A former Huntsville councillor who unsuccessfully ran for mayor against Scott Aitchison in 2014, Withey owns an insurance brokerage in town and has sat on various health-related boards since 1993. He\u2019s been on the board of Fairvern, Huntsville hospital and later the Algonquin Health Services board and, before the LHINs were created by the province, Withey also sat on the district health council for this area.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>I\u2019ve always felt very strongly about the role of health care in a community. It\u2019s really the life blood of anywhere. If you lost a hospital, how long would it be before you became a ghost town\u2026 what\u2019s more important than your health? I guess you could argue education, etc. but if you don\u2019t have your health, you really don\u2019t have anything. And if you don\u2019t have your health care, you don\u2019t have anything either.<cite>NSM LHIN&#8217;s newest board member, Huntsville resident Tim Withey<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI was on every iteration of the Huntsville [hospital] board, in fact I was in the room when the decision was brought down to amalgamate the [Bracebridge and Huntsville] hospitals, which I voted against. I think it was not the right decision and I believe that to this day.\u201d Withey maintains that the funding predicament Muskoka Algonquin Health Care (MAHC), which administers both hospitals, finds itself in is in part a direct result of amalgamation.<\/p>\n<p>Withey is no stranger to controversy. He fought hard against the removal of obstetric services at Huntsville hospital and has been a staunch supporter of keeping two fully functioning hospitals in Muskoka. He applied to be part of the Muskoka and Area Health System Transformation (MAHST) initiative, which is re-examining how health care is funded and delivered in Muskoka and area, but did not hear back.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be interesting to see what they eventually come up with. I think it\u2019s a huge project. The people I\u2019ve spoken to have said it\u2019s quite daunting. There\u2019s a lot of information, they\u2019ve got tight timelines. It\u2019ll be a challenge to get to where they need to go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With his latest appointment to the NSM LHIN, Withey said he\u2019ll be sitting on the other side of the table but maintains that he\u2019ll continue to champion the necessity of health care in order to keep a community strong and growing. He\u2019s also had to resign from the board of Fairvern, as it is one of the health care providers in the area that NSM LHIN funds, but he said his support for its redevelopment will not wane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m hoping to keep the Fairvern file on the LHIN radar now because the LHIN\u2019s support for nursing home redevelopment is critical. So now I can pull on the rope from the other end,\u201d he said. Withey will hit the ground running and attend his first meeting today in Orillia.<\/p>\n<p>NSM LHIN is one of 14 crown agencies created throughout the province. They report to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and are responsible for planning, integrating and funding local health services in the communities they serve such as hospitals, community care access centres, long-term care homes as well as mental health and addiction programs. According to its website, in 2009 the NSM LHIN served a population of roughly 453,710 people and this catchment area, which includes the District of Muskoka, a portion of Grey County and most of the County of Simcoe. So it looks after areas such as Barrie, Orillia, Midland, Penetanguishene, Collingwood and Wasaga Beach as well as the entire District of Muskoka.<\/p>\n<p>You can access a list of NSM communities <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nsmlhin.on.ca\/aboutus\/ourcommunities.aspx\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The NSM LHIN is responsible for allocating $880 million to 71 individual health service providers, which operate under a service accountability agreement.
