Tony Joosse Save & Rebuild WLMH

Posted by Gayle Lucas Roth on Jan 09, 2019

http://savewlmh.ca

Tony Joosse is co- chair of the Save and Rebuild Campaign for West Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

Tony presented a history of the Hospital's relationship with the Government since 2012, when approval to rebuild was awaiting the Minister of Health's signature. It was not signed.

LHINs were put in place.

In 2015,16,and 17 " Our Healthy Future" was put in place with a plan for the entire Hamilton Region.

In 2016 the Rebuilding Committee presented their 4 anchors: Emerg; Obstetrics; Day Surgery; Community Medicine. These were endorsed in Feb. 2018 and okayed in March 2018 and forwarded where they sat on the Minister's desk.

45 of 48 local doctors practice at the hospital. Governments like this.

In August 2018 the mayors met with Christine Elliott. Sam O. arranged for Doug Ford and Christine Elliott to come to the hospital on October 22. The committee had to tell the HHS that the 2 politicians were coming.

That information appeared to be the motivation for the announcement that WLH would close for 27 months. DR. G. Benson resigned and the hospital lost four nurses, although two have since returned.

Doug Ford was speaking in the area and Tony told Doug Ford " We need a hospital". Doug Ford committed to sitting down with Tony and Christine Elliott. At that meeting the Committee was given$ .5 million to finalize their plans. A consultant's report said the hospital needs 8 million dollars worth of work. The Community is responsible for 10% of the cost , plus the parking lot and all the equipment.

It is clear there is political will in Toronto, but the question remains :" What about HHS? " We have 2 representatives out of 50.

It was 8:30 am and the meeting had to be adjourned. I'm sure Tony had more to tell us. I went away thankful that we have such amazing citizens who are effectively advocating for our local hospital's continuation.

Happy New Year 2019
