Governance of the Rainbow Valley Community Health Centre - Point of Access
In late 2004, the Ministry of Health approved funding for two satellite sites in Beachburg and Cobden, together known as the Whitewater Bromley Community Health Centre Satellites (WBCHCS) and for a Point of Access (defined as less than 21 hours of service) site in Killaloe, to be managed through Lanark Health and Community Services (LHCS).
Executive Director, HR and Financial management is provided from the Lanark site, with programming operations managed locally by a Health Services Manager. Both the Satellite and the Point of Access have active Advisory Boards and a Satellite Committee is the vehicle for transmission of information between the Lanark Health and Community Services Board and the Satellite Advisory Boards.
The Satellite Committee is a Standing Committee of the Lanark Health and Community Services Board and is comprised of members of the Advisory Boards and/or representatives of the catchment areas of Whitewater Bromley and Rainbow Valley. The Committee reports to the LHCS Board through verbal and/or written reports from the CHC Satellite Chairperson. The Chairperson of the CHC Satellite Committee is the Chairperson of the Whitewater Bromley Community Advisory Board and is a member of the LHCS Board.

Our Accreditation Process
Building Healthier Organizations (BHO) is the formal accreditation tool chosen by Community Health Centres (CHCs). BHO began as an initiative of the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC) and the Ontario Ministry of Health in the early 1990's with centres being asked to go through the accreditation process every three years. To administer the tool and implement the review process, Community Organizational Health Inc. (COHI) was incorporated as a separate and independent not-for-profit, non-governmental organization responsible for delivering BHO. BHO is primarily a peer review process leading to accreditation. It is a process for organizations to evaluate their services and systems against acknowledged standards of good practice that support sustainability and learning.
Lanark Health and Community Services including the Satellite Program is a fully accredited organization having completed the BHO process in the fall of 2009. The next review will take place in 2013.
