With LHINS hospital may be in jeopardy, chair says continued from page 3 I luron k $59,597. Sterner said that other areas have a community fund to assist with doctor recruitments. She also stated (hat though many feel this is the gr)sernment's responsibility that is not the case. "The government does not provide any community with dentists, nurses or any other health care professional." Councillors have also often expressed a concern that the township residents do not only use Wingham hospital. Sterner, however, didn't see the problem. "I think you need to remember that you are councillors for North Huron and North Huron only has one hospital." Currently the area is underserviced by four doctors. a number that will increase with the retirement in June of Dr. Clare. "I believe we are a community in a serious situation," said Sterner. Sterner also fears that the Local Health Integration Service Networks (LHIN) may determine that Wingham can't support its hospital. "If health care is truly the number one issue in the province then it must be our number one. priority." A fact sheet outlined some of the incentives currently being offered to attract physicians. However, Sterner said that with 101 areas currently designated as underserviced physician recruitment is becoming more and more of a competition. "This is not just an Ontario problem, It's a whole country problem, a whole world problem," said Sterner. "You get a doctor to come here, you've robbed somebody else. It's really quite a dilemma." Herrfort, who is working as co- ordinator for the committee said doctors today have a different lifestyle than years ago. "It is a different way of recruiting doctors than in the past." "We wanted to let you know whatour problems are and get your support," said Sterner. "Wingham District Hospital celebrates 100 years in rural health care this year. And we hope to see many more."
