移动医疗车开进社区，这是什么概念？相当于小型诊所开在了自家门口，不出社区就有流动门诊，实在太方便了。这对居民来说是实实在在的福利啊~
近日，加拿大新闻报导，因为功能升级而暂停服务的流动医疗车，预计在2017年10月恢复服务活动。全面升级的医疗巴士，不仅增加了医疗服务的范围，需要的药品和工具也更加全面，可以更好地为社区居民提供服务。
全新升级的流动医疗车 - 健康巴士
Anewly improved mobile health unit will soon hit the streets of Toronto to improve services for people who typically face challenges accessing health care.Sherbourne Health Centre's new health bus will resume activity next month and be based inthe Moss Park area. While the health bus program has been running for some 20 years, this is its third bus, and this one can offer better care to more people.
一个新改进的移动健康巴士即将很快就出现在多伦多的街道上，为那些没有健康保障的人们改善医疗服务。Sherbourne健康中心的新流动医疗车将于下个月在莫斯科公园区恢复活动。健康巴士这个项目已经运行了20年了，这是第三辆，这辆全新改进健康巴士将会为更多人提供更好的服务。
可升降的轮椅台
The bus has two clinic spaces with separate entrances, so two clients can be servedat once. And for the first time, it is wheelchair accessible.Anurse practitioner will be on the bus to deliver primary care, such as papsmears, vaccinations, wound care and STI testing, while a mental health counsellor will also be on board to provide on-the-spot crisis care.The bus is also equipped with naloxone kits, which can be used to treat a suspected opioid overdose.
这辆巴士有两个设有独立入口的诊所空间，可以同时服务两个人。而这一次，也是第一次，可以让轮椅进入。巴士上有一名专业的执业护士提供基本的医疗护理，如巴士涂片、疫苗接种、伤口护理和性传播感染疾病检测，还可以写处方，做紧急转移。同时，也会有一名心理健康咨询师会在现场提供咨询、治疗服务。这辆巴士还配备了纳洛酮，可以用于脱瘾治疗。
Sherbourne健康中心的城镇健康规划主任Chantel Marshall
ChantelMarshall, director of urban health programming at Sherbourne Health Centre, said the bus will help divert some patients who don't have access to primary care and so end up in emergency rooms for non-life-threateninghealth ailments."The infrastructure to provide the services is really night and day, compared to ourprevious health bus." Marshall told CBC Toronto on Thursday.
Chantel Marshall是Sherbourne健康中心的城镇健康规划主任，他说，这辆巴士会帮助治疗那些没有条件获取初步治疗的患者，以确保在送入急诊室之前没有生命危险。“对比之前的健康巴士，升级后的健康巴士提供的服务简直是天壤之别。”Marshall在周四的时候对CBC多伦多记者说。
健康巴士开进社区
The bus will make scheduled stops that will be listed on the Sherbourne Health Centre website. Typically, the bus stops at shelters and other community agencies to help people who are homeless or under-housed, newcomers to Canada and others who face barriers to care.A program worker on the bus will help patients access complementary care theymight need, from health care to social services.
这辆巴士会在Sherbourne健康中心的网站上列出计划好的停靠站点。通常情况下，这辆巴士会停在避难所和其他社区机构附近，以方便帮助那些无家可归或就住在里面的人，还有其他一些没有医疗保障的人。巴士上的工作人员会帮患者做一些需要的补充治疗。

Volunteer Mike Holton first became homeless 10years ago,when he was released from hospital, his mother had died and he had nowhere to go.The 56-year-old was living in Allan Gardens, and the bus would stop at places, such as shelters and community centres. He was eventually referred to Sherbourne Health, where a housing worker helped him find a home and set him up with treatment for his hepatitis C. After that, he started volunteering on the bus."You're stigmatized, you're labelled, no one wants to talk to you," he said ofbeing homeless. " And these people would. They had people that worked on thebus that had lived experience, and that helped a lot. It broke a lot ofbarriers."
10年前，志愿者Mike Holton第一次成为无家可归的人，当他出院的时候，他母亲去世了，他无处可去。56岁的他住在艾伦花园，健康巴士会停靠在这个位置，最终，他被推荐到Sherbourne健康中心，在那里，一名职员帮他找到了一处住所，并为他的丙型肝炎提供了治疗。之后，他开始在健康巴士上做义工。他说，成为流浪汉会遭受非难，会被贴上标签，没人愿意跟你说话。而在健康巴士上的工作经验，会帮助他们打破许多社会偏见。
Volunteer Christine Halliday, 71, first accessed the bus's services when she was living at the Fred Victor shelter. It would provide her with everything from vitamins to socks.She said the workers at Sherbourne Health got her out of the shelter and into her own apartment."They're very good people here," she said. "They listen to your problems, and they help. They are very understanding."
71岁的志愿者Christine Halliday住在弗雷德维克多的时候，第一次接受了健康巴士的服务---为她提供从维生素到袜子的一切东西。她说，Sherbourne健康中心的工作人员把她带出了避难所，住进了公寓。她说：“他们是很好的人，愿意倾听你的问题，并提供帮助。他们非常善解人意。”
其实不管在什么国家，去医院看病都是很麻烦的一件事。各种排队和检查都很耗费时间和精力。病情不严重的，去医院浪费时间；病情严重的，去医院耽搁时间。流动的医疗车是非常便民的，对于非紧急患者，能够解决小病小痛，不需要再去医院排队检查做治疗。对于紧急患者，也可以最快时间做紧急处理，避免耽搁时间。健康是身体的本钱。越来越多的人都提升了健康的观念，不再像以前一样不到最后一刻不看医生不去医院。更多的人开始注重日常保养，连喝水都讲究了。
人体的含水量为60%-95%。水分占大脑的75%、心脏的75%、肺的86%、肝脏的86%、肾脏的83%、肌肉的75%、血液的94%、软骨的80%、结缔组织的50%。连脂肪细胞和脂肪分子的10%也是水分。只要身体缺少1%~2%的水分，各个器官就得不到充足的水分和营养，而浸泡在脑脊髓液中的大脑只要失去1%的水分就将导致致命的后果。可以说，水就是生命的源泉。
世界卫生组织WHO将TDS (总溶解固体)在600以下的水归类为“优质水”，而加拿大饮用水的TDS平均值在100以下。赛奇尔天然冰川泉水的TDS含量为43，是TSD极低的超软水，这种水特别适合老人小孩孕妇。而且水质呈弱碱性，研究表明弱碱性水对儿童智力力有较大的帮助，而且用弱碱性水冲泡奶粉有助于婴儿钙吸收。
健康身体从日常保养开始，从最基础的喝水开始。正确喝水、喝对水，有利于降低疾病患发率。今天你好好喝水了吗？
