The UN adopted the following resolution in 2021: “An eye test for a child can be the difference between inclusion and or exclusion; a pair of glasses, the difference between seeking a livelihood or not.” adapted from S Block’s presentation at AAO2021 annual meeting in Boston

@chook411 Thank you!! Very proud to be part of the response. It has been an amazing learning opportunity!

My cousin's daughter @BohnsackAlanna just got her Master's in Public Health and is already working in Canada's Covid response. How cool is that? You rock, girl! 👏💐

Love to see these #COVID19 #vaccination numbers in #NB! Let’s keep it up 👏🏻

Great read by the president of the #NB Nurses Union @NBNU_SIINB👇🏻

🚨We've been sounding the alarm about this crisis for years: 30% hospital beds are occupied by a patient requiring long-term care.

Because of recruitment & retention challenges, there's insufficient personnel to care for them.

Thank you for this commentary, @BohnsackAlanna.

[Rachel Cowitz @CowitzRachel]

In #MED6288, we were asked to write an op-ed on a policy issue of interest. Community water fluoridation has been a contentious topic in #Calgary for many years - hopefully this year fluoride gets voted in.

Another great read by @JakeMShea on the access to sexual health services and STI testing!!

Check out my commentary on the need for expansion of home care services!!👇🏻

[Dr Maisam Najafizada @Mayysam]

Our MPH student @BohnsackAlanna published this commentary on the role of home care in the broader health care system. @MUNMed @MemorialU #MED6288 #Homecare

In the final week of our #MED6288 course we ended with this quote: “policy decision-making is the science and art of the possible in pursuit of the optimal.” In #policy, look for what is possible, innovative and feasible💡

[Alanna Bohnsack @BohnsackAlanna]

In the US, manufacturers are required to disclose added sugar content on #nutrition labels, but not in #Canada! #Policy regulations should better control the nutritional content and disclosure of foods 🍔🍟 #MED6288

[Alanna Bohnsack @BohnsackAlanna]

#Nutrition literacy is rather low. #Policy changes towards easy-to-understand labelling is a great step in educating Canadians on how to make a #healthychoice 🍎 #MED6288

[Food Secure Canada @FoodSecureCAN]

Nutrition package labelling would help us make healthy choices. Now more than ever we need the federal govt to introduce regulations for simple nutrition info on the front of packaged food to support health & wellbeing. @PattyHajdu @JustinTrudeau #cdnpoli https://t.co/3fhF9IbVTd

[Alanna Bohnsack @BohnsackAlanna]

Well this is good news! Although the fact that the #Fredericton council had already voted no is concerning. This project will have #affordable housing units, peer-supported units and an emergency #homeless shelter🏠 #MED6288

[CBC New Brunswick @CBCNB]

Fredericton council decides to fund housing project 4 days after it said no: https://t.co/q3uXkdLMQv

[Alanna Bohnsack @BohnsackAlanna]

👏🏻👏🏻 this #harmreduction vending-style machine was just implemented in Sackville, #NB. It includes sterile needles, fentanyl testing strips, and other items like condoms and hand sanitizer. A great new initiative! #MED6288

[CBC New Brunswick @CBCNB]

Harm reduction dispensing machine now operating in Sackville: https://t.co/QwqKGO1a37

[Alanna Bohnsack @BohnsackAlanna]

Another great example of the need for scope expansion for various practitioners. #NB, #NL and #PEI are still lacking legislation for optometrists to practice at their full capabilities👁 #MED6288

[Alanna Bohnsack @BohnsackAlanna]

I can only imagine how hard #PublicHealth researchers and epidemiologists are working to find out answers about this “mystery disease” #MED6288
