Looking forward to the opening of Mississauga's very first residential hospice next to Wellbrook Place. Great to see Kitrina Fex from @hospicesauga, @JenMossop from @HPCOntario, Kerri VanSickle from @StedmanHospice, and Pamela Blackwood from @McNallyHospice today at Queen's Park.
@AnneofKingston@DocMCohen Any time! Advocacy is vital to making changes and improvements! I am happy to talk.more about this topic as it is very near and dear to me! As a nurse and a person! Thank you for caring!!!
@AnneofKingston@DocMCohen Healthcare is tough. It's expensive an if you don't need it, it is easy to say no to more money. But hospice is vital! I 100 percent agree with you there! We can always do better. But I am very proud of our hospital care and hospice care in my community!!
@AnneofKingston@DocMCohen The only other thing I can comment is that LTC is not predatory. It is a vital component to our health care system. Are there things that could be improved. Most definitely. But I agree end of life care is vital. Unfortunately the dead don't vote! So it falls to the community!
@AnneofKingston@DocMCohen Ruth I will say it takes someone to advocate and then push to the government to develop such a team and then need a leader and then ask for money. It should not be so difficult but it is. We have had such advocates here and the system works well.
@AnneofKingston@DocMCohen Part 3 qnd our local hospice is also adept at after death and grieving families care which our hospital does not have resources to do. We are fortunate there is a symbiotic relationship between the palliative care ward at the hospital and our local hospice. Which works well.
@AnneofKingston@DocMCohen Part 2. This leads to the challenge of how best to use the money in the community whole being fiscally responsible to donors. Our hospital has a palliative care ward which takes care of symptom management and can also do end of life while our hospice can care for end of life.
