FORMATION OF THE SEAFORTH
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TRUST
AIMED AT STABILIZING PHYSICIAN
RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
The Boards of Directors of Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation and the
Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance are pleased to announce a commitment to form
the Seaforth Community Hospital Trust.
This Trust is established to own and manage the agricultural lands and Seaforth
Community Health Centre associated with the Seaforth Community Hospital
Foundation and Seaforth Community Hospital Corporation.
"In formalizing this Trust, we will be reinforcing one of the key principles of the
Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance, namely, that assets such as land and buildings
remain under local control," stated Alliance CEO Andrew Williams.
The Board of the Trust will include two nominees from the Foundation and two
from the Alliance, with the Alliance nominees being those members who
represent the area served by Seaforth Community Hospital.
The formation of the Trust resulted from discussions with the Alliance, the
Foundation, the Municipality of Huron East and the Seaforth Community
Development Trust. Although not directly represented on the Trust's Board, the
Municipality and Community Development Trust will be key players through the
provision of financial support.
"This truly is a community initiative," says Foundation Chair Ron Lavoie. "No
issue is more important to us than access to a stable healthcare system,
particularly local primary care. The positive contribution of all players therefore
should send a strong message to current and future healthcare professionals as
to the importance we place on this issue," he stated.
A request to sever the land and the Seaforth Community Health Centre from the
Hospital has been initiated with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
