Mills
seeks
plan
cash

MILLS MEMORIAL Hospital is
looking for planning money to
‘determine how it'll reshape itself
going into the next century.

A $85,000 study completed last
year forecast expenditures of $28
million for major renovations.

“But it wants another $50,000 to
$60,000 for a second study to
ensure that what's been suggested

makes sense, says Mills official
Michael Leisinger.

“There’s nothing wrong with
the building itself. But the opera-
tions of the hospital have
changed,” said Leisingcer.

Driving bose changes has been
a series of budgel freezes leading
to bed closures,

That's resulted in a facility now
having 52 beds, down from the
89 at the beginning of the decade.
‘- What’s necded ate renovations
- and relocation of hospital func-
“tions to: make Mills more effi-
- eient, said Leisinger,

“There are operational savings

~to be made,”’ he added,

In the short term, the hospital is
forecasting a $3,5 million ex-
penditure lo move its operating

‘rooms upstairs from the ground

.. level,

That would be accompanied by
: the construction of a proper day
_ Surgery ward which is now lo-
cated - in the emergency room
area,

.Day surgery is a growing and
_ cost effective portion of the hos-
"'pital’s operations,
- “It’s a matter of sliding the
_ pieces around to have a proper

fit,” said Leisinger.

He said the provincial govern-
“ment has been less than receptive
to the hospital’s request for plan-
. hing money.

Ultimately, major decisions at
; Mills are to be the responsibility
- of: the new community health
“council and of Its equally new
regional health board parent.
