Focusing on our patients and residents rnprior Regional Health is committed to providing a broad scope of services to ensure high quality, appropriate care close to home. Here are just a few highlights from the past year:
A
We are working closely with our community partners to bring more services to Arnprior. Assisted Living is an excellent example. It matches the needs of seniors and their caregivers with the appropriate local support services to help seniors stay in their own homes and avoid premature admission to the hospital or long-term care homes.
This year, the Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital introduced a new Medical Day Program. It offers a variety of services, including blood transfusions, provided in a dedicated clinical setting for enhanced privacy and patient comfort.
We continue to collaborate with health and community partners. The Arnprior and District Family Health Team (FHT) is settling in well and providing comprehensive care in the Primary Health Care Centre and Pakenham. In fact, the team has been able to enrol 2000 new patients in the past six months alone. And a partnership with The Grove and Arnprior District High School provides intergenerational connections between the residents and the students.
You can’t miss them – our wonderful volunteers in their new blue smocks! For 50 years, they have provided service with a smile at the hospital and The Grove. Last year, 213 dedicated women, men and students provided 19,754.3 hours of volunteer service. Thank you!
By the Numbers
Residents, families, staff, and community members have all been involved in the planning for the redevelopment of The Grove Nursing Home. The sense of pride and ownership is clearly evident. New technology called e-MAR keeps track of each resident’s medication, including exactly when it is given. Doctors and nurses can track the information, reducing the possibility of a medication administration error. And the Adult Day Program continues to provide respite for local residents – thanks to our partners the United Way and Carefor.
Recently, we welcomed Dr. Chris Brown, our third Orthopedic surgeon, focusing on knee scopes, basic fractures and bunions. Dr. Brown ďŹ rst came to ADMH during his residency and says he knew he would come back because he loves the small hospital environment.

Foundation News Partners in Caring (PIC) has been very busy this year, due to the incredible support of local businesses and members of our local communities. Together, we continue to support both the Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital and The Grove Nursing Home by raising funds for much needed medical equipment. The PIC Board of Directors was pleased to ofďŹ cially ďŹ nalize the ER Campaign with the arrival of a beautiful new donor wall, designed by local artist Stephen Braithwaite. The wall is located in the ER waiting room.

This past year, PIC announced an ambitious fundraising campaign for the Digital Mammography Unit – one of the best tools for the detection of breast cancer. Led by Campaign Chair Kimberley O’Shaughnessy, the campaign to raise $400,000 was launched on Valentine’s Day and we’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of our local communities. Signature events have included the Breast Ball golf tournament, dancing the night away at Mardi Bras, and the 12th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting. PIC also beneďŹ ted from many third party events too numerous to list. The new Legacy Giving Program provides donors with another option when planning their estates. This year, more than $300,000 has been received.
Thank you to our generous communities for your ongoing support! Arnprior Chronicle-Guide EMC - Thursday, June 28, 2012 29
