For neurologist Dr. Kerrie Schoffer, virtual care is like the new house call for patients with neurodegenerative conditions. “I can see into my patient’s home, tour their house and point out things like fall hazards while we’re chatting," she says: https://t.co/RI96LWfHGC
Happy #DoctorsDay to Nova Scotia’s 2,400 practising physicians. Thank you for stepping up to support your patients, colleagues and communities during this challenging time. We are grateful for all you do every day to keep us healthy and safe 💓👏🏽💓
Although mask requirements have lifted, you never know the health issue others may be facing. Get boosted, wear a mask in settings with vulnerable people and stay home when you are sick. Most importantly, be kind. Everyone is doing the best they can and what’s right for them.

“What should I grow?” is a common question from new veg gardeners. I ask “What are your fridge staples?” Mine include broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onions & greens. But I also love fresh beans, peas, tomatoes, and cukes. Grow what you love to eat & what is $ to buy.
We can hardly believe it but the Healthy Tomorrow Foundation just turned 4!! 🎈
