Mission’s best-kept secret

Volunteers believe in what they’re doing Kevin Mills Mission Record
Alice Campbell believes the Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society might be the bestkept secret in Mission. “It just seems that when you speak to people on the street, they don’t know about us,” said Campbell, president of the non-profit group. While people may not know what the society does, they do interact with the more than 140 volunteers on a regular basis. The society runs the Cottage Thrift Store
on First Avenue, as well as the gift shop at Mission Memorial Hospital and offer many other services. And all of the money raised goes back to helping the hospital. “We are all volunteers. We have no paid employees. We support the hospital – that is where our focus is.” The thrift store was recently expanded and Campbell said since the expansion, “our sales have just increased enormously ... It’s been phenomenal.”

But how does the society spend the money it raises? As Campbell explained it, the hospital provides a “wish list” and the volunteers get to work. In 2015, the society committed to raising $300,000 for new ultrasound equipment for Mission. “We couldn’t come up with $300,000 in one shot so we committed to paying $100,000 a year for three years,” Campbell said. “We were excited to commit to this because it’s helping our community, but it’s also helping the valley.” The society was true to its word and recently presented the hospital with the final $100,000 donation to pay for the equipment. As well as raising funds, volunteers from the society work at the reception desk at the hospital. “We are the friendly faces at the front.” The society also supports The Residence in Mission (TRIM). TRIM is run by Fraser Health and is a three-storey residential care home organized into eight neighbourhoods. There are 25 people in each neighbourhood. Campbell said volunteers help support bus trips, entertainment and other activities for the residents. They also run special events, including Christmas gatherings
and Remembrance Day celebrations – to name a few. “It’s all about giving back to the community.” Campbell first became involved with the society 11 years ago. “When I was approached, I just thought this is something I’d like to do.” She began by volunteering at the hospital, renting TVs to patients. “I get in touch with every patient on that floor and you just chat with them. I’m a fairly social person. It’s just a pleasure working, talking to the patients, being there and you get to know them.” She said the group is always looking for new recruits. Volunteer applications are available at the hospital gift shop and the Cottage Thrift Store. New potential volunteers are interviewed and a police check is also required. “I can’t say enough about our volunteers,’ she said. “We are a group of old ladies, but we have young thoughts. We’re all committed. You think about the 140 volunteers; they wouldn’t be doing this if they weren’t committed. They believe in what they’re doing.” For more on the Mission Health Care Auxiliary Society visit: missionhealthcareauxiliary.wordpress.com

We are moving! After nearly ten years we are moving from unit 102 to unit 105 in the Hurd Street Medical Building, right between Abacus Dental Clinic and LifeLabs. We are excited to have much more room plus direct access to our clinic from the parking lot. We invite you to an Open House on Friday, February 9th, from 2–5 pm.
You may also have noticed a new face at our clinic and we are excited to welcome Derrick, our intern denturist student. His knowledge, skills and kindness are a great addition to our denture team. 2017 was a very exciting year as we provided lower suction dentures to patients as far away
as Fort St. John and Penticton. Markus was very honored to receive the BC Denturist of The Year Award 2017 for his efforts in bringing the lower suction denture technique to North America. Fischer Denture Clinic has become a Lower Suction Denture Training Centre, one of only three in Canada, and we hosted six courses for denturists and dentists throughout 2017. We invite you to find out how lower suction dentures can greatly enhance your quality of life. We look forward to seeing you all in our NEW clinic very soon.

Safer Internet Day will be held this year on February 5. The event aims to raise public awareness about security on the Web. There are many different facets to Internet fraud, and, even though police organizations are better equipped than ever before to fight this type of crime, criminals are continually refining their techniques. Identity theft is the most common type of fraud, and it is also the one that can have the most disastrous consequences for its victims. Phishing, or the sending of mass e-mails of a fraudulent nature, is a common method used to “fish” for your personal information.
Shopping online is another way for criminals to steal your identity. Whenever possible, use sites where a reliable and recognized intermediary form of payment is available online. A business that uses this type of payment might not be 100% safe, but at least it has to meet certain criteria. This

Hello, massages and goodbye, stress! Stress is said to cause 90 percent of all illness. The worst enemy of stress is the massage therapist, whose work induces relaxation, well-being, and health benefits of all kinds. You don’t need to take a day off work for a day at the spa in order to receive the benefits of massage. A short visit to a massage therapist’s office will do the trick, and some massage therapists will even travel to your home or business. About 60 minutes is the ideal time allotment for a treatment.

Do you know about qi, the vital energy that flows through the body’s meridians? If you don’t, it’s probably because you’ve never tried acupuncture. This traditional Chinese therapy acts on the qi to restore balance, thus helping improve health and alleviate pain. Acupuncture stimulates the body so that it can repair itself whenever possible. How? By stimulating specific areas called acupuncture points, which are located along the meridians. To do this, acupuncturists use special needles that they insert into the uppermost layer of skin. These needles are very fine, and when inserted the patient may find they feel like tiny mosquito bites. Acupuncturists may also use heat, pressure, a light electrical current or laser light to stimulate these points.

It’s true. You can have the freedom of living safely and securely, all in your own familiar home. If you want help with nutritious meals, housekeeping, driving to appointments, getting groceries, and getting out to activities you enjoy, you don’t have to move into an assisted living apartment. We can set up your own unique wellness program that provides safety, security, healthy meals, transportation, grocery shopping, housekeeping and fun outings and community experiences. We will help fall-proof your home and keep your mobility up. And when needed, extra care can come home too. Similar to doctors that make ‘house calls’, if you need help with medication, mobility, or personal care, our Certified Care Aides and Licensed Nurses come to assist – in the comfort of your own home.
At your first visit, the massage therapist will likely ask you to fill out a health and
wellbeing questionnaire before giving you a customized massage. She or he might target certain areas to relieve back pain, headaches, and painful muscles or he might focus on promoting restorative sleep, maximizing your concentration, reducing fatigue, or improving blood circulation.
The individual is seen as a whole, with psychological, physiological, social and spiritual aspects that can all affect health. Rather than trying to directly eliminate the symptoms of the illness, naturopaths seek to identify the cause. That is why they always ask their patients about the general state of their health, as well as
As an example, if you suffer from chronic headaches, your naturopath will attempt to discover what is causing them before establishing a treatment plan; he or she may look at your nutrition problems, stress levels and sleep patterns. In other words, this specialist relies on the patient and not the symptoms. Naturopaths may choose to use herbal medicine, nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, acupuncture and osteopathic movements to treat and prevent illness. They may also recommend a change in lifestyle habits. Naturopaths are recognized as primary care physicians in some Canadian provinces and American states. That means they can make diagnoses or order laboratory tests. Where naturopathy is not recognized, as is the case in Quebec, naturopaths are considered to be health counsellors who treat mostly minor problems and chronic illnesses.

Dental Implants This couple has something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of confidence when it came to smiling and talking. Now they enjoy the freedom of dental implants, which are as close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”
