On World AIDS Day, we acknowledge that SK has highest incidence of HIV in Canada, and almost 5 times the national average. Thanks to all the SK organizations working to improve this unfortunate truth, especially @SanctumYXE. Donate today.

Today I recognize my privilege and that Saskatchewan has a history of discrimination against First Nations people. I commit to being part of uncovering the truth by listening to people’s stories and integrating this into their clinical care. #compassion #IndigenousPeoplesDay

So many leaders in the community who are working productively to make positive change. Thank you! We will use what you have taught us to create better solutions for homelessness and health delivery in SK.

Need food. Forgot to eat lunch.

And Marv is the man, he’s been pushing Ben around all day.

Met Michael today (picture shared with permission)—he happily accepted some extra clothes and told us about his hopes and dreams. He can reach them with a little help. #sanctumsurvivor

Applying for income assistance and looking for places to rent. Lots of barriers. Lots needs to line up for any type of success. And I’m tired. At least I have a meal in my belly this morning - thank goodness for the friendship inn 🥲

⁦When you’re homeless you can only focus on basic needs—bathrooms, food, shelter….how can one hope to break the cycle without some help. #sanctumsurvivor

@SanctumYXE just finished chatting with Morgan who is a HART nurse at SPH. HART supports patients living with HIV in our community and in hospital. They improve access to services and are saving lives! @mfriesen2004
