"At a reasonable cost"  was  the theme for the recent  central  RHA  focus groups.

 

 

A report was presented last night at the RHA annual meeting in Winkler.


Vice Chair Connie Gretsinger says cost does not only mean dollar amounts, but the way health care services are received in the community.


Gretsinger says they focused in on the individual taking responsibility for their health.


Another point made was that the people want strong and effective leadership from the RHA,  including a plan with direction.


Gretsinger says implementing this is an on-going process, one way to do so is to communicate changes with the community.


Marian Walsh, President and CEO of Bridgepoint Health was the guest speaker of the night and also strongly emphasised the importance of taking responsibility of your own health.
