Rick Nicholls, MPP Chatham-Kent-Essex, met with officials from the Family Health Team in Leamington and spent some time working alongside the nurses and doctors in the Emergency Room at Leamington District Memorial Hospital on Friday, March 1. Nicholls saw firsthand the efficiencies of both the Emergency Department and the Family Health Team, as well as the major issues that these health professionals face on a daily basis. Nicholls stated “The Leamington catchment area is severely under-serviced when it comes to physicians. In addition Leamington and its rural catchment area are uniquely different than a large urban centre and thus require a hospital to serve as a centralized location for the 75,000 residents it serves. However, the nurses and doctors that we do have in this area are phenomenal at servicing the community healthcare needs.” Nicholls applauded the services of the rural hospitals versus the urban centres. “There’s a need for greater awareness of rural hospitals... As good as we are, we can always be better,” concluded the Nicholls.
