Nan Vincent, Dianne Muir, Tom Fletcher and Gladys Ruston were among the walkers participating from
the Seaforth Manor Nursing Home and Retirement Residence in the Alzheimer Society's Walk for
Memories event at the Seaforth Public School on Saturday morning. The Seaforth Manor raised over
$500 for the walk, with its largest contributor being Pat Ryan who raised $256. The event in Seaforth
raised $2,100 this year, down by close to $1,000 from last year, said volunteer Arlene van den Akker.
Huron FHT still looking for
executive director, RN, nurse
practitioners and administration
Susan Hundertmark
The position of executive director is back on
the list of positions to fill for the Huron
Family Health Team (FHT) in Seaforth after
Jane Falconer resigned last
week.
"She left for personal reasons.
It was a total surprise to us,"
says Ralph Laviolette, Huron
East's economic development
officer and advisor to the FHT.
Along with the executive
director position, Laviolette says
the FHT is also still looking for
a replacement for its nurse prac-
titioner who is currently on
maternity leave until November,
a registered nurse and adminis-
trative assistants.
The FHT has received
Ministry of Health funding for
operating costs until the end of
March, when Laviolette hopes to
convince the province that the
Huron FHT actually needs two
nurse practitioners.
says Laviolette.
He says that depending on the severity of
the health problem, he believes a nurse prac-
titioner should be able to help 70 to 80 per
cent of the orphan patients currently seeking
care.
"They would pass to the doc-
tors only those who need doctor
care," he says.
As well, Laviolette says the
FHT is still waiting to hear how
negotiations are going for a facil-
ity to accommodate it.
"The family health team will
need a fair amount of space that
isn't currently available any-
where," he says.
Huron East Deputy -Mayor
Bernie MacLellan told council
last Tuesday that he is still hav-
ing discussions with the
Seaforth Community
Development Trust and the
Seaforth Community Hospital
Trust about a facility for the
FHT.
"Nothing is completely ironed
out but it appears having us
take over the current building
`Nothing is
completely
ironed out but
it appears
having us take
over the
current
building might
be the best
course of
action,' --
Huron East
Deputy -Mayor
Bernie MacLellan
"We're getting a fair number of
orphans - in the 100s - wanting to
get an appointment and we're going to make
a plea for two full-time nurse practitioners to
get rid of the backlog and get those people
hooked up with some quality healthcare,"
might be the best course of action," he told
council.
"Nothing is finalized yet but we are work-
ing towards our goal," said MacLellan.
