Do you know what it means to be a Community Based Clinic?
There are two separate operations at the clinic:
Agassiz Physicians Medical Group
Covers ongoing business running costs of Menzies Medical Centre. Ex. Rent, utilities, staffing costs, etc.
MMC Community Board
Covers purchasing of equipment that improve quality of service offered to the community through the clinic no matter which physician is available.
Agassiz Physicians Medical Corporation is the group of physicians’ business operation. Menzies Medical Centre Community Board is a volunteer board of directors consisting of:
- Community Rep.
- City of Morden Rep.
- RM of Stanley Rep.
- Member at Large
- Physician Rep.
- Menzies Medical Centre Rep.
- Tabor Home Rep.
- Morden & District Chamber of Commerce Rep
Menzies Medical Centre Community Board needs your support!
The mandate of the Menzies Medical Centre Community Board is to purchase equipment & furnishings for Menzies Medical Centre. All funds collected are used towards purchasing these items.
Thank you to our Corporate Donors
The Role of the Agassiz Physicians Medical Corporation
The Agassiz Physicians Medical Corporation pays for all “consumable” items within their business. They pay for all staffing costs, rent, medical supplies, office supplies, Electronic Medical Record monthly subscription costs, software subscription costs, and recruitment of new physicians.
The Role of the Menzies Medical Centre Community Board
The community board is responsible to provide all of the equipment (medical and computer) and furnishings within the entire clinic. Because the community board purchases the equipment and furnishings, the community owns it. The community board receives monthly payments from the City of Morden, the RM of Stanley and the Agassiz Physicians Medical Corporation. The community board is a registered charity and receives donations. All purchases for equipment must be approved by the community board.
There are two main benefits of a community based clinic.
- It is a huge advantage when recruiting physicians as there is virtually no cost for them to “set up” their practice. They can finish medical school and start practicing the next day. When potential physicians are looking for places to practice, this is a huge advantage for our community.
- If a physician decides to leave our community, they take no equipment or furnishings from the clinic. Other than the loss of the physician (which is very unfortunate), there is no loss to the community.
We are a Registered Charity
Menzies Medical Centre Community Board is a Registered Charity. Donations are used to fund items such as:
- Medical equipment
- Facility space
- Furnishings
- Technology
- Other needs as they arise
