Timiskaming Health Unit Brie?ng Note To: Englehart Council Committee of the Whole Information for consideration: In Response to Letter from a Community Member and Request for Presentation to Council Regarding Client Services at the THU Englehart Satellite Office. Prepared by: Erin Cowan, Manager of Infectious Diseases/CNO Presented by: Dr. Monika Dutt, Medical Officer of Health/ChiefExecutive Officer Date: February 13"‘,2019 Background: The Englehart Timiskaming Health Unit office has seen a reduction in office and clinic days over the last several years. Clinic days in the Englehart office were further decreased to one day per week in September of 2018. Decisions such as these have been carefully considered by management and the Board of Health and are informed by evidence such as clinic demand, an evolving health system and provincial mandate for public health. In late 2018, staffing capacity and clinic demand had decreased and the Timiskaming Health Unit management team decreased the clinic day to one day/week, offering one evening clinic per month. Current Situation: Englehart Clinic Appointments b Current in-office services available in Englehart and across the program y district include: immunization across the lifespan, sexual health clinics, TBtesting, harm reduction supply distribution, Health 800 Babies Healthy Children programming, Healthy Smiles Ontario, 600 and water testing services. 400 There is currently no waiting list to see a nurse and when 100 they are made for the following II I. kl:II. appointments are scheduled, 2013 2014 2015..2016 2017 2018 Tuesday. The public can still call the health unit during business hours to answer inquiries, speak to a nurse, or to schedule HBHC Sexual Health appointments. A receptionist is available in-office two additional days/week and dental clinics also operate in the office regularly. The demand for clinical services has decreased which can be attributed to many factors such as the integration of a comprehensive school team which provides immunization and sexual health services, the increased presence of a Family Health Team, and an evolving Public Health mandate. The Ontario Public Health Standards no longer require health units to provide sexual health services or travel health services, yet the Timiskaming Health Unit has ensured that these services remain available across the district. However; the changing mandate of public health has required careful priority-setting, evaluation of community needs, and continuous monitoring of staffing capacity. Since the reduction of clinic days a few months ago, we have been able to meet local needs. We ensured community partners such as the local Family Health Team were aware of the change in hours. We have not received any complaints, and in particular, no complaints indicating a service was unavailable/inaccessible.
