Seili would like a crystal ball G. Wilbee leads United service Continued from page 10 have arrived at easily. Seili says that when the Family Health Team was first announced, they came to the municipality for help with the clinic, then the municipality began putting funds away for the venture; only to discover they didn’t own the building, so they couldn’t do work on it. “So we started to negotiate with the Hospital Trust to get the building back, but through tireless efforts, negotiations and different scenarios, it still ended up they weren’t going to lease or sell the building to us,” Seili said. “So to move forward, to house a Family Health Team, that’s when we decided that if we didn’t own the land, that we’d be better off to build on what we do own. We did have deals worked out, there were gentlemens’ agreements, but then deadlines came and went and they never came to the table.” While Seili says that the road to here has not been an easy one, he is proceeding with caution into the future, but doesn’t anticipate any big snags along the way. “I wish I had a crystal ball,” he said. “I don’t foresee any problems in the future with the changing of the Family Health Team, and it gets better as you bring on more doctors, not to mention that the provincial government is starting to look more at rural healthcare.” Happy Gang hosts 33rd spring rally 2.75%*Heartland Home Equity Loan *Introductory rate.
