They report directly to the Minister of Health.<\/li>\n<li>In three communities recently, these government-appointed Supervisors have re-written or are in the process of re-writing the by laws of the local hospitals to eliminate elected hospital boards and voting rights of hospital members. These communities are: Alliston, Midland-Penetanguishene and Scarborough. This follows an earlier move led by the provincial government to eradicate members\u2019 voting rights at Toronto Women\u2019s College Hospital.<\/li>\n<li>In Kingston General Hospital, the Supervisor recently forced the removal of hospital CEO Joe DaMora who had publicly advocated to protect his local hospital services from cuts in the lead-up to the provincial election. The supervisor was sent in and the CEO (essentially) fired after the election.<\/li>\n<li>The elimination of elected hospital boards means the end of an almost 100 year history of elected hospital boards in Midland and Alliston and the eradication of voting rights for thousands of community members.<\/li>\n<li>The Ontario Health Coalition is concerned that the province has secretly adopted a policy of eliminating elected hospital boards. The coalition is warning that this move is part of a larger attempt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The provincial government gave the community the impression that it supported elected community boards before the provincial election in October 2007. George Smitherman, then Minister of Health, said that volunteer-based boards and community representation are \u201cstill the best option\u201d:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><i>&#8220;Community governance is good for the hospital and health-care sector in Ontario \u2013 I believe that strenuously.&#8221;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Michael Oliviera, Canadian Press, \u201cCommunity Should Help Govern Hospital, Minister Says\u201d July 20, 2007.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Most took this statement and others like it to mean that the health minister continued to support community elected hospital boards. The moves to eradicate the boards in the three communities that we have found out about (Alliston, Midland and Scarborough) happened after the provincial election.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A summary of events at each of the three hospitals follows.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Midland<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Hospital: Huronia District Hospital. Original hospital built by the community in 1905. Estimated 100 year history of an elected hospital board<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Supervisor: Kevin Smith<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Date Appointed: October 2007<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Elimination of elected board: underway now<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Number of community members whose voting rights would be eliminated if this goes through: approx. 2,400<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Summary:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the spring 2007, several board members of the Huronia District Hospital (HDH) revealed to the public a secret plan proposed by the board to merge HDH with nearby Catholic hospital Penetanguishene General Hospital. The board members that opposed the plan were concerned about the loss of reproductive health services including abortions and end-of-life services if both hospitals were to be under Catholic governance. Ultimately four board members opposed to the merger resigned from the board. Thousands of community members in Midland and Penetanguishene opposed the merger over concerns about the loss of these services and loss of secular governance. 2,400 people paid for memberships in the hospital and signed petitions, hundreds attended town hall meetings, and the membership organized to hold a general meeting. Before the general meeting could be held, the remaining board members that had created the merger plan resigned forcing the province to appoint a Supervisor.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Kevin Smith was appointed as Hospital Supervisor. He rejected the merger into a faith-based hospital. Instead he arranged for the secular HDH to take over the Catholic Penetanguishene General Hospital and for the Catholic Hospital Association\/nuns to take over Penetanguishene\u2019s mental health facility instead. Smith also recommended some personnel changes and other operational improvements.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In meetings with the health coalition he said that he personally did not believe in elected hospital boards but that his primary mandate was to get a new board into place, appoint a CEO and deal with the merger proposal and operational issues, and that he would not re-write the by laws.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Smith has announced that he is re-writing the by laws. He has arranged for an appointed nominating committee to be put into place. That nominating committee will appoint the board. The board will be unelected hereafter.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a town hall meeting attended by several hundred community members, the community forged a position that they would support the nomination process as long as the board would ultimately be elected. Community members expressed a strong willingness to make the board work, support for a board with qualifications and skills, and a desire for restored stability as soon as possible, but opposed the removal of voting rights for hospital members. This recommendation has been ignored. The nominating committee has been given terms of reference requiring that all committee members support Kevin Smith\u2019s position that the board will not be elected hereafter. The community is appealing to the government to stop the disenfranchisement of the hospital membership.<\/p>\n<h4>Allison<\/h4>\n<p>Hospital: Stevenson Memorial Hospital. Original hospital built by community donations in 1928. Estimated 70 year history of elected hospital board.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Supervisor: Mark Rochon<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Date Appointed: June 11, 2007<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eradication of Elected Board: started winter 2007<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Summary:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the winter of 2006, the hospital board disclosed plans to close the birthing unit at the hospital. Hundreds of community members flooded public meetings to oppose the cut to services. Ultimately the hospital board resigned in June 2007. The provincial government appointed a Supervisor to take over the hospital.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The supervisor selected a board and put it in place at the end of 2007. The supervisor re-wrote the by laws to eliminate the memberships\u2019 voting rights. Under the supervisor\u2019s arrangement, the appointed board will essentially become self-selecting thereafter through a board-led nominating committee that will appoint the board. The nominating committee is made up of board members with just two spaces for community members\u2019 representatives.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/backgrounderoct29.pdf\">Click here for printable version<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(October 29, 2008) \u00a0KEY FACTS:\u00a0 The McGuinty government is using its extraordinary powers under the Public Hospitals Act with unprecedented frequency to appoint Supervisors to take over community hospitals.\u00a0 Hospital Supervisors are appointed by Cabinet and are given Terms of Reference by Cabinet.
