HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-04-27, Page 26i PAGE BA--GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1978 AM & G Board meets Energy conservation effort keeps h The regular meeting of the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Board took place April 17. ?The minutes of the previous meeting were reviewed and many of the items discussed at that time had been reviewed at special meetings in the interim. The finance committee reviewed all the expenditures for the month of March, and these were accepted as presented and were in line. It was significant that the P.U.C. charges have been remaining at a low level recently and this is attributed to the energy conservation efforts of the director of maintenance of the hospital, inasmuch as a concerted program of energy con- servation has been entered into in the past three to four months. Such areas as the decreasing the wattage of fluorescent c tubes in areas where lighting is required on a 24 hour basis, increasing the amount of fluorescent tubing required in areas where such is non-essential, shutting off non -required fans when they are not needed, decreasing the amount of steam produced in the boilers and many other areas such as this have tended to decrease the overall consumption of energy. Mr. Don Greene, the director of maintenance, was commended for his efforts in this regard. There were many concerns expressed with regard to the budgetary constraints for the' hospital for the year 1978-79 and during the course of special meetings in the past two o>S• three weeks, '• the questiotit have been asked of the Ministry of Health and formally transmitted to them as to the reasons why the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital received the smallest percentage increase of any hospital in the County. This question will be an- swered - when the management committee meet with the Ministry of Health personnel in the near future to discuss the total subject of funding and budgetary allocation. The administrator in- dicated that he had had the initial meeting with the Service Employee's Union relative to'the decrease in, available hours for staff at the hospital, and as a result of that meeting further specific plans were being prepared for discussion within the next week. Mr.Banks indicated that the. method *of achieving the hour savings and dollar savings certainly would be a co-operative effort between the hospital and the unions and the non-union personnel throughout the hospital. The Bylaw Review Com- mittee under the chair- manship of Mr. Tom Troyan, presented their report with regard to the administrative bylaws of the hospital and this completed a very com- prehensive review of all the existing bylaws with a number of new recom- mendations for the Board's consideration. On receipt of the medical staff revision to the medical staff bylaws of the hospital these will all be consolidated and put before the Board at the May meeting in order that they can be given the blessing of the Corporation at its annual meeting in June of this year. The administrator reported on a number of items and one is of significant interest which is the Current Bill 70, which is in front' of the Ontario Legislature having received a second reading and this dealt with the oc- cupational health and safety act and its regulations as amended by the Minister of Labour for the Province of Ontario. There, is much controversy with regards to whether or not this Bill should apply to hospitals and there have been many position papers put forward in this regard. The Board Members were given copies of the correspondence sent to the Minister of Labour from the Ontario Hospital Association and the final position of that Ministry is being awaited at the present time. Mrs. Ora McCallum, President of the ladies' auxiliary at the hospital, indicated, that the auxiliary were holding their annual Penny Fair and . that they hoped to have between $3,000 to $4,000 available for iden- tified programs for the hospital this fiscal year. Mr. Banks will be providing the ladies' auxiliary with the priority list of necessary additions to thehospital for the auxiliary to consider. Mrs. McCallum also in- dicated that the auxiliary had consented to host a Hospital Day Tea, which will be held in the cafeteria of the hospital on Hospital Day May 12. At that time there will be members of the senior technical and professional staff of the hospital available to answer questions and it is hoped that there will be some items of interest for the public to review and ask questions about. It was indicated that last Sunday,,April 16 the hospital auxiliary held the annual awards day for the Can- dystripers of the hospital and L.L.L. to have first anniversary Last month's meeting of Huron County's La Leche League was held at the home of Mary Beuerman in Seaforth on April 12. Discussion was centred on preparing your home, your family and yourself before the arrival of the newborn. Breastfeeding, it was pointed out, is an easy and natural way of learning to mother a baby. Besides providing complete food and protection from infection and allergy, breastfeeding means the comforts and delights of a special closeness for the mother and the child. La Leche League in Huron County will be one year old next month and to honor the occasion, a special film night has been arranged for Saturday May 6. Anyone interested in knowing more about L' .J„L. and good mothering through breast- feeding are invited to this special meeting at 160 Huron Street, Clinton at 8:30 p.m. Fathers are also welcome to attend. As, with all league functions, nursing babies are always welcome. Two films will be shown. One, examines the im- portance of early mother - child relationships and is a Time -Life color production. The other color film is narrated by Natalie Wood and also features Susan St. James and the president of L.L.L. international. The next regular L.L.L, meeting will be held "the second Wednesday of May in Seaforth at 84 Market Street at 8 p.m. The general discussion will deal primarily with the importance of good family nutrition and take a look at the various aspects of weaning. ,The group discussion leader will be Mrs. Peter Bisback from HensaII.

' Mr. Banks informed the. meeting that recently the hospital had had "In Memoriam" cards printed and distributed to the two funeral homes in town. It is significant that if donations are being made in if, of loved ones that the hospital would fund monies . in the hospital's fund for the necessary purchase' of equipment which otherwise would not be made available to the hospital and medical staff. It was made Known that both Siles and McCallum Funeral Homes have a good supply of these cards and certainly the hospital Board would appreciate any con- siderations which may be given in this manner of making bequests.
