How have you met you weekly minimum this week?

[Mount Royal U @MountRoyalU]

#MRU in the media | Realistic ways to crush your fitness goals. Health and Physical Education faculty Elaine Ori @choicesAddUp interviewed via @globalCalgary https://t.co/wJAGRwt61e

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@ivanculum Your mom sounds like one incredible woman, Ivan. Thank you for sharing your story and with such few words, capturing her bravery, strength, and nurture.

Excited to be presenting our Calgary Flames Health Training Camp research virtually this October at ISPAH. After a year of pandemic delays, it will be great to hear from and share with other scholars again!

[ISPAH 2021 @ISPAH2020]

All decision notices have been sent out regarding presentations for our Congress. We will send out instructions for creating presentations shortly. #ISPAH2021 #ISPAH

@KMason_Wpg Trouble is that it's a minimally paid frontline retail staffer that is being tasked with enforcing the rules now. I don't envy them. That's gotta be stressful. I'm just going to do what I can. #maskup

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@KMason_Wpg I hear ya. But so far, these businesses are not actually enforcing the mask requirements in stores. Out here at least.

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@terracmurray Awe, hope she's feeling better soon!

New publication, hot off the presses! We explored young women's perceptions of exercise misinfo online. Turns out, even exercise science pros were at least a little perplexed, believed some of it. Why? Bc repeated exposure to misinfo makes it seem true. https://t.co/tqxsRf1qTb

@tonitheyogi Family support is crucial for many seeking care, and definitely has a role in a person's outcome. We know family and social support can make an enormous difference to outcomes.

What unmet needs might fuel innovation in healthcare? #MHST601 #futurehealth

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@JilleseLund Totally agree. These cutbacks were disheartening to say the least, in particular in the midst of a pandemic where our province was hit hard. Definitely an enormous barrier.

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

What possible barriers do you foresee affecting health/healthcare advancement? #MHST601 #futurehealth

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@kristenhovet There are some excellent examples of comprehensive health coverage in Scandinavian countries. Unfortunately some Canadian provinces are pushing for two-tiered systems and less coverage

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

What does the future of health in Canada look like, to you? #MHST601 #futurehealth

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@JHartthinks Fantastic idea. And it would deliver information about the pt in the context of their daily lives too. Valuable!

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@RachelSkow Oh my word, yes. All the yes.

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@JHartthinks I have read about this! In AB we have these in limited areas (ex.T2 diabetes care).

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@Raisinw Oh that would be so useful for multidisciplinary teams, patients relocating, etc.!

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

What excites you most about the future of health in Canada? #MHST601 #futurehealth

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@ivanculum Isn't that always the way?!

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@tonitheyogi Good point. What about hubs for virtual care, in particular in rural areas? This way secure, consistent access is at least possible and not at the cost to the individual.

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@JHartthinks Yes! A healthcare system that is primarily focused on proactive rather than reactive care would improve so many conditions. A bonus for the higher ups: it would save billions.

[Elaine Ori, PhD @ChoicesAddUp]

@JHartthinks Agreed. And closer attention to allocation of funds. More money where it's of most use.
