Looking forward to catching up with some innovation peeps at #CANHealthNetwork today. Always interesting to see new and innovative products coming to make healthcare better.
An incredible act of focused philanthropy that will have impact for generations to come. @Gladwell did a great podcast episode on this kind of donation compared to adding to the coffers of already rich institutions. https://t.co/261myGropm

Always nice to see something the procurement team worked on come to fruition (I don't recall the fancy bow being part of the spec though 🤔). The team is thrilled to be part of enabling 1st in 🇨🇦 solutions coming to @SinaiHealth

Totally agree that it is not about whether one is better than the other. Hopefully we will actually make evidence based decisions now and allow patients choices on what type of visit suits them for different needs at different times.
Since the rise of virtual care in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients and doctors were able to use this alternate form of care safely and effectively, suggests new research led by @DrShawnMondoux, associate professor @MacDeptMed.

@KatiePorter_MBA As a consumer I love the option of choosing virtual or in-person. I have a good idea of when I need a physical interaction over a virtual one. Having virtual and avoiding the need to take time off work to drive to a physician office in a huge satisfier for me.
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
@trclosson Agree. Seeing my results same/next day gave me relief much faster. That said, not sure how I would be if it was bad news and then couldn't get hold of my doc to discuss. Still think it should be my choice though.
Wonderful initiative. Results will be fascinating to watch: Why a hospital network is turning a parking lot into affordable housing https://t.co/mUd6ZGG3sC via @torontostar
