Changes and news from South Huron Hospital
. Sy Dr. Doug Hoover
CHAIR, HURON -PERTH HOSPITALS
In my first letter of the year I stated that 1999
would certainly be a year of positive change. It is my
intention, at least on a monthly basis, to try and keep
our community aware of these changes at South
Huron Hospital, and to provide newsworthy items. I
have several good news stories to share with youthis
month.
On February 1, Janice Cosgrove became our new
Administrator. Janice brings a tremendous wealth of
knowledge to the Huron Perth Hospital Partnership,
and besides several other duties, she has been given
the task of providing Administrative support to our-
selves, Alexandria Marine in Goderich and Clinton.
Janice is an excellent fit for our community, and will
serve us well. She encourages your input, and is
eager to meet people like you and me, to make our
hospital a vibrant part of our community.
After many months of discussion, the Board of
South Huron Hospital has signed a letter of intent
with ANAGO and the Adult Day Away program to use
space for their activities within our hospital. The
Board strongly recognizes the need to provide such
services to our community and welcomes these new
"partners" in health care. Hopefully, renovations in
the east wing of the basement will soon be started.
These are very important programs and at long last
we're pleased to announce genuine progress in this
area.
As most people are aware, our catchment area,
and to be quite frank, all of Southwest Ontario,
presently finds itself faced with a frightening short-
age of Doctors. We are not alone, and many commu-
nities find themselves struggling. For example, Dr.
Jim Rouke of the Southwestern Ontario Rural
Medicine, Education, Research and Development
Unit (SWORM), states that Kitchener requires 50
General Practitioners, the Niagara region; 94!
Therefore, not only must we actively recruit doctors,
but we also need to retain the ones we have.
Hopefully our recent approval as being an underser=
viced area will help, as we are given more exposure,
but it will not guarantee new Doctors. We need to
have a Medical Arts facility wherein present and new
Physicians can practise and not be faced with the
inherent headaches of running a small business.
Input from our local Doctors, and numerous studies
has shown that this is the single most effective tool in
trying to recruit new Physicians. At the end of
February, George Marr was asked to vacate office
space in the Professional Building to start this
process. Dr. Linda Steele has asked to occupy this
area, and has been approved for a one year term.
In the interim, Dr. Hodder has offered space within
his office for a new Doctor, and other arrangements
may be made. Our community needs to have a facili-
ty readily available, as we continue to throw our caps
into the recruitment ring. The development of a mul-
tiperson medical clinic will take time, and we need to
have interim space available as soon as possible. The
Board of Governors of South Huron Hospital would
like to extend the opportunity, through Janice
Cosgrove to any local individuals or groups to further
develop the concept of a local Medical Arts facility. It
is understood that this may involve the Professional
building across the street from the Hospital. It is only
through a community effort, not the Hospital's alone
will this.come to fruition. -
The Board of Governors consists of the following
active members. Although Janice- Cosgrove, and
myself, the Chair, have been given the task of provid-
ing liaison with our community, all the following
would certainly welcome your comments. Please feel
free to contact them with. your concerns, or visit our
new meeting on March 30 at 7:30 in the Board Room
of the Hospital.
