Monday on my Facebook feed I saw a head line from 98.1 The
Tide (St. Stephen Radio Station). “Concerned Citizens Say They Want their Own
Health Plan for CCH.” http://thetide.ca/news/1875008512/concerned-citizens-group-say-they-want-their-own-health-plan-cch
Excerpt from article:
Co-Chair of CCCC, John Gardner
says enough is enough, and the group has now put a proposal on the table for
government, asking the authorities to work with them to develop a plan for the
hospital to move forward, "If the authorities are not willing to work with
us, then we're requesting the Premier to instruct Horizon Health to turn over
the [Charlotte County] Hospital's operating budget to the residents of
Charlotte County. We want to go back to an independent board, who will operate
the hospital, independent from Horizon Health."Gardner claims, if this goes through, it will be big for rural New Brunswick, calling us the "canary in the coalmine" as everyone is watching Charlotte County right now.

Charlotte County residents, just put a spotlight on the
elephant in the room!
I would be surprised if other
areas/residents/hospitals/facilities have not thought the same thing.
Excerpt From Article:
Health Minister Victor Boudreau said he
doesn’t see that happening.
“I think that would be taking a step
back in the way our hospitals were governed in the past,” Boudreau said. In “my” opinion, he doesn’t even
believe this. Mr. Boudreau, your eyes gave you away. You might want to work on
that.
#VictorBoudreau,
how would this option, be taking a step back for ANY health care facility in
the Province of New Brunswick?
How could
communities do any worse than what Horizon Health Network has been doing since
2008? Lose services to a hospital, lose the hospital all together? I have more
faith in the residents of Charlotte County taking care of their hospital, than
anyone else.
No one else is
fighting for Charlotte County Hospital harder than residents of Charlotte
County. The Premier is not fighting for it. Victor Boudreau is not fighting for
it. Horizon Health is not fighting for it. MLA’s are not fighting for it.
Have Charlotte
County Residents heard a peep out of MLA John Ames and Minister Rick Doucet
since Saturday?
Have they called out Victor Boudreau publicly
after what transpired Saturday? Victor Boudreau had no issue throwing them
under the bus publicly. Are they hiding under a rock? Did someone remove hands
from the puppets?
Of course Victor
Boudreau is going to “tell residents” that it would be a step back.
Charlotte
County…It is possible! Victor Boudreau knows it. Horizon Health knows it.
Stay tuned for
Part 2 of “Spotlight on the Elephant in the Room.”
