For Immediate Release LAURIE SCOTT PLEASED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANNOUCEMENT OF PERMANENT DIALYSIS UNIT AT ROSS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (Lindsay, Ontario) Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Victoria-Brock was very pleased to acknowledge the tremendous efforts by the community as well as representatives from Lindsay’s Ross Memorial Hospital who have been rewarded with an announcement today of a permanent 15-bed dialysis program.
“This is great news for our community and for those who have been pressing for permanent dialysis services at Ross Memorial,” said Scott. “We know that both our community and Ross Memorial Hospital have a very strong capacity to support this important program.”
The Peterborough Regional Health Program, which operates the regional dialysis center, has been working at capacity for a number of years and Ross Memorial Hospital has recently been providing a number of patients with temporary dialysis services.
Scott has been pressing the Minister and has forwarded her strong support of a permanent unit at Ross Memorial Hospital, on behalf of the representatives from the community.
“This will certainly help alleviate the strain on Peterborough Regional Health, as well as reduce some of the burden to patients and families by providing much-needed dialysis services closer to home.”
“I want to thank the local members for their persistence in obtaining this unit for our community,” added Scott. “Although I wish the Minister would have listened to us sooner I am very pleased that our residents will be receiving this service locally.”
