The Citizen Classifieds Blyth • Brussels 523-4792 • 887-9114 Jim Whaley, executive director, Grey Bruce Huron Perth District Health Council and Gwen Devereaux, community development leader, Huron Perth Hospitals recently presented to the Economic Development Council of Ontario (EDCO) at their annual conference in Toronto. Whaley and Devereaux, rural health experts, addressed economic developers from across Ontario on the current status of' rural health services stressing the importance of economic developers becoming involved with physician recruitment Ind retention, as part of a larger strategy of creating sustainable rural communities. Together they delivered a strong message that the 'economic health' of a community is directly related to sustainable rural health services. Not only are health care organizations important employers in small; rural communities but community economic development needs to take an active role in keeping health services 'closer to home' because potential new businesses are looking at the availability of local health services. Potential new physician recruits are frequently asking the following questions: • Is this a progressive community? • Has it grown? • Has it attracted any new business recently? • Does its downtown core reflect a Vibrant community? • Is there employment opportunity for my partner? Physicians attracted to rural communities need to be viewed a an "economic unit" who can generate additional business and other economic 'spin-offs.' When they set up a new medical practice, they are also setting up a new small business, including hiring staff. Economic developers also need to examine the issue of aging baby boomers as a potential 'growth industry'. Across Ontario retirement communities are being developed at a substantial rate. Nursing homes and senior wellness centres are developing into major businesses. New long-term care facilities and associated seniors' support services can be important additions to any rural community but they require a stable supply of physicians and nurses. Communities that have strategies in place to address these issues are achieving some success in the difficult struggle to recruit and retain physicians and as a result are becoming richer and more stable economically. In these more successful communities, municipalities, chambers of commerce and economic development staff are working closely with physician recruiters. Devereaux spoke about the decreased number of doctors in the province with the average age of a physician being 48 years old and the increased retirement rate. She spoke of the challenges attracting physicians to the rural areas and the changes in their scope of practice giving such examples as the fact that many graduating family physicians do not practise obstetrics or desire to do emergency work. The majority of physicians graduating do not prefer to settle in a community but choose to remain in a "locum status" covering vacationing physicians' practices. There are many locum opportunities across the province with 118 under serviced communities looking for 665 physicians. Whaley reported on the challenges of rural health care. Rural environments are not inherently 'healthier' than cities because of factors such as water pollution from agricultural run-off, higher rates of motor vehicle accidents, and rural isolation. These environmental issue are compounded by rapidly aging rural communities, which will place significant demands on the health care system. Roy Romanow in his 2002 report on The Future of Health Care in Canada described these rural health challenges as the 'Inverse Care Law'. He argued that residents of rural and remote communities have greater health needs than their urban counterparts but have more difficulty accessing necessary health services.
