#COVID19 has forced all parts of the health care system to rethink the way they deliver care and at VHA, the more than 10,000 virtual visits completed by our service providers since April, have proven that crisis really is a powerful catalyst: https://t.co/GMD13177PE

'It's imperative that we act on our #COVID19 learnings and shift to a “home first” strategy that rebuilds trust & addresses health inequities within communities hit hardest.’@Longwoods recently shared these insights from VHA President & CEO Carol Annett: https://t.co/uZcXXvaWGD

Language is important. While oppression is intersectional, being direct and specific in discussion ultimately aids a more fulsome understanding and ultimately, targeted solutions. (Credit for these images from Khalil Greene on IG: @Poseidon_248)

We don’t need Trudeau to take a knee on camera, we need reform within the justice system and we need it now.

Health care workers left without pandemic pay say they're the forgotten front line

I would love to know the process they used for determining which employees qualify. It makes no sense to me. ⁦@celliottability⁩ ⁦@fordnation⁩ #onhealth #onpoli https://t.co/VI5EblnOSz

The leadership team at your hospital has spent every single day for two months working on your organization’s pandemic response.

Evenings. Weekends.

Adapting daily on the fly to keep staff and patients safe.

Not just fat cats or ‘admin’. Dedicated public servants.

Thank you

Update: we’ve made progress

Hello! My cat and I have relocated to my partner’s place to co-isolate and I just wanted to share that #Covid_19 physical distancing has brought two unlikely pals together and it’s as cute as at sounds. That is all. You’re welcome. #oppositesattract #HealthyAtHome

@JoannaLavoie @dmrider @YCCNV @BWParkdale @BeachEastYork @jsource @RSJnow End of an era, indeed! Though I never worked with them, @BeachEastYork had a fabulous relationship with @centennialjourn and I saw firsthand how local reporting gave my classmates more confidence in their student days.

Q: When it comes to messaging, what’s the right tone for now?

A: Messages need to be succinct; things people can use & learn from. Now is the time to work together, even with competitors.
