Goderich Signal Star
Gateway Centre of Excel-
lence in Rural -Health hosted
an open house reception last
week to officially announce
relocation from Seaforth to
Goderich.
Originally formed and
housed in Seaforth, there
were a group of people who
banded together because of
the need for more informa-
tion on rural health, how our
environment impacts our
health and why rural people
are suffering from certain
diseases.
The Gateway office is now
located on Kingston Street,
above the Libro building.
Several notable members
of the community attended
the reception, including
Warden Jim Ginn, the six
students that are employed
with Gateway and will con-
duct research during the
summer, a representative
from Libro and Gateway
President Dr. Agnes Kluz.
"We are so incredibly for-
tunate to be residing here in
this particular space in
Goderich. This space creates
an open and warm environ-
ment where students and
Chairs and mentors can
come together and create
and innovate," explained
Agnes Kluz, President of
Gateway.
Gateway's mission is to
improve the health and
quality of life of rural resi-
dents through research, edu-
cation and knowledge
transition.
This summer, Gateway will
employ five university grad-
uates and one high school
student. Each student will
create a particular health
research project relevant to
our local area and their field
of study.
This year, a study of sub-
stance use and youth addic-
tion in local communities, a
study on the benefits of exer-
cise in treating patients with
mental health problems as
well as research into best
practices in rural hospices
are innovative areas of study.
Traditionally there is not a
significant amount of medi-
cal research conducted in
rural communities and
Gateway is an organization
that will work with commu-
nity partners to improve the
health status and quality of
life in rural residents.
"We look forward to
spending many more
moments in this space with
our students, creating
opportunities for research to
benefit our community
members. That is the num-
ber one goal: to benefit our
community members,"
explained Kluz.
