NEW: Dolly Parton announces she is personally donating $1 million to Hurricane Helene victims, calls on people to step up and help out.
"Remember when we had the fires, everybody pitched in, tried to do everything that they could."
"I really think that this is a time for me to step up again for all of us to step up and do what we can. I wanted to announce that from myself personally..."
"Just from my own bank account. I'm donating a million dollars today, but there's a lot to be done and we're trying to find other ways to even raise more funds."
"But also with my Dollywood companies... we've added another million dollars to that 1 million... like I said, we're trying to find other new ways to make money. 'cause it's going to take a lot of money, as you know."
Eastern Canada recently saw a lot of heavy rain, and reports of exacerbated #asthmasymptoms saw a significant increase. #Climatechange affects health. With increasing temperatures and more severe storms, people with asthma are at higher risk of weather triggering #asthma flares.
I was glad to join Minister @NatKusendova and MPP @SherefSabawyPC at @CarepointM for this announcement today. @AsthmaCanada advocates for access to interprofessional, team-based primary care, and this investment is a positive step to strengthen primary care in @citymississauga

Let’s talk about #pollen. Pollen is a fine powdery substance produced by species of trees, grass and weeds. For many people with #allergic#asthma, pollen may result in #asthmasymptoms that may make it more difficult to #breathe.

For 50 years, Asthma Canada has proudly served as the national voice for Canadians living with asthma. We are calling on @ONGov to make asthma care a priority & act on the recommendations outlined in the consensus statements study: https://t.co/tJsByxlJ4I
#onpoli#onhealth (3/3)
We need urgent action to:
1. Enhance the role of certified respiratory educators in supporting primary care
2. Proactively identify uncontrolled asthma to prevent ER visits/hospitalization
3. Establish a referral pathway w/ defined criteria to ensure timely access to care (2/3)
We welcome the vital investments towards team-based care and health human resources in @ONGov’s #Budget2024 yesterday. As millions of Ontarians impacted by asthma face challenges in accessing high-quality care close to home, we call on policy makers to address care gaps. (1/3)
Sad to hear of the passing of PM Mulroney, the leader of our country during some pivotal times. He was also generous and kind and you always knew where you stood with him. He was a supporter of many charitable causes. Condolences to his family #RIPBrianMulroney
@JeffreyDBeach & Certified Respiratory Educator Joyce Yee met with @NatKusendova to discuss recommendations on improving care for Ontarians with severe #asthma. Investing in CREs will help ensure patients are diagnosed more quickly and improve access to specialists. #healthcare
