IHA QUOTE OF THE WEEK

COMPLIMENTS OF: Gerri Flecher

Home and Community Care Director

Interior Health - East Kootenays Health Services Area

When Gerri Flecher was asked to comment on the rational

that seniors in Home Care are allotted 1 bath a week.

She replied, “That generation

grew up only bathing once

a week any ways.”

Note: This is a quote from the

IHA ( Interior Health Authority ) presentation

sponsored by the Liberal Constituency Association

at Jaffrey on Thursday Sept 9th, 2004.

(Bill Bennett our Liberal MLA was present)

Note: Quote also confirmed in person at IHA public form at

Fernie Community Center Sept. 14, 2004. 7:15PM

We would ask that one week before our

May 17th, 2005 B.C. election the people across B.C. only take one bath

in respect of our Seniors and support for their care.
