The community service legacy of one of Prescott-Russell’s most beloved mayors lives in the annual award bearing his name. The call for nominations has begun for the J.P. St-Pierre Award. The award is named in honour of Jean- Paul St-Pierre, one-time mayor of Russell Township, whose sudden death during his reelection campaign in 2014 shockedmany. This honour is bestowed upon deserving residents of the United Counties of Prescott- Russell (UCPR). The J.P. St-Pierre Award celebrates the exceptional contributions of its nominees to the community and civic life of the Prescott- Russell region, through their endeavours in the fields of art, culture, business, pro- fessional work, charitable and community works, health, education, public service, media and communications, sports, agri- The Champlain Local Health Integration Network board (LHIN) has approved a proposal for a new long-termplan for making the best use of sub-acute services within the Champlain LHIN region.The LHIN oversees fundingmanagement and other planning for the Champlain health services region, which includes Ottawa, the Five Counties and parts of Renfrew and Leeds-Grenville counties. LHIN administration has determined there are more than 870 sub-acute care hospital beds in the Champlain LHIN region available for patients who have finished with their acute care treatment and may transfer over to rehabilitation or other types of inpatient or outpatient care. These types of services handle stroke survivors, patients with acquired brain injuries, amputees, and older patients who have become debilitated following an illness or injury and are in need of follow-up support care. The new plan was developed through the LHIN’s sub-acute capacity steering committee through consultation with patients, caregivers, and health service providers. It recommends early- identification and prevention strategies to help patients avoid future hospital stays

More efficient use of sub-acute services for out-patients is part of a new plan for hospitals and health service providers in Eastern Ontario. New health service proposal reviewed resulting from relapse or new injuries or illness during their sub-acute care period. Monitoring patient care during hospital stays to prevent any hospital-acquired disabilities prior to release is also recommended.
The plan recommends a $5.6 million investment for the Champlain LHIN’s sub-acute care services program for inpatient care. Most of the money would go towards more intensive rehabilitation services. Another $11.3 million investment is recommended for community-based services.
