The Foot Care Clinic, which is funded through Scugog Com- munity Care, has been in opera- tion since January of 1981 and services those who cannot prop- erly care for their own feet. Barbara Montague, R.N. trims toenails, credoes calluses and thins out nails as well as taking care of other irritations on the toes, heels and feet. Any patient with serious foot problems is referred to a Chrio- Sint at Oshawa General Hospi- tal. The clinic serves those who either cannot reach their feet or is too strenuous a task. Many clients suffer from heart trou- ble, arthritis, cataracts and dia- betes. Two volunteers and one reg- istered nurse man the clinic which operates every Thursday afternoon from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. On the first Thursday of the month it is held at the Port Perry Community Nurs- ing Home, and the following three at the Latcham Centre. Appointments are pre- booked and the cost for each sessions $5. "We try to keep the cost at a level to serve the seniors and see that they get the proper (foot) care," Mrs. Montague said. Foot care is obviously in de- mand. Marg McConnell a vol- unteer at the Foot Care clinic for the past eight years, said Marg McConnell 52 Water Street, Port Perry 985-2225 the clinic is now booking into December. On an average afternoon the clinic would see 10 individuals in three hours. The patients usually return to the clinic eve- ry 6-8 weeks for another ses- sion. Foot care is not the only ser- vice the clinic provides. "We try" tobe their friends as well," Mrs. McConnell said. She also said they see other problems as well when seniors come to the clinic. "Some may be in need of home care and many will tell Barb what they wouldn't tell anyone else," she added. If the volunteers see a prob- lem they can proceed to help the seniors. "The community is here. If I tell the doctors ere that I have a concern, the doctor will usually see the sen- ior that day," Mrs. Montague added. } Volunteers are an essential part of the Foot Care Clinic. For women, Marg McConnell, Lin- da Foy, Ann Vanderheul and Helen Van Harten volunteer their time at the clinic, as well as the volunteer drivers for Community Care who drive the clients to and from their ap- pointments.
