(Photo courtesy of Lindsay Bishop.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) has been providing plastic surgery since April 2018. The addition of the service was prompted by two physicians with cottages in the area who suggested that the service be added.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie Bubela, CEO for both the Huntsville and Bracebridge hospitals, said she was approached by the two physicians about a year ago, inquiring about the possibility of adding the service here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir reason for wanting to do this is to give back to a community that they\u2019ve enjoyed and felt that this was an opportunity to give back, knowing that we didn\u2019t have plastic surgery capability here,\u201d said Bubela. \u201cI was really impressed that the two of them would consider that because of being cottagers here, falling in love with Muskoka and wanting to help out the local community.\u201d<\/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>Esther Millar, Chief Nursing Executive &amp; Clinical Services for MAHC, said bringing the idea to the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network (NSMLHIN) was not a hard sell. The NSMLHIN is a regional Crown agency that looks after coordinating and funding health services, including hospitals, in its <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/NSM-Map-2006E-1-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">catchment area<\/span>, <\/a>which includes Muskoka and surrounding communities as well as areas such as Barrie, Orillia and Collingwood.<\/p>\n<p>She said MAHC managed to build a business case for the service and demonstrated that the capacity and volumes were there and that it could be done in a sustainable manner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very cost efficient for us to do and it\u2019s very good for our surgical program because with the increased volumes, we become even more efficient so that\u2019s very good for a hospital,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt hits all the right parts of the funding formula\u2014increased volumes and lower costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the two physicians who originally approached the CEO has already started offering the service on a locum basis, twice a month. Once the second physicians begins offering his services, the pair will provide a clinic two days a month each with time reserved in the operating room for them as well, said Millar.<\/p>\n<p>She said MAHC now offers five surgical specialties, which include: urology, ophthalmology, an ear, nose and throat surgeon, gynecology and plastic surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Other services MAHC is hoping to add, although not surgical, involve rehabilitation beds and stroke in-patient beds. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the capital plan,\u201d said Bubela. \u201cWe\u2019ve actually set aside beds to reflect that, should we be given the nod by the Ministry and the LHIN, to be able to do that,\u201d she added. \u201cSo what we\u2019re trying to do here is really match services with the community need and so we absolutely recognized, as Esther said, that we needed plastics to support our Emergency Department and reduce the wait-times and travel for our residents. So we know the same thing is true with rehabilitation and stroke in-patient beds, so we\u2019re going to lobby for those as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Millar clarified that the addition of plastic surgery is not cosmetics per se, but rather procedures that are covered by OHIP. She said the added specialization supports the Emergency Department for patients coming in with, as an example, facial or hand trauma or burns as well as supporting those with skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, according to Millar, people from this area had to travel as far away as London, Ontario to get the service. Some procedures had a waiting list of up to 316 days compared to the provincial average of 158 days, she explained. In 2016, there were 192 patients in MAHC\u2019s catchment area who had to travel outside of the NSMLHIN to get the service. In the local LHIN\u2019s catchment area, there were over 600 people who had to travel elsewhere to get the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very difficult for the emerg physicians because they would assess the injury and they knew the patients needed to be seen, so they had to phone all over the province trying to find the shortest wait for our patients,\u201d said Millar.<\/p>\n<p>She also said the need for the service has been increasing, not only due to the recreational nature of Muskoka and the associated type of injuries, but also because skin cancer is on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>Millar said the service is being offered at MAHC\u2019s Huntsville hospital site and also supports the Bracebridge hospital. She said since its inception in April, \u201cOur local plastic surgeon has seen 60 patients and he\u2019s performed about half a dozen procedures and we\u2019re very fortunate he\u2019s been here to support our emergency department. So we\u2019ve had some of our hand traumas that have been able to get very quick service, so we\u2019re very pleased with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MAHC said it plans to expand the program and eventually recruit a permanent, full-time plastic surgeon for the organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
