A meeting with elected municipal officials and Jonquière provincial MP Yannick Gagnon is scheduled for January 11 to find solutions to “save” the organization.
Insufficient Compensation
The issue of doctors’ remuneration will be discussed at this meeting, attended by the MNA Yannick Gagnon, the President of the municipality of Jonquière, Carl Dufour, the municipal councilor Michel Thiffault and the members of the Board of Directors of Jonquière-Medicine.
Our Achilles’ heel is actually the doctor’s fee. She is too low […] In order to function, we need doctors and we also need money. And currently we are not offering any services so we cannot participate in a fundraiser to recover the money we have lost since the pandemic.
said Jo-Ann Duperré, CEO of Jonquière-Médic.
During this meeting, the Board of Directors also intends to ask Jonquière-Médic to review its model in order to expand its customer base.
Since November 22, 2022, The organization only serves people with severe loss of autonomy and low mobility. Remember that the organization began rebooting that day after a two-year hiatus to cater to a weaker clientele.
We could have helped during the flu in December. We were told to change the clientele and we did. If we maybe add the kids to relieve the emergency […] It would also allow us to participate in a fundraiser.
On the artificial ventilator
Jo-Ann Duperré accuses this in passing clip reformwhat she says has lay the axe
in doctors’ salaries, a measure that hurts Jonquière-Médic.
This has been the case since 2016. It always seems like every time there is a change in health minister, you have to start from scratch. We’ve been on the ventilator for a long time, but now we’re done
she complains.
” If we don’t have doctors or funding, we won’t even give ourselves a year to be closed. It is official […] We are on life support. »
After the January 11 meeting, Caquière deputy for Jonquière, Yannick Gagnon, will present the dossier to the National Assembly once parliamentary work resumes, according to Jonquière-Médic director-general. She expects replies in the week of January 23rd.
It is currently not possible to consider a date for Jonquière-Médic to resume service.
