This included: the untimely death of Dough Michel; the end OfsBix-Year terins for Marie Lauzier, Cathy Cmftbhick, Joan Hunt and Aileen Murray; reappointments for Neil Colins, Jean FreBe, John Dick and Sharon Mcllvean;- and the aPpointmnent of Molly MeCrea as chair. In addition, nine new appointmnents were made to the board: Claire Faner, Shirley Sharkey, Lois Lafieur, Gwen Hurst, Stan CaverlY, Mary McGregor-Olewes,, Jeanette Millar-Rogers, Sarita Bopanna, %ay Mouledale. oThe Commujnity Advisory B3oard completed a review Of its operation and organized fta future activities around three committees: Quality Care, Education and CommnunitY Relations and Advocacy and Advice. *The comxnunity advisory board took the lead to study varlous alternative delivery. approaches pertaining te the governance ofIWMHC. *eAnnual clinical program changes ooeurred during the past year. WMHC's six major prOgramn areas were reaffilrmed and established under the following tities: 1. Adolescents and Young Adults (Adolescent Secure and Rehabilitation; Sills training, Treatmnent and Education) 2. Psychogeriatric 3. Special Populations oesycho-therapy; Dual Diagnosis) 4. Psychiatric Réhabilitation 5. Foresnsic Assessment, Con-sultation and Treatment (FACT> 6. Community Response (Assese-ment and Stabilization) *The five-week strike by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) in February and March ha7d a major impact on WMHC's operations. Only minimal care and treatruent was possible for in-patients and out-patients during this- period. Post-strike, aIl employees diligently worked to establish full service tu the public as soon as possible. eThe centre submitted an operating plan for 1996/1997 for review by the Mlnistry of Health and the district health counicils of York Region, Durham Region, Metropolitan Toronto and Haliburton- Kawartha and Pine Ridge. The plan detailed linical and administrative operations with a $42.7-million operation for the fiscal year. *Fiscal redictions of two per cent on total operations for 1996/1997 have beein applied by the Ministry of Hlealth jand measures have been proposed or talcen to, operate within the allocation. Specific efforts have been taken to achieve operational efficiencies without direct impact on patient/consumer service. For example, WMHC's laboratory needs will now be provided tlirough contracted services rather than in-house. *WMHC introduced a new program and organization structure based on patient/consumer and prograni focused principles underpinning the "Organizational Change - Programn Management" initiative. Full implementation will occur by fiscal year- end and will result in enhanoed program accountabiîity and excellence, .lIn the proceos, the management structure of WMEIC ha. been reorganized and downsized. ePlanning continues for the establishment of a community réhabilitation programn in Durhamn Region to provide a range of vocational and works options for out-patients. CMHA Durham is a key participant with WMWHC in this venture. *The four district health councils in WMHC's catchment area in the paut Yeu have* been very active in mental health needs assessment and system, design and WMHC has been directly mnvolved. ..*The Community' Investment Fund, totalling $23.5 million, was announeed by Health Minister Jim Wilson in May 1996. This will add much needed commuit mental health services te WHCs service area as well as the rest of Ontario. *WMHCs effective partnership continued with the il general hospitals with psychiatrie units and the Coordinating and Advisory Council in York Region (Co-AD) via the WMHC Catchment Area Planning and Coordination Group. *WMHC sponsored a nuniber of key mental health conferenoes, seminars and educational events during the past year as part of the centre's commitment te public, consumer, family . and professional education. *In addition te patient/consumer S»r, the major locus for WMHC during the past yearhas been preparation for the move te- the newly constructed replacement facility on the exdisting site. The new building will add modern systems, provide superior spaoe for patient/consumer treatment and care, and achieve much improved operation efficiencies. The new integrated structure, with 50 per cent of the sa ce available in the present outdated and dysfunctional buildings in operation, will more readily facilitate- service- provision' and add operational fieibility that is not possible curreirtly. 32,587,120 74.55 34,286M970 75M8 5,458,920 12.49 5,483,457 12.13 THE TZR LV EVIZEW L 1,,,,.*. 1' 1 Umm 1
