Given the shocking announcement of forced closures of supervised consumption sites & needle and syringe distribution programs in Ontario yesterday, here is a thread of what was announced by Minister Jones, with most details pulled from her remarks at AMO https://t.co/SZR3AD4vrJ
Our final plenary features @CormacRussell w/ incredible insights for building integrated primary health care with communities at the centre: “We must start with what’s strong, not what’s wrong. We must make visible invisible ways communities keep themselves well.” #Alliance2024
@FarrahRamzan @skillsforcare Thank you so much for taking the time to share such amazing innovation! I was so thrilled to meet the team and talk about your work.
We’re excited to be here, talking with Alliance members across the province about the ways #SocialPrescribing is changing people’s lives, improving health outcomes, and helping community health organizations work together better.
Primary care for all is not a dream
It's the reality in 🇳🇱🇳🇴🇫🇮🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇿🇩🇰🇮🇹
In our latest paper @CMAJ, we draw lessons for Canada from these 9 OECD countries
They set a goal of 100% attachment to #primarycare & spend more of their health budget on it🧵

Great article describing the important role of CHCs
1. CHCs can & should be playing a pivotal role in delivering health solutions
2. CHCs improve people’s health & save the health system $
3. CHCs provide a vital role in serving folks who are marginalized & without access
At a time when the number of people experiencing homelessness is rising and the health care system is overwhelmed, community health centres say they can do more to provide primary care and other help to vulnerable, at-risk individuals, but need $ to do so. My piece today.
A key recommendation from #OurCare public members in BC was the expansion of Community Health Centres—team-based, community-governed clinics that provide holistic care.

@SparkyMarky007 Some of the data is stratified by age, income and deprivation index (it is reported for each OHT. There are certainly differences. Check out the excel files - most have been updated with 2022 data https://t.co/KyTGvrLjvb
Primary Health Care Map produced to assist w/ understanding & development of attachment strategies at the OHT and community level. OHTs and team-based care orgs will find this an important decisional support tool for prioritizing attachment strategies going forward
Great article highlighting Centretown CHC & CHCs generally. A team-based approach is always the best and we need to support greater access to teams to ensure a person can access the care they need - especially those who experience social complexities. https://t.co/DjHJvDYzHQ
