She also outlined on the continuing threats to smaller and rural hospitals caused by cutbacks in healthcare from successive provincial governments.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Labelle of the Durham Health Coalition (DHC) had some motivational words for local citizens concerned about the proposed hospital merger: \u201cI\u2019m here to tell you that you can win. It\u2019s worthwhile for this community to put up a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mehra and Labelle were two of four speakers in Lindsay for an information session organized by the Peterborough and Ontario Health Coalitions (PHC\/OHC) about the proposed merger between Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) and the Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC).<\/p>\n<p>More than 80 concerned residents gathered to hear cautionary tales and stories of inspiration about hospital mergers that have happened elsewhere in the province and the local efforts to stop or blunt them.<\/p>\n<p>Charlene Avon \u2014 a retired nurse and Chair of the PHC and Board Member of the OHC \u2014 moderated the event that informed attendees about previous mergers in the province and the efforts of local citizens to fight those changes. The OHC is a non-partisan provincial advocacy group whose mission is to \u201cprotect and improve our public health care system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Labelle informed the gathering about the succession of mergers in the Durham area, and the efforts of the DHC to stop or at least modify their effects on the local community.<\/p>\n<p>Shirley Roebuck, a retired nurse from the Wallaceburg\/Walpole Island First Nation Health Coalition described efforts to maintain community hospital functions at the Wallaceburg Hospital (now merged with Chatham-Kent Health Alliance.) The Wallaceburg hospital (serving a town of 10,000 plus the local area and a nearby First Nation) now only has five beds in its hospital, although, through much community activism, the emergency room and other services were saved.<\/p>\n<p>Mehra shared the loss of services that have occurred in community hospitals in the mergers that have happened in the Niagara region.<\/p>\n<p>Maggie Jewell, a local resident and nurse at the RMH spoke to the often crowded conditions at the Ross, and echoed the sentiment of many in the room that more services are needed in the City of Kawartha Lakes\u2019 only hospital, not less.<\/p>\n<p>Panel participants stressed that it is not always about \u2018winning\u2019 and stopping a merger. \u201cYou can get a significant commitment to keep services in your community,\u201d by organized opposition to the merger, according to Labelle.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting ended with questions and answers \u2014 and discussion amongst attendees of next steps, including the formation of a Kawartha Lakes Health Coalition to save localized services. Several participants commented on the difficulties they have been having on communicating with local MPP Laurie Scott on this \u2014 or any other issue \u2014\u00a0 affecting local residents.<\/p>\n<p>The open and frank talk about expected changes to local services was in stark contrast to the staid information sessions that were organized by the RMH and the PRHC. At those meetings, all discussions of how a merger would affect services was considered \u201coutside the scope\u201d of the consultation.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the last planned hospital-ran public consultation (which was to be held in Lindsay on Aug. 29) was postponed so that the hospitals could consider \u201cnew information.\u201d When asked about the nature of this new information, Kim Coulter, Coordinator of Employee &amp; Community Relations at the RMH told\u00a0<em>The Lindsay Advocate<\/em>\u00a0that \u201cthe matters under review are subject to a confidentiality agreement, and therefore cannot be released.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was clear from last night\u2019s meeting led by the OHC that when similar mergers were allowed to proceed unchecked elsewhere in the province, local services were lost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a merger, a local hospital [like the RMH] is no longer considered a hospital [by the merged entity], it is just a department,\u201d warned Avon. She added that there are allies everywhere in the fight for the hospital \u2014 including at the Ross.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have excellent staff at Ross\u2026who are going to be allies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And seemingly small cuts, justified with terms like efficiency, can have a drastic effect on local services: \u201cIf you lose lab services, if you lose diagnostics, you stand to lose your hospital,\u201d warned Mehra.<\/p>\n<p>The OHC encourages all local residents to get involved to save the services both at the RMH, the PRHC and the healthcare system in general by attending a rally at Queen\u2019s Park to advocate for rebuilding and improving healthcare in the province. Local coach busses have been arranged.<\/p>\n<p>For information on the rally or to help form a Kawartha Lakes Health Coalition, contact Avon at 705-761-4408. The rally at Queen\u2019s Park is being held on October 23 at Noon.<\/p>\n<p>For Kawartha Lakes residents who could not make the Lindsay meeting there is another meeting tonight, Sept. 13, in Peterborough from 7-9 p.m. at the Peterborough Lions Centre at 347 Burnham St.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013with files from Roderick Benns.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lindsayadvocate.ca\/resistance-is-not-futile-fight-for-ross-memorial-because-threat-to-services-is-real-says-ohc\/\">http:\/\/lindsayadvocate.ca\/resistance-is-not-futile-fight-for-ross-memorial-because-threat-to-services-is-real-says-ohc\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEWS.
