Shout out to @ShaedonSharpe - an inspiration to all #LdnOnt and Canadian hoopers! It’s incredible to watch someone from London shine in the NBA and give back to the community. If you haven’t seen Shaedon play, watch the next @trailblazers game!!
The City of London is excited to announce the launch of the Shaedon Sharpe Drop-In Basketball Program, offering youth in London the opportunity to participate in free, weekly basketball sessions.

#MLHU’s outreach team is heading out this morning with naloxone and care bags on International Overdose Awareness Day to help people in our community struggling with drug addiction. These care bags include granola bars and clean socks. #IOAD2023#EndOverdose
To all the families, friends, healthcare workers and first responders whose lives have been altered by overdose, we see you. MLHU is sending you strength today and every day. Thank you for your continued care and compassion for those living with addiction. Please know that you are not alone. ❤️ #WeSeeYou
Devastating fires, catastrophic floods, extreme heatwaves, and prolonged droughts. Climate change is not a distant threat—it's happening now, impacting lives and ecosystems. Let's come together, reduce emissions, promote resilience, and forge a sustainable path forward. Our planet and future generations depend on it. #ClimateChange

For so many people, dental services are not possible because of cost and it’s heartbreaking. This clinic will help expand much needed services available through Ontario’s senior and family programs. #PublicHealth
Today #MLHU opened its new dental services office in Strathroy, significantly increasing the capacity to deliver routine dental services to low-income seniors and children under the age of 17 who come from low-income families. @StrathCaradoc@CountyMiddlesex#Middlesex-#LdnOnt /1
A bet is a bet… here we are @Ptbohealth and @twpiggott! 😜 Congratulations again to @PetesOHLhockey on the OHL Championship win and a great #MemorialCup run.
FYI - For anybody wondering, Dr. Piggott, the Medical Officer of Health at Peterborough Public Health, made a friendly wager with #MLHU’s Dr. Summers that the winner of the OHL Championship would wear the other team’s jersey at the @PHAgencies meeting in June. Well… today was that day.
P.S. These two may be the coolest Medical Officers of Health in Ontario. Just sayin!
Thank you @AliChahbar for your reflections on Twitter. Your comments have helped me unravel and better understand my emotions over the past two years. 💜💚

In the words of @DrTedros, vaccination “protects the adult in every child and the future of every adult.” Great words to express the importance of vaccination. #NIAW2023@ImmunizedotCa@WHO
It's time for The Big Catch-up this #WorldImmunizationWeek. We must ensure that more children, adults – and their communities – are protected from vaccine-preventable diseases, allowing them to live happier, healthier lives. Together, we can achieve this. #VaccinesWork
It’s National Immunization Awareness Week - let’s celebrate the importance of vaccination. For more than 100 years, immunization has protected people from polio, measles & meningococcal disease. It’s literally changed the course of history. #VaccinesWork#NIAW2023@ImmunizedotCa
Today marks the start of Canadian Public Health Week @CPHA_ACSP – let’s celebrate the many ways public health professionals and agencies promote and protect the health of Canadians coast-to-coast! #PublicHealthMatters#CanPHW /1
5 years after Ontario’s first overdose prevention site opened at 186 King St. in London, @hivaidsconnect and its partners @HealthCentre and #MLHU are opening a permanent Consumption and Treatment Service called Carepoint at 446 York St. next week. #LdnOnt#Middlesex /1
