John, February 23, 2002 and
Kevin, March 12, 1994.
God called your name so softly that
only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps of the
angels drawing near.
May the winds of love blow softly
and whisper so you'll hear,
That we all miss you and wish that
you were here.
We know you walk beside us and
whenever our lives are through,
We pray that God will take our
hands and lead us straight to you.

In loving memory of a dear mother,
May who passed away one year
ago March 5, 2003.
On Angels Wings
Today I prayed for angels
To keep watch over you
To guard and protect you
In everything yo do.
When I whispered to the Father
I asked for him to bring
A touch of love and goodness
Sent forth on angels' wings.
So if you feel the brush of wings
Or a soft breeze fills the air
Just know it's angels watching over
you
Because of whispered prayers.
— Loved and sadly missed by your
children Florence, Betty, Linda,
Lois, Gordon and Murray. 09-1
RINN. In loving memory of a dear
grandmother, May who passed
away one year ago March 5, 2003.
You're gone but not forgotten
As dawns another day
All the tears we have cried for you
Will never go away.
The Lord took you to His mansion
To let you rest in peace
He will leave the golden gates open
Until we meet again.
— Always loved and sadly missed
by all your grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. 09-1
SHORTREED. In loving memory
of Bill, a laving, wonderful
husband and father, who passed
away two years ago March 9, 2002.
Beautiful memories are wonderful
things
They last until the longest day
They never wear out, they never
get lost
And can never be given away.
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to us who loved and lost you
Your memory will always last.
— Forever loved and never
forgotten. In our hearts always --
Valerie, Jason, Matthew, Bradley,
and Krista. 09-1

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.

sustainable rural health services,

Development Leader Huron Perth
