Grand Falls-Windsor Town Council says NL's new Family Care Team in the town needs urgent attention
(*Please note: slightly distorted audio*) The town council in Grand Falls-Windsor says the Family Care Team set up in the community last year is just not working. The provincial government is promoting the idea of team-based care, bringing physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and others together under one roof. But the town council and a healthcare advocacy group say the government needs to do more. Cyril Farrell is the chair of the Grand Falls-Windsor Healthcare Coalition. Mayor Barry Manuel agreed to be on the show, but was unavailable. Dr. Des Whelan is the senior medical director for the Central zone of NL Health Services, an Emergency Room physician, and one of the people helping to establish the Family Care Team in Grand Falls - Windsor.
