The Save South Muskoka Hospital Committee (SSMHC) is informed that Muskoka&nbsp; Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) is submitting to Ontario Health for a wholly inadequate 36-bed&nbsp; hospital at the South Muskoka site within days.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Muskoka does not support this submission. The MAHC Made in Muskoka healthcare model is\u00a0 resoundingly rejected by the local physicians and the residents. In a recent assessment, SSMHC has\u00a0identified that the Made in Muskoka model jeopardizes the health, safety and well-being of the\u00a0 residents of South Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blame for this debacle lies with MAHC. MAHC refuses to hear the reasoned and experienced&nbsp; voices of our physicians. MAHC ignores the voices of South Muskoka community stakeholders, such&nbsp; as SSMHC. MAHC rejects the guidance of our elected representatives, including Mayor Rick&nbsp; Maloney and the Honourable Graydon Smith, MPP, who has reasonably called for a submission only&nbsp; after the development of a model that is workable across the region.<sup>iii<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By proceeding with this submission, MAHC is yet again in breach of the public\u2019s trust. MAHC is&nbsp; certainly aware that its actions are outrageous, insulting and intolerable to South Muskoka. And&nbsp; with no direct accountability to the public, MAHC has sought to steamroll the hospital&nbsp; redevelopment: no detailed submission timelines with little to no advance notice of its actions, no&nbsp; workable framework for collaboration with stakeholders, and no sharing of material information to&nbsp; support an informed consultation.<sup>iv <\/sup>Of further note, MAHC has grossly deviated from its 2019 submission to the province which previously highlighted the importance of community support as a&nbsp; centre-piece of its proposal.<sup>v <\/sup>MAHC cannot assert community support this time around. And all&nbsp; this despite the efforts of so many in South Muskoka to find a solution focused on equitable healthcare for the entire hospital catchment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is now clear that MAHC has no intention to change its course. There is no good faith dialogue in&nbsp; MAHC\u2019s one-sided discussion. It is time that the Made in Muskoka model is stopped. Our elected&nbsp; officials and this community must now rely upon the Care Close to Home model that is unanimously&nbsp; supported by the local physicians. This model would have 60 acute care beds at the South Muskoka&nbsp; site with sufficient services to attract and retain physicians to serve the entire region. Importantly,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the Care Close to Home model respects the realities of life in Muskoka while addressing the critical healthcare principals that support hospital care in South Muskoka into the future.<sup>vi <\/sup>South Muskoka&nbsp; will not accept anything less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, dear resident, a crucial date is on the horizon: on Monday, October 21, the District of Muskoka&nbsp; is set to revisit the $77M local share contribution of municipal tax dollars to the hospital&nbsp; redevelopment. These are local tax dollars from a general levy that will be collected through to&nbsp; 2037.<sup>vii<\/sup> Should this funding proceed at the District, South Muskoka will be paying for the majority&nbsp; of this tax \u2013 to add insult to injury.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SSMHC demands that the District local share funding not proceed. This District Council must be&nbsp; bold: District Council must insist on a redevelopment plan that will not jeopardize the health, safety&nbsp; and well-being of the residents of South Muskoka. South Muskoka is depending on our District&nbsp; Councillors to safeguard the future of South Muskoka Hospital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To our friends, neighbours and fellow residents, it is crucial that South Muskoka continues to stand&nbsp; up for South Muskoka Hospital along with our physicians between now and October 21. SSMHC is&nbsp; encouraging the following steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Residents of Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays and Gravenhurst must continue to raise their&nbsp; concerns with municipal councillors and the District Chair. Concerningly, SSMHC is of the&nbsp; view that District councillors from these area municipalities may support MAHC\u2019s Made in&nbsp; Muskoka model despite its many faults.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Residents in Bracebridge must demand that the Town withhold the $10M local share&nbsp; contribution. Further, residents must also demand that Town Council stop the transfer of&nbsp; land to MAHC for a hospital site that will not properly serve the community.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 South Muskoka must demand advocacy support from our South Muskoka municipalities.&nbsp; SSMHC is aware of other municipalities in the province that have taken on an advocacy role&nbsp; in support of their respective local hospital.<sup>viii <\/sup>There remains opportunity for this to occur in&nbsp; South Muskoka.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Residents must support and advocate for the Care Close to Home model.<sup>ix<\/sup> SSMHC strongly&nbsp; supports the Care Close to Home model as part of an overall equitable, two acute care&nbsp; hospital solution for Muskoka which would include 60 acute care beds at a future South&nbsp; Muskoka hospital site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, SSMHC is calling on the residents of South Muskoka to share their concerns directly&nbsp; with the Premier of Ontario, the Honourable Doug Ford, by emailing premier@ontario.ca.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. It is clear that the same price is required\u00a0 for access to hospital care close to home in South Muskoka. Speak up now to protect access to hospital care for yourself, your loved ones and your neighbours. Lives depend on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Save South Muskoka Hospital Committee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an open letter from residents of South Muskoka and copied to Doppler Dear Resident and Neighbour:\u00a0 We write with shocking and disappointing news concerning our community\u2019s fight to [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":179971,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2437],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-letters"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;We write with shocking and disappointing news concerning our community\u2019s fight to save South\u00a0 Muskoka Hospital&quot;
