Steinbach church targeted
RCMP are looking for a suspect who
spray- painted anti- Christ symbols on a
church in Steinbach.
The Gospel Fellowship Church,
located in the 800 block of Main Street
in Steinbach, was targeted in the early
hours Tuesday. Several symbols were
spray- painted on the outside walls of
the building.
No other buildings in the surrounding
area were targeted.
Police are asking for help in identifying
the suspect and to call Crime
Stoppers or the Steinbach RCMP if
they have more details.
Woman killed in crash
A Winnipeg woman is dead after a
major car crash on McGillivray Boulevard
Wednesday afternoon.
According to RCMP, the crash occurred
just before 2 p. m., when the
victim was driving her 1994 Toyota
Corolla westbound on McGillivray
Boulevard, between Brady Road and
McCreary Road.
There, investigators believe, she was
attempting to make a U- turn when her
vehicle was struck by a westbound
Nissan.
The victim was declared dead at
the scene. Her name has not yet been
released pending notification of next
of kin.
An adult woman and a female youth
in the Nissan were taken to hospital
with undetermined injuries, RCMP
said.
Police are continuing to investigate.
T HE province is training more
family doctors as part of a series
of measures designed to
ease pressure on clogged hospital
emergency rooms over the next five
years.
Premier Greg Selinger led a delegation
of MLAs and senior healthcare
officials Wednesday in the
announcement to jump- start the
health- care system.
The goal is to ensure patients not
only have doctors to see, but they'll
been seen by a doctor or a nurse
practitioner within 48 hours of calling
for an appointment, Selinger said
at QuickCare Clinic, a North End
medical clinic.
" We're here to talk about the
progress we've made to make a
family doctor available to every
family," the premier said.
The promise was a major plank in
the NDP's platform in last fall's election
campaign, Selinger said.
Adding more training positions for
doctors is a key to making good on
the promise, he said.
" That will make a big difference
and that will allow more people to be
seen faster," the premier said.
The province plans to train more
doctors by funding 14 additional
family medicine residencies and is
adding three training
positions for nurse practitioners
this fall. These
professionals can prescribe
some prescriptions
and provide basic
services.
The province is also
signing up more doctors
with private practices
to take part in networks
with other health- care
professionals, making
referrals at lot easier on
patients by centralizing
how their care is co- ordinated.
As of 2010, there were 180,000
people in Manitoba without family
doctors, and even people with a
family physician had to wait weeks
for an appointment.
One Winnipeg woman who was in
that position said the new system
works better for her and her family.
Leslie Orlikow, 63, said she was initially
hesitant when her family doctor
closed his private practice three
years ago and joined a network with
a nurse practitioners and
other health- care professionals.
But it has worked out
fine, she said.
" You know what? It's
like a godsend," she said.
" I go to the Access Centre
on Corydon and Harrow.
You can call on a Monday
or a Tuesday and you're
seen within a day or two.
You might not see your
doctor, but you do see a
nurse practitioner. It's
worked beautifully."
Some 21 new or expanded primary
care clinics are also under construction
or on the drawing board to be
open over the next three years.
Then there are incentives negotiated
last year with the Manitoba Medical
Association that have attracted
380 doctors willing to offer chroniccare
services to some 34,000 Manitoba
patients.
The initiatives announced Wednesday
will cost the system $ 5.7 million
this year, according to provincial
figures.
There are now more than 100
residencies for doctors in Manitoba
every year. Family practice is a twoyear
program, after medical school,
meaning the first of the new doctors
will hang out shingles in 2014.
The dean of family medicine at
the University of Manitoba medical
school applauded training for family
doctors.
" This is something that is very
much needed," Dr. Jamie Boyd said.
" It will make a significant difference
in how we can provide all the things
the premier has mentioned."
The province currently spends $ 5
billion a year on health care in Manitoba.
