Hospitals take action to track AIDS risks The six general hospitals in Durham Region, through its umbrella organization, the Hos- pital Council of Durham Region have made it a priority to coor- dinate their efforts to alert for- mer patients to a possible health risk, says Jim Arm- strong, Director of the Council. "Patients who received trans- fusions of blood or blood prod- ucts between 1978 and 1985 may have been exposed to HIV, the virus which leads to Ac- vAvivione HEE D4.5 Cove (white) $ 5 00 VINYL SIDING per sq.

Some former patients may not be aware that they received any transfusion as part of their treatment in hospital," said Mr. Armstrong. Members of the Hospital Council have been working to- gether to identify former pa- tients and notify them of the po- tential risk of exposure if, in fact, they have received transfu- sions during those years. "By working together, we feel we will reach more people in a more cost-effective and responsible manner" he said. The Ontario Hospital Associ- ation launched a massive public information campaign this past summer. Its province wide ef- fort was meant to raise public consciousness of the potential risk and by extension, hospitals across the province including the six general hospitals in the Region of Durham have fol- lowed suit with awareness pro- grams. "Now, we will be attempting to contact approximately 5,000 former patients by a combina- tion of either registered letters sent directly to them or through notification by their physician," said Mr. Armstrong. To compile this list, hospitals have checked their blood transfusion and health records. The Hospital Council has rec- ommended that individuals should not wait for a letter if .they have reason to believe that they may be at risk. Any indi- vidual who has concerns should contact their family physician. The Hospital Council of Dur- ham Region strives to secure an appropriate range of high quali- ty, cost-effective health care services for Durham residents. Current membership includes the seven hospitals in the Dur- ham Region: Ajax and Picker- ing General Hospital; Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville; Oshawa General Hospital; Community Memorial Hospi- tal, Port Perry; The Cottage Hospital (Uxbridge); Whitby General Hospital and Whitby Mental Health Centre. 10% OFF Wedding Orders Port Perry Star OFFICE CENTRE 188 Mary St., Port Perry 985-7383
