After approval with @UBCMeds today, really excited to share the @UBCMedicinePAC 2024/25 Policy Paper!

Was disappointed to hear this rhetoric displayed by BC Conservative Leadership in today's debate as a reflection of a lack of evidence-based and nuanced conversation around mental health, substance use, and health status generally in our province.

[Sebastian Lopez Steven @SebLopezSteven]

Health care "solutions" that do not accept this foundation as fact are not solutions at all. @BCLegislature needs leadership that can advocate for and implement improvements to healthcare that support all of a patients health - their co-occuring experiences - in one package

[Sebastian Lopez Steven @SebLopezSteven]

Super disappointed in the @AMS_UBC for allowing this to exist on campus. Mexican refugees who attend UBC and were displaced by cartel violence now have to face this as a jokey name for a taco restaurant everyday on campus - can’t call it a safe space for Latin people. Do better

[Sebastian Lopez Steven @SebLopezSteven]

Hugely appreciative of @CBCNews for covering @UBCMedicinePAC ‘s work this year! This report is meant to be knowledge returned to the people and hopefully we’ve taken a step towards that!

📽️Tune in to @CBCVancouver at 11pm tonight as #UBCMed students @PreetsTweets101 and @SebLopezSteven speak about the critical conditions facing emergency departments in BC, and some of our recommendations! Check out our full policy paper, to learn more! #BCUnsafeERs #EnoughWaiting

[Sebastian Lopez Steven @SebLopezSteven]

And you’re wondering what we spoke about? Read our policy paper executive summary submitted and approved by the @UBCMeds here! We acknowledge the great steps taken by the BC NDP but bring to the table some additional suggestions for further equity in the ER!

[Sebastian Lopez Steven @SebLopezSteven]

Incredible experience today as leading our year long @UBCMedicinePAC advocacy campaign wrapped up in Victoria! Thank you to all the MLAs for getting together with us to chat about BC emergency departments! We’re hugely appreciative of the government’s leadership in this space

It was such a pleasure to meet with these medical students. Their passion for improving surgical wait times is inspiring and I'm always working on improving and investing in BC's medical system.
