The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) had sent out a letter informing everyone of the move of the Manitoba Ostomy Program (MOP) program to ACCESS Transcona on Regent. This letter created some confusion amongst members who aren't affected by this move. I hope that the second letter has clarified the situation for you. Anyone who normally sees ETs Mary Robertson and Carisa Ewanyshyn will need to travel to Transcona. All other ostomates will continue to make appointments with their ETs at Health Sciences Centre (HSC) or St. Boniface Hospital (St.B) as usual. The ostomy supply depot on Pearl Street has not changed.
As ConvaTec's first prize of $700.00 for World Ostomy Day (WOD) held on October 7, 2006 was the result of the work of Chapter members, we are looking for ways to spend it that would benefit all members. Any ideas? Let me know.
You will also notice that I have spelled out the complete name of the organizations followed by the acronym in brackets as much as possible to avoid misunderstandings. I do hope that you all will be appreciative of this endeavour and find it helpful.
Best Regards,
Lorrie
