Welcome to the Community Concerns for the Medically Fragile web site. We hope you will find your visit here helpful. Perhaps you might even find it thought provoking. We know that if you're visiting this web site you are likely doing so for a reason. Maybe a child or a friend's child or someone else you know is medically fragile and you just want to know a little more. Whatever your reason for visiting, we thank you for doing so.
Through the years, Community Concerns for the Medically Fragile (CCMF) has advocated the needs of medically fragile children, youth and adults in our society. These individuals, often the most vulnerable of our citizens, have not been forgotten because of the passion and belief of those who speak for them.
It was that passion and belief that eventually brought about the construction of the home for the medically fragile located behind Pathways at 1212 Michigan Avenue in Sarnia Ontario. This was a joint venture of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Ontario March of Dimes, The Rotary Club of Sarnia and CCMF. It has shown what can be accomplished when different caring groups come together for a common good.
It is that same passion and belief that keeps us working for the medically fragile as advocates for the individuals and their families. Too often, families with a new medically fragile member may feel overwhelmed and alone in a situation which may seem as if there is no where to turn. We are here to let you know that many members our Board past and present are parents who have felt that way too.
We can help. By calling our office we can help put you in touch with the people you need talk to. We are parents, grandparents, aunts, brothers, sisters and friends who know about the countless doctor visits, hospital visits and the seemingly endless nights that are as part of being involved with someone who is medically fragile. Feel free to contact us at any time.
Thank you for visiting.
David Ashdown,
President
