TakeCare

TakeCare is a non-profit initiative that creates and distributes Parent Comfort Kits to parents of hospitalized children in Canada 💜

“When a child ends up in hospital, we assume everything will be done to care for them, including minimizing pain. Unfortunately, that assumption is wrong.” @PicardOnHealth: https://t.co/qisUe9zTBI

Behind every “difficult family / patient” are:
- Social determinants of health
- Life experiences
- Culutural / religious beliefs
- Organic causes leading to “non-compliance”

Let’s open our minds/hearts, ditch this judgement, work WITH our patients!

Let’s do better.

$500 and a whole lot of laughter! 😂
Thank you to everyone @IMSSAuoft for coming out last night and making the Talent Auction such an incredible success. Your generosity means so much to us and will no doubt impact the 50 families receiving the kits you have made possible!

We’re still in the midst of #cold season and it’s important to remember that #antibiotics are not the answer. The best treatment is usually plenty of fluids and rest.

The best way to prevent infection is through #handwashing! Check out helpful tips on proper handwashing technique from @AboutKidsHealth: https://t.co/iAkGzILCS7

Hey IMS! Science is cool and all, but have you ever felt tired of being known by "graduate student" 👨🏻‍🎓or "scientist" 👩🏻‍🔬? Don't you ever wish to break free of these labels and show people a side of you they don't normally get to see 👀?
