staff writer york regions community care access centre has joined a growing list of health care providers pleading with the province to change the boundaries of its new local health integrated networks here the health ministry has created 14 networks to coordinate the delivery of health services but the boundaries drawn by the province divide york region into three separate networks and remove markham stouffville hospital from the regions catchment area bill innes executive director of the community care access centre says splitting the region into three net works would complicate the delivery of health care services we have no idea how many ccacs we would need in this area mr innes said if the boundaries remain the way they are its an absolutely huge geo graphical area we deal with two school boards at the moment but that could increase to 12 under this proposal the current boundaries put much of the region in the central local health integrated network along with parts of simcoe county and the north greek church opens markham has a new greek orthodox church the saints penteleimon anna and paraskevi greek orthodox church of markham york region will officially open with a ceremonial service and dinner tomorrow night church council president john liagakis and reverend father odisseys drossos will lead the con gregation in a march from the old church to the new church

rev drossos said its been in our hearts and minds for a long time it feels wonderful to finally enter our permanent home the new 24000squarefoot church will seat 800 people it has been constructed in the traditional byzantine style serving about 3000 families its the only greek orthodox church in york region joan ransberry end of toronto but part of markham including markham stouffville hospital is in the central east network while part of vaughan is in central west the access centre board will be among those asking the province to keep the region in a single network mr innes said the markham stouffville hospital board has made a similar request and york regional chairperson bill fisch said he expects regional council will do the same were working toward the same goal as the hospital and well contin ue to push the health minister very hard mr fisch said fred tufhell chairperson of the simcoe york district health council has been participating in workshops on implementing the new system he favours the plan but admits many questions still need to be answered weve been saying for 30 years we need to consolidate health care deliv ery so the intent is terrific mr tufnell said but the issue here is the method ology im not sure its been worked out in the most practical way and there are questions about the bound aries and what agencies are going to be within the lhin and he believes there is a possibil ity the boundaries could change to include the whole region in a single network the message im hearing is the government is not adverse to tweak ing the boundaries a
