CQA:
On Thursday, April 22nd, I participated in the Conseil Québécois d'Agrément (CQA)'s virtual annual general meeting where members were informed that the CQA is filing for bankruptcy. The CHSLD Wales was scheduled to submit our Accreditation file on April 23rd via the CQA's online portal, and the inspection and meetings were scheduled for June. We contacted André Bachand, regional MNA, to request his immediate assistance.
NEW RPA DOCTOR:
We will have a new doctor for our RPA residents who are currently on the oprhan list. Dr. Sophie Borbeau accepted our offer and was granted government authority to provide services to our residents who do not have a doctor. Next month, Dr. Borbeau will relocate to Cleveland while continuing her practice in Cowansville. Dr. Borbeau will be a great addition to our clinical team.
