To the North Shuswap community: Jay Simpson The year 2015 will be pivotal to the future of the North Shuswap Health Centre. As we know, there is no resident doctor practicing in the North Shuswap and residents and visitors are having to make the decision to take up with a new physician in Chase, Salmon Arm or Kamloops. We understand that this decision is difficult for many to make and understand that many residents require a family doctor and cannot wait for a new physician in Scotch Creek. Please make the decision that is right for your family. But please remember there are services in Scotch Creek and we encourage you to use all the services offered. In particular, the VDoc virtual doctor service current- ly offered every Friday needs your support. Dr Mike Figur- ski is available via TV monitor and audio link to discuss NORTH SHUSWAP HEALTH CENTRE SERVICES your medical concerns.

The North Shuswap Health Centre Society is continuing its efforts with physician recruitment. We have joined forces with other rural Shuswap com- munities in a Rural Shuswap Health Service Network, an advocacy group that promotes sustainable rural health and allied services for the Shuswap and surrounding areas.

DID YOU KNOW ……. Love effects the chemical processes in the brain that affect how we feel . When we’re with a significant other, the body releases hormones, like oxytocin and dopamine, that signal feelings of trust, pleasure, and reward. And all that happens in the brain may be good for the heart— literally. Scientists suggest blood pressure is lowered when romantic partners feel familiar and comfortable with each other. 44 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER FEBRUARY 2015
