INGLEWOOD HERALD September 2002

	welcome
	Introducing Inglewood's newest partnership… My name is Amin Janmohamed. I am the new pharmacist for Inglewood Care Centre. As many of you know, we at Pharmax Health will be ready to service all pharmacy needs as of September 1, 2002. On a personal note, I have graduated from UBC. I am married and we have two girls, ages 5 and 3. My wife Nazlin, will be working with me at the pharmacy. We look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone at Inglewood.
	Seniors 4-hour relay
	Sponsorship is needed! In response to many of the challenges the North Shore faces in maintaining and enhancing programs and services to seniors, the Foundation for Excellence in Seniors Care was established. As you may have read in the previous newsletter, this non-profit organization plans to promote, fund and carry out activities and programs as well as supply equipment in order to meet the needs of seniors in care. In order to fulfill this mandate, the Foundation must raise significant dollars through targeted fund raising ventures. To this end, the first fund raising event for the Foundation is the proposed “Seniors 4-Hour Relay” being held on Saturday September 7 from 12 pm to 4 pm at the Mahon Park in North Vancouver. Official pledge forms can be picked up or faxed from Inglewood Care Centre or any other care facility on the North Shore. Pledges are collected in lump sum payments and cheques made payable to the Foundation. Each participant can be part of Inglewood Care Centre or other Care Centre Team or may form their own team such as the Bridge Club. For every pledge of $25.00 collected for you team, your name will go into a door prize draw (i.e. $100.00=4 chances). Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated and tax receipts are available for pledges of $10.00 or more. There are very few rules for participation. Your level of involvement is your own—running, walking, or pushing a wheelchair around the track. It may be one or 10 laps. Other members of your team will take up the challenge where you leave off—drop in when you have a moment. If you cannot be there in person, sponsor someone else who can. Our Inglewood Team will transport residents to and from the site starting at 1:30 pm until 4 Pm. Entertainment and refreshments will be made available. Names and pledges to be into. For further information call Wilma Atchison, Event Coordinator at 604-913-4732.   ADMINISTRATORS NOTE As part of Inglewood’s ongoing efforts to address the funding cuts imposed by the Health Authority while continuing to meet the needs of our residents, new staffing schedules will be implemented at the end of September. These schedules involve having unionized care and support staff move from a 7.5 hour workday to a 7.2 hour workday. This change will allow us to reduce the number of part-time positions with the goal of enhanced continuity of service and concentrate our staffing resources in areas where they are most needed. The restructuring process has also resulted in a few of our staff opting to retire. To these valued members of the Inglewood team we extend a sincere “thank you” for many years of dedicated service to our residents. Additional efforts are underway to build on existing relationships with our community partners, while exploring new partnership opportunities that will further assist us in meeting our fiscal challenges while maintaining our focus on quality of care. In this regard, Inglewood has recently contracted with Pharmax Inc. To provide and on-site pharmacy and all pharmacy services to our resident. Along with this change, resident and families should note that effective September 1, 2002 Pharmax will bill all our residents directly for any medication and treatments not covered by Pharmacare rather than billing these items through the Inglewood Trust accounts.
