II-P Healthcare Alliance meets Challenge: Getting enough calcium and vitamin D to
maintain strong bones and protect against osteoporosis
With approval coming for the final
member, the Huron-Perth rfealthcare
Alliance held it first official meeting
recently.
The Stratford General Hospital
Board was the last to pass a
new bylaw agreeing to the
four-hospital membership. The
Seaforth Community Hospital
Board passed a bylaw June 16; St.
Marys Memorial, June 19; Clinton
Public, June 23 and Stratford, June
26.
The hospitals will have one board
and share a CEO. The board will be
meeting every second month in
Stratford, with the other sessions
held, in rotation, at the three other
centres. The meetings will be the
first Thursday of the month
beginning in October.
CEO Andrew Williams said the
first task will be to integrate the
staff. The alliance will lobby the
government and educate the public
about the need for a long-term
healthcare vision and multi-year
funding.
Foundations and auxiliaries to
the hospitals will remain
independent and all communities
will have representation on the
board.
Solution: Women 19-50 years of age should consume 1000 mg of calcium and 5
ug (200 IU) of Vitamin D per day. Milk and milk products, such as cheese and
yogurt provide the most readily available source of calcium and other bone
building nutrients. Other sources include calcium-fortified beverages (soy, rice and
orange juice) tofu made with calcium sulfate, salmon and sardines with bones,
sesame seeds and almonds. Bok choy, kale and broccoli also provide calcium but
in smaller amounts. Vitamin D is found in fluid milk, eggs, fish and fish liver oils,
margarine as well as in soy and rice beverages fortified with vitamin D. Sunlight
on the skin can be a major source cf vitamin D but is limited in Canada from
October to March and by use of sunscreens. To prevent osteoporosis women are
encouraged to get enough calcium, vitamin D and protein, limit caffeine, have
sodium in moderation, and keep active particularly with weight-bearing activity.
