Malton Community Health Centre Receives Funding to Launch!
August 19, 2011: Provincial Minister of Health, the Honourable Deb Matthews, announced today that Malton Community Health Centre will receive funding this year to open a permanent facility. The announcement is welcome news after a long wait and efforts by many members of the Malton community, the healthcare profession and political figures to push for the funding release.
“We are ecstatic. This is a wonderful development for the community,” said Mayo Hawco, Executive Director of the Malton Community Health Centre (MCHC) and Bramalea Community Health Centre (BCHC). “The Government of Ontario has heard the calls for action from healthcare professionals and Malton community members alike and we are thrilled that Malton Community Health Centre will soon open its doors. Many people have worked long and hard to make this day a reality. We look forward to welcoming all of them through our doors when we open,” she added.
The announcement comes after a concerted effort by BCHC staff and Malton community members to bring attention to the urgent need for integrated healthcare services in the community. Ms. Matthews announced that funding for MCHC will come from an allocation of capital funds in the province’s infrastructure development plan.
Over the last few years, Bramalea Community Health Centre has led community engagement meetings in Malton regarding the healthcare needs of the community and the optimal service offerings of the future MCHC. “We are in a great position to move forward with primary care services, a Healthy Smiles clinic funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care and an occupational health clinic,” says Hawco. “People are ready to welcome MCHC into the community. Once we receive the funding, we are ready to hit the ground running to get services operating as soon as possible.”
Malton Community Health Centre will provide integrated primary health care services delivered by a multi-disciplinary team of health care professionals. Through primary care and coordinated, integrated health services with partner organizations, it will serve 3,000 seniors, newcomers and families each year. Plans for the permanent site also include space for a community kitchen, meeting facilities and other community-strengthening activities.
The Kind of Healthcare you Deserve!

Malton’s first Community
Health Centre seeks place to land
Malton has acquired a Community Health Centre (CHC) with staff that include doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, social worker, chiropodist, physiotherapist, health promoter and educators.
That's the good news! The challenging news is that the funding to establish a home for the CHC in Malton has been delayed; considerably delayed. So, Malton CHC seeks a partner to provide space for its staff and programs to operate.
Potential partners could be employers with health clinics on site, unions with halls in the community or any possible Malton establishment with assets that could be used on an interim basis to run Malton CHC's primary care and other services.
Malton CHC is even hoping to establish an occupational health clinic for Newcomers, so the connection now to industry and labour would be very appropriate.
What's in it for the community or industry partner? That's very much open for discussion, but the philosophy of Malton CHC emphasizes integration of resources for the health of all. So, as one example, if a company gave us a home, we could provide primary care to its employees who do not currently have a family doctor. Once the Malton CHC relocates to a permanent location, those employees could continue their care with us.
But, no matter how you approach it, whoever helps Malton CHC find a home will generate an enormous amount of goodwill in the community. In the final analysis, it’s all about doing the right thing.

Malton Waits for Community Health Centre

The Region of Peel is taking action during the 2011 provincial election!!
Today the Region of Peel officially launched its provincial election and community engagement campaign, PeelAsksWhy.ca. Leading up to the October 6, 2011 provincial election we are encouraging all community organizations and residents to get involved and ask their candidates the question:
Why do Peel residents wait months or even years for community health and social services that are
important to us all?
You can get involved today by visiting our website at www.peelaskswhy.ca, and joining our discussion on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word to all candidates that Peel Region is seeking answers to some important questions that affect us all.
As you are aware, access to provincially funded community services in Peel has not kept pace with our growing population, posing some real challenges for our community organziations. Peel residents wait much longer than other Ontarians for key support services, such as affordable housing, mental health and childcare services.
The success of this campaign will be because of your involvement throughout the campaign. We are looking to all our community partners to join our conversation and share your stories about what the next government Ontario can do to seriously address the lack of access to key community services in Peel.
Together we can make a difference. You just need to ask WHY.
Regards,
Lowell

Bramalea CHC has been BHO accredited!
Building Healthier Organizations (BHO) is the formal accreditation tool chosen by Community Health Centres (CHCs). BHO began as an initiative of the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC) and the Ontario Ministry of Health in the early 1990’s with centres being asked to go through the accreditation process every three years. To administer the tool and implement the review process, Community Organizational Health Inc. (COHI) was incorporated as a separate and independent not-for-profit, non-governmental organization responsible for delivering BHO. BHO is primarily a peer review process leading to accreditation. It is a process for organizations to evaluate their services and systems against acknowledged standards of good practice that support sustainability and learning.
We are very proud to announce that we have passed BHO accreditation. This is a very big, and exciting accomplishment for such a young organization!
If you would like to read more on this process please visit the BHO website.
