PERRY STAR -- Tuesday. June,27. 1989 -- 33 Toe tappin', hand first par 4 By Sagi a. tok a RO clappin' music for k concert ay wr future looks brighter as last year's The financial picture for Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry has improved con- siderably over last year, accord- ing to reports presented at the annual meeting June 21. Faced with a growing defi- cit of some $200,000 last year, the hospital will break even and may show a small surplus by the end of the current fiscal year next March. Administrator David Brown told the annual meeting there are two reasons for theim- proved financial picture: the Ministry of Health recognized that the hospital was in a diffi- cult financial position and in- creased the grant level, and he said, hospital departments were able to trim costs. And after several years of upward growth, the statistical report for the hospital showed a relatively modest overall in- crease in activity of about four per cent. The hospital last fiscal year had an overall budget of $4.66 million. While the hospital's overall budget picture is brighter this year than a Jear ago, Board Chairman Rodd Foster took the opportunity at the annual meet- ing to mildly rebuke the local Township council for the size of the municipal grant for the hos- $200,000 deficit pital's expansion project. The hospital had asked the council for a grant of $160,000 per year for three years for the expansion fund. The council ear-marked $50,000. In his remarks at the annu- al meeting, Mr. Foster said local councils should take some of the responsibility for health care capital costs. "I hope we can get some more enthusiasm from some of the council members," he said. After all, it is local govern- ment that is approving all the new new subdivisions which mean more people and more treatment at the hospital." He said hospitals are just as important as other facilities like areans, parks and swim- ming pools. "Thisis not a political state- ment," said Mr. Foster with a smile, "just food for thought." The new hospital board, ap- proved at the annual meeting will be made up of the following people: Rodd Foster, Ted Griff- en, Joyce Kelly, Rand Scott, Elaine Buchanan, oward Hall, Kent Farndale, Derek Willis, Doug Hillier and Ted Kemp. Dr. R. Allin is the presi- dent of the medical staffand Dr. M Monshisn is chief of medical staff. At the annual meeting, sev- erased eral employees were presented with service pins. Faye Taylor and Gail Wal- lace received 20-year pins; Da- vid Brown a 15-year pin; and Bette Hodgins and Linda Mac- Donald, ten-year pins. Volunteer pins were pre- sented to the following persons: Muriel Coates, Minnie DeJong, Margaret Demara, Joan God- ley, Vera Hazelhurst, Doris Hollinger, Lynn-Marie John- son, Bonnie McKee, Georgina Midgley, Cy Watson, Emily Ba- dour, Joan Cowdy, Ann Peek and Helen Watson. Adult volunteers last year contributed 4,427 hours of time to the hospital. available at the Port Perry Star RETA For more information call 985-7383
