HEALTH ON THE HILL A Review of activities at SEAFORTH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BACK CARE' BLITZ '89: Back pain is a big problem in health care workers. Statistics show that 44% of health care injuries are related to the back because of the necessity to lift and transfer patients and heavy objects. Although we know back pain is an old problem - Egyp- tian paintings show problem backs five thousand years ago - the expense today is stagger- ing. With 3.1 million work days lost and 399 million dollars paid out in Workers Compensa- tion Benefits it is the taxpayers who eventually pay the bill. The Physiotherapy Department and Occupational Health and Safety Committee are deter- mined to decrease the number of hospital employees who experience pain and suffering from back pain. The annual "Back Care Blitz" is an in-service presented this week and is man- datory for all hospital employees to attend. ACTIVATION GROUP NEWS: A. Remembrance Day Service was held November 10, with ten legion members attending. The service included prayer, song and a video. Welcome to Majorie Horst, a new volunteer. Also back is Marj Varley who took the summer months off. Bon Voyage to Ruth Thorburne who winters in Florida. BIRTHING ROOM IN USE: Seaforth Hospital's Birthing Room has had its first occupants. Debbie & Dennis Murray of Dublin were glad to have use of the room for the birth of their fourth son. Mrs. Murray particularly liked the comfort of the bed and the fact that she did not have to transfer to another room. Obstetrical Team Leader Kay Mailloux feels that a Birthing Room has much to offer over the traditional delivery room scenario. The main attraction is a 9.0,000. moulded plastic birthing bed that is as comfortable as a regular bed but has an electronically adjustable head, foot, seat and foot pads. No transfer of the mother to a delivery room is necessary. The room itself is very home -like with subdued lighting, recliner chair, table lamps and cur- tains on the windows. 'Tis The eason In Seaforth ' from page 3A magazine and to sharing new ideas", Mrs. Gunby said. "We know he shares our concern for the well-being of the agricultural community, and know that SiignalStar Publishing intends to preserve the unique and independent character of The Rural Voice. We hope the sale will strengthen the voice of agriculture and nourish the magazine's roots in midwestern Ontario." "I'm looking forward to returning to my roots in publishing," said Mr. Fit- zgerald, "and to strengthening the agriculture community in Ontario .through this important communication vehicle." The Rural Voice, which serves 14,000 subscribers in the counties of Huron, Perth, Bruce and Grey, was founded in 1975 by Keith Roulston,.and acquired by Gunbyfield Publishing in 1984.
