December 1, 2012 Dear_________________________, Due to staffing issues we are unable to see all the patients who have been referred to physiotherapy. Any referrals that we have had over six months have been returned to the referral source and are no longer held on a waitlist in the department. As an alternative you may be interested in registering for the "My choices - My health" Chronic disease management workshop organized by the New Brunswick government. These six workshops are designed to help individuals develop the knowledge and skills necessary to positively manage the daily challenges associated with chronic disease. Patients can register by calling 1---888---747---5511; another alternative is to seek assistance from one of the private physiotherapy clinics in our area. Sincerely, Doreen Leg?re Director of Therapeutic Services Miramichi Regional Hospital / h?pital r?gionale de Miramichi 500 Water Street, Miramichi, NB E1V 3G5 Canada o Tel/T?l. : (506) 623-3110 o Fax/T?l?c. : (506) 623-6198
