Gabriola Sounder

The Data and Services Committee of the Gabriola Health Care Society has released the preliminary results of the Wellness Survey.
In terms of how the study is related to the proposed clinic, Dave (Innell, Chair of the Data and Services Committee) said:
“The study had nothing to do with the proposed clinic, it was just the same community group doing it.”
“I think it was interesting that 76 per cent of the people who have a regular doctor are on the island.”
“They are using a lot of the alternative services, medical lab, the dentist on the island.”
“This will help make the case with VIHA that people are using the services on the island and that the major issue people have is not cost, it is putting that appointment in with the ferry schedule.”
“It helps make the case that these services are on the island and there is a value to having that clinic.
“That’s the relationship with the survey and the clinic; it helps support the case of having the clinic here.”
