IS A 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT IMPORTANT?

EMC News - Campbellford - Hospital directors received a healthy dose of good news at their monthly meeting June 6. They learned Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) finished the 2012-2013 fiscal year with a surplus of $4,000, more of its patients are returning home faster, and people aren’t having to wait as long to be seen in the emergency department. “I was pleasantly surprised that it did come in as a small surplus, because I thought it would be a small deďŹ cit,â€? Pat Sheridan, chair of the hospital’s ďŹ nance committee, told the directors. “Turning it around was good. The staff has done a tremendous job.â€? President and CEO Brad Hilker credited the hard work of staff, physicians

and volunteers for ďŹ nishing the ďŹ scal year March 31 with a balanced budget of roughly $18.2 million. Hilker also took pride in the hospital being able to reduce the number of days spent in hospital by alternative level of care patients by 45 per cent, or 1,656 days through its Restorative Care Unit, which opened in February 2012, and the Home First program. The unit, with the support of a multidisciplinary team, helps the patients regain their strength and improve their levels on individual function and independence, while Home First ensures safe and timely care, services and supports are in place when they return home. The Restorative program has received “very positive feedbackâ€? from family members, who gain insight into the care the

patient will receive upon discharge, Hilker said. “CMH is providing an environment that encourages more effective transitions to home, and reduces the chances of patient readmission to the hospital or a prolonged hospital The hospital has also managed to lower wait times in the emergency department in accordance with its Quality Improvement Plan goal, which was that patients with minor or uncomplicated health issues would have to wait 4.3 hours rather than 4.5 hours nine times out of ten. The recent addition of a nurse practitioner to the emergency department is expected to result in even further improvements. The hospital once again earned lab accreditation by achieving a 96.4 per cent compliance rate on 472 standards.

EMC News - Hastings - Hastings Revitalization Association (HRA) has ďŹ nally got its wish: the Municipality of Trent Hills will support its efforts to improve the section of trail between the marina and the railway bridge at the west end of the village. The association wants the local portion of the Trans Canada Trail raised to the same standard as now exists on the link between Hastings and Peterborough, CAO Mike Rutter told council June 4. The work will involve clearing, grubbing, adding limestone screenings to the base, grading and compacting, at a cost of $21,020, according to a quote the association obtained from Drain Brothers Excavating. Its vision is to create a trail designed for passive use in the summer, that doesn’t allow motorized vehicles such as ATVs, but does permit snowmobiles to cross over it in the winter time, because they won’t damage the bed, Rutter said. He noted the HRA, which is prepared to contribute $14,000 to the project, has been “keenâ€? to get under way for a long time but has been unable to obtain funding from other sources to begin the work. Rutter pointed out the municipality can make up the difference by accessing funds available in a working reserve that was created for Hastings when Trent Hills was formed through amalgamation. Deputy-mayor Bob Crate said, “It’s necessary to do something and get it done because they’ve been working hard a number of years to get this moneyâ€? and the municipality should help the association to ensure “we have volunteers for the future.â€? The HRA would also like to install a gate at the end of Homewood Avenue to restrict trafďŹ c from entering the trail and to prevent damage as well as illegal uses, such as overnight camping, Rutter said in his report to council.
