In a letter to the editor in @TorontoStar, RNAO CEO @DorisGrinspun says while physicians are essential, they cannot address Ontario's #PrimaryCareCrisis alone.
"Nurses urge @BonnieCrombie to revise her pledge and promise access to either a family doctor or nurse practitioners supported by interprofessional teams of nurses, allied health professionals and social workers to the 2.5 million Ontarians who currently lack a primary care provider."

On #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating the incredible women at St. Joe’s. Healthcare is a unique industry in which women make up the majority of the work force. Hear thoughts about embracing gender equity from women at St. Joe’s.🧵
Claudia Rodrigues is St. Joe’s Manager, Telecomm & Info Desk. She says: "The greatest gift for women in leadership roles is also their greatest obligation: to lift up young women in the workplace and to make clear to their teams that they need to do that for each other.”
Catherine Duffin, St. Joe’s Clinical Director Women’s Health & Newborn Care says: ‘Women have a voice in healthcare. This is incredibly empowering. Women have the ability to bring the emotional intelligence required to thrive."
Hoodo Ibrahim, Brantford ACTT Manager says progressive policies are needed to promote women-friendly workforces, including educational programs, flexible work schedules, forgiving attendance programs, accessible childcare, equitable pay & professional development.
Can we please take a minute to appreciate @cathyacrowe as she closes the book on her legendary career? Not only has she served as a street nurse for >35 years but she's been an incredible advocate for people experiencing homelessness. Let's tell her how much we appreciate her! 🙏🏾
Today is the International Day for the Elimination of violence against women and girls. Violence is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world. Let’s fight it to end violence against women and girls. #YSW#onpoli#cdnpoli#TOpoli
