With a passion for reproductive health, emergency department nurse Alysha Briglio has created a survey to determine if Sault Ste. Marie could benefit from a fertility clinic
An emergency department nurse at the Sault Area Hospital has launched a survey to determine if there’s enough demand for a fertility clinic in Sault Ste. Marie.
“I’ve always had a passion for this,” she said. “There’s nothing here with fertility, and my mom suggested the Sault could eventually use something like this. I’d want to make sure it’s successful and needed of course, and I think a survey will help with that.” "The dream of why we opened this clinic in the first place was to give people care close to home," said Dr. Jocko. "It would effect our day-to-day flow if there was a clinic in the Sault since those patients wouldn't necessarily have to come anymore, but we certainly wouldn't fault it if the Sault could support its own clinic."
The doctor Briglio has been in communication with is an obstetrician gynecologist who provides care at both the hospital and Group Health Centre. “I think Sudbury sometimes has to ship patients to Toronto for further testing, and I believe they send the couple’s specimens to Toronto to actually make the baby in the Petri dish which is a great start,” she said. “That’s exactly what I’d want to do in the Sault.”
“The doctor would be needed on-site so they can prescribe the hormone medications to do the embryo transfers and retrieve the follicles,” Briglio explained. “The doctor I’ve been in contact with who specialized in fertility is willing to come and do this with me.”

Part-time and student employees in Sault Ste. Marie to receive pay increaseSome part-time and student employees at the City of Sault Ste.

This raise results from a kind of domino effect from October's increase in the minimum wage to $16.55.
