SOS targets trustees - Chatham Daily News - Ontario, CA
Volunteer hospital board of trustee members were put on the hot seat during last night's Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Tri-Board meeting.
Conrad Noel, vice-chairman of the Save Our Sydenham committee, asked trustees to vacate their seats so they can be replaced with people who are interested in representing the interests of the community.
He was one of three local residents to address hospital trustees about community concerns over the Hay report to the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network, recommending the closure of the Sydenham District Hospital emergency department.
Wallaceburg Coun. Sheldon Parsons served notice there are 220 applications for membership with the SDH corporation and the number is growing.
He hopes to see that number grow to 1,000 to have voting power to elect representatives to fill what he understands is three of seven positions on the SDH board, which will be up for consideration at its annual meeting on June 22.
SOS chairman, Jeff Wesley, told the tri-board it seems like every five years Wallaceburg has to fight to keep services at SDH.
Another tool in the accountabiiity arsenal - target the public directors and trustees - So far the SoS group is adding pressure to all the right points- to be continued- QJ
"Now we're at the point where a lot of people are fed up," Wesley said.
