www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday November 1, 2008 - 23 OHF seeks feedback Between friends The Oakville Hospital Foundation (OHF) is looking for community feedback. The Foundation is currently looking to Oakville residents to provide feedback on communication they receive from the organization; for example, whether residents are aware of the Foundation's initiatives and where they look for information on Oakville issues. In the coming weeks, representatives from the Foundation will be conducting surveys at select malls throughout Oakville to seek answers to these questions and others. "We feel it is important to ask Oakville residents how we are doing and what we can do better," said Mike Bartlett, OHF managing director. "Through this feedback process we hope to identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities to improve our communication initiatives," said Bartlett. In recent years, the OHF has expanded the annual publications, launched an improved website featuring more opportunities for interaction and formed local media partnerships. The current surveying campaign is yet another step the Foundation is taking to effectively improve its communication with the community. The Foundation's survey is for research purposes only and, on average, will take a maximum of five minutes to complete.

These are but a few of the multitude of conditions associated with celiac disease, which, once considered rare, is now estimated as affecting up to one per cent of people in Canada or 325,000 Canadians. Celiac disease is a medical condition in which the life sustaining absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten -- the generic name for the proteins found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. It is the gluten in the flour that helps bread and other baked goods bind. In celiac disease, intestinal damage from gluten seriously reduces the ability of the body to absorb essential nutrients. Common symptoms are anemia, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, cramps and bloating, irritability. Until recently physicians had to rely on clinical signs to suggest the diagnosis. Now blood tests help with the screening process. Celiac disease has no known cure, but can usually be controlled with strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. The Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) is a national organization that provides services and support to persons with celiac disease. For more information, call the CCA at 1-800363-7296 or visit www.celiac.ca. · IVF patients who had acupuncture had a 42% pregnancy rate.
