If you're thinking about how to discuss taking action on the Sustainable Development Goals with your students, my recent webinar on this topic might be of interest. https://t.co/CCTYQnWk2A

Excited to be meeting with book clubs this fall to discuss my memoir "Not One, Not Even One: A Memoir of Life-altering Experiences in Sierra Leone, West Africa). https://t.co/nkLtqFUPxR

@ColleenFlood2 Is there data on walk-in clinics that have closed (or opened) as a result of COVID?

[Nancy Edwards @NancyCEdwards]

How is it that through many years of formal education I was taught so little about #residentialschools, the #DoctrineOfDiscovery, and the #SlaveryAbolitionAct? These are critical socio-structural determinants of health. Canadian children deserve to learn about this history.

Pleased to announce a new article: Interested in a global health career? Don't let COVID-19 stop you. Eager to hear from others who are trying to navigate global health careers in the midst of COVID-19. https://t.co/7CvqRS9K4y

@CPHO_Canada @GovCanHealth Changes to some building code regulations could reduce the risk of falls. Evidence indicates that universally-installed grab bars in bathrooms and safer steps and stairs would make a difference. Public health has an important role to play in advocating for policy improvements.

Consider asking nurses about the kind of work they do during Canada's National Nurses' week. Learn about their diverse roles, depth of knowledge, and advocacy for health systems' improvements. I'm proud to be a community health nurse. #CNA2022 #IND2022 #VoiceToLead #Nurses2022
