(Slowly but surely the new hos- pital to serve the southern part of York County is getting under way, under the direction of a board of trustees named by a meeting of the York Central Hos- pital Association and headed by Chairman Douglas H. Storms. As reported in a recent issue of “The Liberal" an administrator. Mr. Garry J. Ohatfield has been ap- pointed and is working on a part- time capacity, building up to the time when the progression of the hospital will call for his full time.

As you know. this has to a large extent been achieved. with approximately 95% of the population now inaured on e premium basis - these premiums representing roughly one-third of the total costs of operating On- tario's public hospitals in any one year. From funds accumulated by these premiums and other mon- ies from both the federal and provincial governments. the hos- pital is reimbursed for its oper- ating costs incurred in providing care at the standard ward level, such in drugs and medical sup- plies. salaries and wages. main- tenance costs, administrative costs and so on. The result of this activity is that the general pub- lic now has freedom from burden~ some hospital biiie and the coat or hospital care is no longer a deterrent factor for treatment which is medically necessary. Moreover, annual operating defl- cits which for so long were tra- ditional with many hospitals have now virtually disappeared. So far so good. However. there re- main certain areas of hospital fin- ancing which are not taken care of through hospital insurance. It was never the intention of the provincial government to use the hospital insurance plan as a means to finance hospital cons~ truction or expansion nor to re- covcr the original cost of equip- Perhaps the most logical place to begin is with hospital finan- cing. One of the most frequently asked questions these days when hospital financing in being dis- cussed involves the comparative responsibilities of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission (which administers the hospital insurance plan) and the commun- ity, such as our own, which is on the threshold 0‘ establishing a brand new hospital. Specifically, the area of hospital financing is of definite concern to the people of the community and to those public- spirited citizens who must spgiarh'ead a project oct_this type. _. ,_v,-vv nun yaw.

Developing a balanced and Integrated system of hospitals and hospital facilities throughout On- tario. i First of all, may I say that I iconsider it a very great privilege to have been asked to be the Ad- ministrator of your hospital when its doors are open to the people of York County. From my own experience in the hospital field I can appreciate the work and ded- ication by many people â€" and the generous support of the whole community â€" that is so necessary in the planning and construction of a new hospital. It is a pleasure to witness the unselfish devotion and leadership which is being given by your hospital’s Board of Governors, combined with the enthusiasm and the valuable-as- sistance of the medical practition- ers in this area. This is indeed a wonderful undertaking designed to provide the active treatment h05pital facilities and services which are so desperately needed in this area. At this time, you as residents or! the area which this hospital will eventually serve. will probably be anxious to know how the addition of a 130-bed hospi- tal will afieot the community and also perhaps get some insight in- to hospital afl'airs and the inner workings of a hospital in gener- additional hospital accommoda- tion for York County.

K The provincial commission is responsible, along with the fed- eral government, for giving ap- proved to the final plans 02 any hospital construction project. On approval, it ays established grants on the usis of hospital beds and floor areas of certain service departments within that hospital. In this case, county council is also contributing fin- ancial assistance to the capital nature. Finally. and of immense importance. the people oi! this community will be asked to com tribute to this worthy project, thus bringing the pride of owner- ship to its logical level â€"- the local level. The community, with the combined resources on! the county council grants and public subscription, wild finance approx- imately two-thirds of the total cost or constructing and equip- pill; a hospital in Richmond Hill. Here in York County, our Coun- ty Councfl has taken an import- ant step in heaping to alleviate the urgent need for hespital fa- cilities through the provisions of grants to supplement those of the senior levels oat government. Councillors' wisdom in this mat- ter will be of immense benefit to the people 0! this community for many, many years to come and their leadership should be an in- spiration to initiate full and com- plete public support for the re- maining funds necessary to see a modern. well-equipped hospital in Richmond Hill to serve the surrounding district. ~ "nu ! an incentive to the community grow 8 to solve the problem of the ad: of adequate hospital fa- cilities within their own area â€" thus retaining the initiative and the final ownership at the com- munity or local level.

As the hospital remains a non-profit institution it therefore requires community financial support for programmes designed to expand or enlarge the hospital's capacity to render a useful service to the residents of that community. The quality of care given in a hospital can be deleterioust affected by inade~ quate financing. as evidenced in the areas of physical plant and equipment. It is axiomatic that, other factors being equal, the hospital with an adequate plant and modern equipment should be in a position to provide better care to the residents of that com- munity. We all believe that the people of this area deserve the best possible care and we must ensure that the physical plant and equipment are sudh that, with adequate human resources, sugh careris provided. It's a pretty stirring sight to watch the boys in action forming up, wheeiing into position, with the trumpets blaring and the drums booming and rattling. And there’s a fine spigit of ‘give and take’ between the youthful bands- men and their adult instructors. In short. the Richmond Hill P01- ice Boys' Band is another very good reason for "The Hill's" con- sistently few cases of juvenile delinquency. "The Liberal" was down at Lions Hall last Tuesday evening to watch the boys in action. They meet at the hall every Tuesday from 7 to 9.30 pm. and receive individual as well as group train- ing during practice sessions. All the music is their own composi- tion. They are pretty proficient on three pieces and are hard at work on the fourth. What some might temporarily lack in finesse they make up in verve. One se- lection is titled "Richmond Hill” and another "The Chief", in hon- our of the president. ‘ police force. Lions. Civitans. Kinsmen and Rotary. The needed money comes from fund-raising projects. club donations. private and general contributions. “Sup- pont ls good," said the Chief. “I think everyone in the adult world connected directly or indirectly with the band appreciates its value. Band work prov-ides an ex- cellent outlet for young creative- ness and a safe channel for the energy of the boys."
