Ministry of Health. • At that time, we will ask for input from the private and public sector as to alternate uses for these buildings. If a combined hospital has so many benefits, why don't you just expand on one of the existing sites? • Neither of the existing sites has the space to expand to accommo- date the services of the two hospi- tals and the new services we expect to attract to this size of hospital. • Building on a greenfield site will allow future expansion of services we have yet to learn about, allow for a helicopter pad and medical specialist offices. • A new building will have space designed for the way we treat patients today and in the future versus a design that was built for the way patients were treated in the 1950s. How much will it cost and where will the money come from? • The initial, high level proposal was $40 million. • The Ministry usually funds 50 per cent of new capital projects. • If some of the services could be shown to be part of restructuring costs the Ministry might fund 70 per cent of these services. • The community is expected to support the balance of the project. • Both hospitals and hospital foundations have funds that could be put toward these costs. What happens to the hospital foundations and auxiliaries? • These are separate corporations and will make their own deci- sions. • There is no pressure for these organizations to join together; they can decide what is best for, them. • While the two hospitals remain in operation, the services require the financial support of the local foundations and auxiliaries to replace equipment, keeping us up to date and operational. • It is likely that while the two hospitals remain operational, the
