Need a laugh?<br />
One rainy Sunday afternoon, a young<br />
couple were on their way to their<br />
church to get married. On the way,<br />
their car went out of control and slammed into a<br />
telephone pole – killing them both instantly. The<br />
couple soon found themselves standing in front of<br />
St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, welcoming them to<br />
Heaven. The woman asks Peter if they could get<br />
married in Heaven, since their time on Earth was<br />
cut short. He replies that he’ll get back with them<br />
on that request. A month later, St. Peter finds them<br />
and announces that they can – in fact – get married<br />
in Heaven. To his surprise, the woman asks “Just<br />
wondering, if things don’t work out, will we be<br />
able to get a divorce?” With a stern<br />
look in his eye, Peter blurts out<br />
“Look lady, it took me a month to<br />
find a preacher up here… you really<br />
think I’m gonna find a lawyer?”

Hospital changes make the news<br />
As you’ve no doubt read in the papers, Alberta Health Services will be launching a three-year<br />
community and acute care plan that increases the number of community living spaces and<br />
relocates patients from hospital beds to more appropriate care in the community. Most of these<br />
announced changes will affect Edmonton and Calgary.<br />
The plan will allow for the transfer of hundreds of patients currently waiting in hospital beds<br />
for placement into more appropriate care settings as new community living options come on<br />
stream. The plan will also release about 60 hospital beds this year to relieve emergency<br />
department pressures.<br />
Patients who are currently staying in acute care beds, but do not require hospital care, will<br />
return to their communities. They will be moved to supportive living facilities or long-term care<br />
facilities or their homes with the help of home care. To accommodate these moves, 776 new<br />
community living spaces will be created.<br />
Alberta Health Services also announced an agreement with Covenant Health to open 150<br />
community beds next May at Villas Caritas. Discussions on community living capacity, in<br />
addition to the 150 Villa Caritas beds, are ongoing and other openings will be announced as<br />
agreements are negotiated.<br />
