Congratulations Dr. Bennett!

[Stephanie Bennett @stephlbenn]

Honoured to have received the Jack Fowler Early-Career Investigator Award at #AAPM2022! Infinite thanks to my amazing supervisors, Dr. Ross Berbeco and Dr. Atchar Sudhyadhom. I couldn’t have asked for better mentorship over the last year! @AtcharLab @BrighamRadOnc @HarvardMedPhys

@YWGairport If you have a “pet relief station” you should be able to have a safe breastfeeding/pumping location. Lots of options exist nowadays- check out the MamaVa pods in Toronto airport.

Hey @YWGairport, most large airports nowadays have safe spaces for feeding infants. Disappointed to see you lagging. #nursingmama #pumpingmama #normalisebreastfeeding #mamava

Proud to work in a place where 8/9 of this team is female, including 2 cardiac anesthesiologists, 1 cardiac surgeon, 1 perfusionist and 4 exceptional nurses. @HSN_Sudbury @thenosm

[Health Sciences North / Horizon Santé-Nord @HSN_Sudbury]

Congratulations to Dr. Bindu Bittira and Dr. Derek MacDonald and their dedicated team for becoming the first cardiac surgical team in the world to implant the three Resilia tissue heart valves. https://t.co/xy58P2tbi2

What a difference a year makes

[MDJ | Danielle Jones, MD, FACOG @MamaDoctorJones]

Having a uterus means even the @WHO believes your autonomy matters less than a fetus (or, in this case, a possible fetus).

No, people of “childbearing age” & potential should NOT be prevented from drinking alcohol…bc they are *checks notes* ACTUAL ADULT HUMANS & not incubators.

@ottawaheartrob @CAS_CVT Thanks @OttawaheartRob! Hoping that we can grow these kinds of conversations within our specialty, and the CAS CVT Ethics forum is a great start. @CAS_CVT

[Kaitlin Duncan @duncan_kait]

Thank you for shedding light on what we see every day- healthcare inequities, including access to surgery, are massive determinants of indigenous health outcomes. Data drives change- partnerships enable it. Amazing work ⁦@jaymcv⁩ and team! https://t.co/7xdThMH9oa

[Kaitlin Duncan @duncan_kait]

@AnesthesiaAgnes @ottawaheartrob @mcisaac_d Reminds me of this great approach I learned on my palliative care rotations... the Best Case/Worst Case Surgical Communication Tool: https://t.co/si15ZF5hqO

[Kaitlin Duncan @duncan_kait]

Patient-centred care means taking time for our own internal reflection too. Looking forward to some great discussion!

[Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society @CASUpdate]

This session will include an overview of medical ethics and provide a framework through which challenging cases can be deconstructed. Don't miss out - June 12!

As the only woman on three flights around Northern Ontario today— anyone who says the pandemic affects women equally is... probably not a woman. #genderedpandemic #COVID19ON

[Kaitlin Duncan @duncan_kait]

We are failing our essential workers. Here’s hoping we have an ICU bed when they need it.

[Ornge @Ornge]

Norm Wesley, an elder in @MooseCree First Nation, encourages everyone to be vaccinated against #COVID19.

"Muskox will form a circle to defend themselves, "he says. "The vulnerable are in the circle. In being vaccinated, we are those Muskox." #OpRemoteImmunity @NANComms

[Kaitlin Duncan @duncan_kait]

An opportunity missed to show allyship instead of political partisanship— ⁦@fordnation⁩ https://t.co/DO17YZtj5D

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

Although I like the term “vaccine confidence” instead of “vaccine hesitancy”, both terms focus on the individual. We need to remember that for those who are marginalized by historic & current health systems, the onus should be on the system to create safety and build trust.

[Ornge @Ornge]

Operation Remote Immunity has administered first doses to all 31 remote fly-in Indigenous communities. Second doses to be completed by April.

As of March 7, #OpRemoteImmunity administered 15,324 doses, including 12,660 first doses & 2,664 second doses. https://t.co/y4WVWSTgYs

More than 400 vaccinations in Pikangikum in two days!

Congratulations to Pikangikum on this achievement. One step closer to protecting your community! 👏👏 #OpRemoteImmunity

[Angela Sterritt 📘 @AngelaSterritt]

Nurses carrying in Moderna vaccines to the remote Indigenous community of Ahousat. The community honoured them with ceremony today before they vaccinated several members of the community. Chief Louie says it was an emotional experience, knowing Elders will be protected.

[Kaitlin Duncan @duncan_kait]

A privilege to visit Bearskin Lake First Nation as part of #OpRemoteImmunity.

Over 90% of eligible members vaccinated thanks to the organization, leadership and volunteers of this community.

Stay strong, stay healthy, get vaccinated! @thenosm @Ornge

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

A reminder of why Indigenous people are being prioritized for vaccines.

In addition to the disproportionate rates of infection, hospitalization and ICU stay, FN people are more likely to die at a younger age from #covid in Manitoba.
