(Photo submitted) Huron, Perth health care groups band together Court news Health care works better when everyone works together. That's the simple but powerful idea behind the formation of the Huron Perth service providers council, which held its inaugural meeting on April 28. The council is a group of repre- sentatives from long-term care homes, hospitals, and community health organizations that have come together to work with the new South West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) to make health care better for people in .Huron- Perth. The new group is the brain- child of the Community Care Access Centres of Huron and Perth Counties community advisory coun- cil. "The people of Huron-Perth want local health care service to be there when they need it," says- G. Clark Mitchell, chair of the CCAC com- munity advisory council. "They —want a health system that is user- friendly and minimizes confusion and frustration, so that they can focus all their energies on getting well. The council will work with the LHIN to provide input on integra- tion and coordination issues, and on the health needs of our communi- ties." The Huron Perth service providers council includes the board chair and/or CEO/executive director of health agencies serving Huron and Perth Counties that receive funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The group includes a wide range of health providers from throughout the coun- ties of Huron and Perth and plans to meet four times a year as a whole to plan together, discuss issues of mutual concern and advocate for health resources and services. The council will oversee the work of several focused action groups, including three established in 2005 and already at work.

This means all Ontario workers will work in a safe, healthy and smoke-free workplace as of May 31., The law includes bar, restaurant' bingo, and casino workers. The Smoke-Free Ontario Act also puts more limits on retail prornotion of tobacco products. A display ban starts May 31, 2008. As in the past, anyone purchasing tobacco products must be over the age of 19. Tobacco sellers must see ID to make sufe a purchaser is over 19. "Our smoke-free strategy makes us a leader in North America by cre- ating safer smoke-free environ- ments, preventing young people from starting to smoke and assisting smokers to quit," says Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson. "The legislation will protect workers and the public from expo- sure to second-hand smoke and it will help to ensure that young peo- ple don't pick up this deadly addic- tion," says Dr. Sheela Basrur, Ontario's chief medical officer of health. As the smoke-free countdown continues, the Huron County Health Unit is helping the community pre- Pare for the new Act. "Huron County has been a leader in smoke free communities through the county-wide smoke free bylaw," says Linda Stobo. Stobo is supervi- sor of the health unit's tobacco pro- gram. Huron County's Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) By-law has been in effect since Sept. 4, 2004. This bylaw makes all enclosed pub- lic places and workplaces smoke- free. The Smoke-Free Act will not can- cel existing municipal bylaws. The Act sets minimum standards for municipal tobacco control across Ontario. Smoking is the number one pre- ventable cause of premature death and illness in Ontario. It costs more than $1 billion per year in direct health care costs. Research shows-there is no safe level of exposure to first- or second- hand smoke. The health unit sent out a smoke- free package to Huron County workplaces, retailers and public places in mid-May.
