Annual General Meeting 2019

President’s Message 

Dear, Members of the Cooperative, 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, I wish to personally thank all Health COOP stakeholders (members, staff, doctors and private and public donors). 

After 13 years of operation, the cooperative has service points in St-Adolphe-d'Howard and Morin-heights and as of June 30 2019, we have 1873 members. 

The arrival of new physicians and the integration of two PHCNP (Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner) and other health providers allow us to offer accessible proximity health services. 

The Board of Directors has decided to hold the annual contribution at $ 75 including taxes. We therefore respectfully ask all members for their cooperation. 

I extend an invitation to all members to attend our annual general meeting which will be held on Friday, October 4th at Chalet Bellevue in Morin-Heights. Please find attached, the convening notice. 

I also invite you to the Coop Santé's Benefit fund raising dinner and Silent Auction, November, 21th at Au Charbon in St-Sauveur. For more information, please visit our website www.coopsante.org. 

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of our best regards.

A Donation of $8000

The Medical Foundation donates $ 8,000 to Coop Santé Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard

An important donation for the Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard Health Coop which received an envelope of $ 8,000 from the Fondation des Laurentides and Pays-d'en-Haut.

"By counting the purchase of the defibrillator last year, donations to the Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard Health Coop are $ 10,000," says Daniel Desjardins, Executive Director of the Foundation. The Medical Foundation has set itself the objective, let us remind, to give better access to services of proximity to the communities that it serves in the territory.

This $ 8,000 donation will be used to finance the purchase of equipment for two physician offices located at Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard and Morin-Heights. "This donation is very important to us because it allows us to invest elsewhere and remain competitive," explains Anne-Marie Gagnon, Executive Director of the Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard Health Coop.

This allows you to find a solution and regain your normal function in your daily activities at home, at work or in your activities and sports. This applies to all musculoskeletal injuries, for any level of fitness and age.

Notice and family doctor availability

Being a member of a health co-operative is a great way to financially contribute to maintaining local community health services.

Our mission is to provide the perfect administrative infrastructures environment like: offices, equipements and professionnal administrative support. With these infrastructures in place, the COOP can concentrate its efforts to attract and assemble a group of diversified health care professionals including family doctors to insure close proximity services. However, please note that being a COOP member is not a guarante that you will have access to a family doctor.

Once a new doctor joins the COOP, he will take on new patients as their family practitioner, and in addition he will provide his services during open clinic hours for the community. The present context of the health care system is as follow :

• About 5% of all yearly graduated doctors will decide to invest in their own clinic
• 5 or 6 full time practitioners are needed to operate a clinic
• The new graduated doctors do not have full time practices, but share their services between hospitals and other medical services

At this time the COOP has 1 639 active members, and offers 5 doctors practicing in St-Adolphe-d'Howard and one practicing in Morin-Heights, 5 qualified nurses, and a blood work clinic. The COOP is working for you in building a team of health care providers to meet the needs of a growing community.

If you would like to have a family doctor at the COOP, we invite you to sign up either at :

• If you don't have a family doctor go to Quebec registry for access to a family doctor http://www.gamf.gouv.qc.ca/index_en.html

OR

• The COOP's waiting list either by phone St-Adolphe 819-327- 3534 / Morin-Heights 450-644-0522 or e-mail at info@coopsante.org

A Defibrillator for the Health Coop

Pictured from left to right, Richard Daoust, President of the Health Coop St. Adolphe, Anne-Marie Gagnon, Director, Dr. Annie Filion, doctor and Pierre Durocher, secretary-treasurer of the Fondation médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d'en-Haut.

New equipment for the Health Coop St. Adolphe who now enjoys a defibrillator with a grant from the Fondation médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d'en-Haut.

On June 14, Pierre Durocher and Daniel Desjardins of the Fondation médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d'en-Haut handed, indeed, a Coop health defibrillator. This new equipment will help save lives. The donation is appreciated by physicians and clinic staff.

Early defibrillation, combined with CPR, greatly increases the chances of survival of a person in cardiac arrest who has ventricular fibrillation, the leading cause of sudden death in adults. This unit can be used by doctors and rescue workers, but also by the general public. Training workshops will be offered soon in order to raise awareness. The Municipality of Saint-Adolphe d'Howard thus now has three defibrillators available to the public.

Traffic up

Health Coop  St. Adolphe saw its level of activities grow significantly in recent years. Clinical time slots without appointments are increasingly stretched. In fact, citizens develop the reflex to contact the Coop when they have an emergency or unrest or come directly to the clinic.

It is important to remember that the services in family medical clinics are mainly clinical appointment. A family medical clinic, it must be said, is not a hospital emergency. A patient in distress should call 9-1-1 or go to the hospital.

Consultation without appointment are available Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 12 pm and the first Friday of the month from 17h to 19h. Also, time slots are offered occasionally in the evening from 17h to 19h, when a doctor is available. However, it is suggested to consult the website of the Health Coop www.coopsante.org.

"The Health Coop is involved in the accessibility of nearby health care for citizens of the region by providing a place and developing services. That is why the team of the  Fondation médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d'en-Haut is pleased to support it, "commented the secretary-treasurer of the Foundation Pierre Durocher.
