Potter said that communities east of Thunder Bay must be represented on the District Health Council currently being established in the area. The concept of the District Health Council is designed to bring together public represen-~ tatives, representatives of the agencies in the health field, and the professionals, to identify needs, consider alternative ways of meeting those needs, establish priorities, and plan a comprehensive health care program for the district. The eastern part of the Thunder Bay Distri- ct Health Council's area includes from Thund- er Bay to Marathon and from Lake Superior to Nakina. "It's imperative that all citizens -- not just the professionals involved in health care and the local politicans, and not just those living in the city of Thunder Bay -- be repre- sented, to assure an accurate Cross-section of health ideas, needs and concerns," said Dr. Pctter. "The citizens, as a vital part of the Dis- trict of Thunder Bay, have an important role to play. Here we're dealing with a relative- ly small part of the total population of the area; yet we have a large part of the ground to cover. We must bring forth the needs of people in small, isolated communities." A steering committee to nominate the Thun- der Bay District Health Planning Council is being set up. To ensure that all the commun- .ities will be fairly represented, there should be some people on the committee to re- present the area east of Thunder Bay. continued page 2 ..c.essens
