@Dr_ChrisSimpson @OntarioHealthOH @Dr_ChrisSimpson thinking of u & other care providers as ICU rates remain higher than in the 1st 2 waves & an ever growing surgery backlog last est at ~420k. I’m sure there are days where it may feel climbing Everest might be easier.

work by Dr. Nadine Caron & @jaymcv #indigenous healthcare leaders is a great start to capturing the factual data needed so programs can be funded to address the #inequalities in access to #healthcare services for #indigenouspeople.

It's past 1030 on Saturday night. Lineup a good 500 deep triple looped outside. No "vaccine hesitancy" in these heavily impacted communities. Just vaccine inaccessibility & insecurity. Less barriers means more equity. It starts here. #DosesAfterDark

Today on Rosemary Barton Live COVID-19 variants and the pressure on Ontario hospitals; we’ll hear from @Dr_ChrisSimpson about how ICU patients are being moved to various hospitals across the province. Tune in at 10 ET on CBCNN and CBC Gem.

@Dr_ChrisSimpson Insurers are citing up to a 20% decrease in claims related to cancer. Global News touches on key reason - decreased screening.

Sadly, Chris I anticipate we will see the blacklog grow.

Looking forward to speaking with @DaveTrafford on his

Enjoyed the conversation with @StaffordShow - discussing solutions for the rising # of Canadians dealing with #mentalhealth . Adopting proven #cancernavigation increasing mortality rates from 39% to 70%. #mentalhealthnavigation #cdnhealth

[Angela Johnson @medconfidence]

Appreciate @nationalpost publishing my article. @CAMH study cites the importance of moving beyond awareness to solutions. Using #cancer patient navigation frameworks for #mentalhealth makes so much sense - proven to increase mortality rate from 39% to 70%. #mentalhealthnavigation

I admit transitioning from #entrepreneur to a senior leader in a publicly traded company is a change that I, @MedicalConfiden & @CloudMD_SS need to recognize the importance of getting it right. Excited about this next chapter as a leader. @McKinsey #leadership #transition #

Thank you for your continued work @SteiniBrown this work is critical. Without it behaviours will not be adjusted and the projections will be inevitable. I hope we continue to listen to the advice.

Why are so many women getting #hysterectomies ? Often the answer for pain and #excessivebleeding. Every #gynecologist knows how to do one, but not every gyno is trained in alternative procedures. #patientadvocacy so important. Glad I had a great gyno!
