Medical centre open
By Anne Narejko
BLYTH - A new medical centre has been
opened to offer general medical services to
the residents of Blyth and surrounding area,
and possibly in the future, the centre will
also offer dental services.
The Blyth Medical Centre, funded by the
Wingham Medical.Association, will carry on
the services which had previously been of-
fered in the village by a former Wingham
group.
We felt that it was our obligation to con-
tinue to offer the general medical services
similar -A° those offered in the past," stated
Dr. Jim McGregor of Wingham.
The centre, located on the corner of Mill
and Dinsley Streets, .is similar to offices
operated by the Medical Association in Gor-
rie and Brussels for the past 17 years. Ac-
cording to Dr. McGregor, the Blyth project
will cost the Association approximately
$90,000 to fully equip the centre. Between
$60,000 and $70,000 has been spent on the pro-
ject to date. The village has not been asked
to help with the expenses.
The facility includes three examination
rooma, but only two rooms have been set up
for Medical purposes. The third room was
"made in anticipation so a dentist could use
it on a part-time basis," explained Dr.
McGregor.

At their March meeting, council received
a reply from, the Ministry of Health regar-
ding grants available for establishing a den-
tist office. In order to received a grant, the
village must make every effort to recruit a
dentist and, if after a period of one year, the
village is unable to find a dentist, the
Ministry of Health will reveiw the situation
and take further action. The ministry has
already advised two faculties of dentistry
that Blyth is looking for a dentist.
Fund raising suggestions for the dental
equipment include help from the service
clubs and having council purchase the
equipment, then leasing it.
Dispensing of prescription drugs is a ser-
vice, that will be offered by the Blyth
Medical Centre.
"As there is 'no drug store in Blyth, we will
cover the patient's medication to a large
degree," explained Dr. McGregor.
The centre will be open on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday from 9-11 a.m. for
the present tune. iIf it is found that the
public's demand for the medical services
can not be met during the time allotted, the
office hours will be extended. Also at the
present time, Dr. McGregor will be working
at the Blyth Centre, taking patients by ap-
pointment. The Blyth Medical Centre phone
number is 523-4723.
