CALL TO ACTION: Wingham Hospital Cuts Set To Cripple Town On Verge Of Recovery – Hospital And 30+ Jobs At Risk

At last night’s meeting, the Public was bluntly told that we must
fight to ensure the future of our hospital.  Fight, and fight
LOUD.  Wingham Hospital apparently has a $700,000+ deficit, and
to balance the budget, over 30 front line workers are losing their
jobs, or at risk of losing their jobs.  Don’t worry, management
doesn’t seem to be affected, and will likely keep driving to town to
suckle money out of our community as our hospital and community
suffer.

Hospitals are essential to the longevity of a sustainable community,
second only to a clean water supply.  These cuts will effect
services, and overworked staff are more likely to make errors.

Executive Director of Ontario Health Coalition Natalie Mehra stated
that in the last two Provincial budgets, $20,000,000 was allotted
for rural and small hospitals.  None of that money ever made to
it’s pledged cause, leaving rural Ontarians at high risk of losing
local access to health care.

HOW TO HELP

There will be an action committee formed to help
organize protests, sign and letter campaigns, and to try to have an
All Candidates” meeting in Wingham
