The board of governors at Wingbara
and District Hospital has given its
unanimous approval to the construction
of a new medical clinic to serve the
needs of Wingbam and area residents,
At its June meeting, the board estab-
lished a committee to select a design
and determine the best location for a
new clinic for eight to 10 doctors' at a
cost'not exceeding $1.5 million,
- in a telephone interview following
the recent board meeting, Executive
Director Lloyd Koch said the new clin-
ic will be funded jointly by the hospital
and a community fundraising cam-
paign, the details of which have yet to
be determined. ,"The town is the key to
this,." says Koch, who adds that
Wingham Councillors Denise Wilkins -
Treble and Arnold Taylor are on the
recruiting committee for new. doctors
'and Mayor Don Carter sits on the board
of governors itself.
• The newly -formed clinic committee
has been empowered..to move ahead
quickly, adds Koch, .so that the project
can get started this year. At the June
meeting, the board spent some time in -
camera discussing a possible land air-
• chase for the clinic, but no decision was •
made. •
In the report of the resource commit-
tee, Bob Pike said the clinic issue has
• been on the "burner" for, many months
• and the time has come to move forward
• on the project.
The recent announcement by. Dr.
Peter Long that he is leaving Wingharn
• and Dr. John Ping's decision not to seek
hospitEd privileges basbrought the mat-.

The concept of a modern, well-
equipped clinic is quite appealing to
•
• doctors looking to set up a rural prac-
.tice, said Pike. •
He called upon his fellow board
:members to come to a consensus on a
clinic. "It's critical that the hospital
take a role of leadership :because We
have the financial resources to get this
thing done...The hospital would pro-
vide the funding and the doctors • would
provide the co-operative spirit"
Pike proposed a 6,000 to 8,000-
• square -foot clinic, large enough to
accommodate six to 10 physicians.
"Time is of the essence," he said. "We
have to proceed to fast-track this pro-
ject?'
"A resource committee recommen-

unanimously at the urging of George

After a 90 minute ses-

changes to the budget
format to "facilitate user

Other recommenda-

remedied, and a "staff

should be established,
Some councillors wanted
until September to con-
sider the report and its
recommendations, but
finance chair Norm

report now wont mean

made without full coun-
