Donner de son temps pour la Société Canadienne du Cancer est une excellente façon de rendre hommage à la mémoire de quelqu'un qui a succombé au cancer. Sur la photo, Rosane Connelly (membre bénévole de la Société du Cancer) souligne l’effort apporté par Sylvianne Pilote, qui organisé la vente de jonquilles auprès de ses camarades de classe et du personnel de l’École secondaire catholique Trillium, à la mémoire de sa grand-mère. Félicitations Sylvianne!

Les étudiants ont vendu les jonquilles à l’avance à leurs camarades de classe, leurs familles et amis. Leurs efforts ont connu un succès énorme, avec comme résultat d’avoir vendu presque 20% de toutes les jonquilles achetées dans la communauté. Une réussite merveilleuse à souligner!

CE QUE VOUS DEVEZ SAVOIRSUR LA CARTE SANTÉ DE l'ONTARIO

Votre carte Santé de l'Ontario est une pièce d'identité personnelle très importante que vous devriez toujours avoir en votre possession.

Vous devez présenter votre carte Santé chaque fois que vous allez à l'hôpital ou à la clinique médicale pour y obtenir des services (p. ex. services de laboratoire, radiographies, rendez-vous avec le médecin). Les organismes de santé doivent valider chaque carte Santé à chacune des visites, peu importe la date de la dernière visite. Les gens qui n'ont pas leur carte Santé doivent remplir un formulaire chaque fois qu'ils se présentent sans leur carte.

Le ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée et la Loi canadienne sur la santé prévoient qu'on peut facturer des frais d'hôpitaux et de médecins à toute personne qui obtient des soins médicaux, mais qui ne peut présenter une attestation valide indiquant qu'elle est couverte par l'Assurance-santé de l'Ontario. Les Services de santé de Chapleau savent qu'en situation d'urgence, il est possible d'oublier sa carte Santé. Dans un tel cas, la personne dispose de 24 heures pour la présenter. En situation d'urgence, tout le monde est traité, avec ou sans carte Santé.

Si vous n'avez pas de carte Santé valide ou si vous l'avez perdue, veuillez communiquer avec le ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée au 1 888 314-4442.

ATTENTION ALL HOSPITAL ANDMEDICAL CLINIC PATIENTS

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUTONTARIO'S HEALTH INSURANCE CARD

Your Ontario Health Card is a very important piece of your personal information that should be carried with you at all times.

You need to bring your OHIP card each time you come to the Hospital or Medical Clinic to receive services (i.e. laboratory, X-Ray, doctor's appointment). Health agencies are required to validate individual health cards on each visit regardless of when the last visit occurred. People who present without their health cards will be required to complete a Ministry of Health card documentation form at each visit without their card.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Canada Health Act dictate that any individual who receives medical care but cannot show proof of valid Ontario health insurance can be billed personally for both hospital and physician services provided. Chapleau Health Services recognizes that in an emergency, you may not remember to bring your health card. If this is the case, you will have an additional 24 hours to provide. Regardless of whether you have a health card with you, you will receive treatment in an emergency situation.

If you do not have a valid Health Card or have lost it, please contact the Ministry of Health at 1-888-314-4442.

Congratulations to both of you!Mom & Dad
