"I think the hospital needs to see the validity of this service, and so far, I‘ve had very positive responses from all levels." The hospital‘s viceâ€"president of nursing, Gay McDermott, "was a strong voice for a chaplaincy serâ€" vice at the hospital," supported by the OTMH Board of Governors, and the Oakville Ministerial Association "which had also voiced a need for this service. "Providing a chaplaincy service is a totally new concept for this hosâ€" pital. The trend in health care today is holistic health care. "Chaplaincy services are incorâ€" porated into many hospitals, and C t THE OAKVILLE BEAVER chaplains are Being recognized as a necessity to the health care team. Most hospitals today have a chapâ€" laincy service." Thompson believes OTMH may have been one of a few hospitals without a chaplain. Thompson, who initially trained as an animal nurse and later became a researcher in physiology and hypertension at the University of Toronto, began her chaplaincy trainâ€" ing in 1987. "I came to a personal belief, and felt a persistent and strong calling, and left my position as a research technician." She combined her training with working full and part time, starting with a sixâ€"month stint at the Toronto Hospital "to decide if I wanted to be a chaplain."

ADVERTISING FEATURE by Stephanie Henderson If you haven‘t yet heard about it through the grapevine, read on, man. But first, think back to the good old days, when music was full of soul, food was hot and fresh, and bell bottoms were "groovy." It is those who pine for simpler times that restaurateur Andy Stokes had in mind when he opened The Big Chill recently. A new "place for grown ups to go," the combination restaurant, bar and nightclub is tucked away in the north end of the Canadian Tire plaza at Kerr Street and Speers Road. A complete renovation has transâ€" formed a formerly dark interior into a cozy nook where friends can relax and share a glass of wine, a good meal, and maybe wax nostalgic while enjoying the sounds of the ‘60s. The interior has a cafe flavor, with its Tiffany lamps, linenâ€" covered tables, brass railings, warm peach walls, multiâ€"sided central fireâ€" place, and fernâ€"type plants. Throw in one of the longest bar areas in town, pool tables and highâ€"tech big screen TV, and it becomes a place where "grown ups" can feel equally comfortâ€" able in business clothes catching lunch or dinner during the week, or in casual gear in the evening and on weekends. "We‘re more or less geared for the 30 and over crowd," Stokes explains. "Oakville has many fine establishâ€" ments which cater to families, and there are clubs for the younger kids, but it had nothing for adults who want a night out on their own." Enter The Big Chill.
