This week we were joined on site by a few of our community partners who came to view the progress of our project. Here, Jill Calder, MD, FRCPC Clinical Director of Rehabilitation Services (left) and Darlene Arsenault, Interior Health's Director of Rehabilitation, both from the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap Heath Services area, walk down the stairs to meet Patti Flaherty, Executive Director with Classic Rehab. Both of these women have been actively involved in the granting of the IHA contracts and creating vision for the outcomes of our transitional services. We thank them both for coming to see our site, offering suggestions and tips and for taking the news of the progress back to their own regions.
Transitional rehabilitation and recovery will be offered to up to 16 people from all of Interior Health's service areas through a secured contract. Those people served under this IHA contract will be returning to their home community after recovering and rebuilding in Lake Country. It is important for our partners to gain an understanding of what our building structure and home set up is like as well as to learn of our program content, so appropriate referrals and successful outcomes can be achieved.
