Emma’s story is an example of the ongoing crisis in pediatric health care, and a reminder that this crisis is not just in our emergency rooms and ICUs but is an equally dangerous risk for our outpatients.
There are tens of thousands of children in our region waiting for appointments at CHEO and many of them are waiting longer than doctors recommend. https://t.co/ITdF2a92Bw
“We can’t simply blame this crisis on COVID—that’s the easy way out. Canadian health care, both primary and emergency, has been buckling for decades, and I’ve had a front-row seat to its slow collapse.” — @alandrummond2 https://t.co/vyjOK8oPcT
Thank you @CHEO for the generous gift & powerful read in preparation for our leadership day next week! Looking forward to our guest speaker @NightShiftMD

If your child/youth has a new cough, cold or runny nose and needs in-person assessment, book an appointment at one of the two care clinics in Ottawa. These clinics are great alternatives to coming to #CHEO’s Emergency Depart. when you need non-urgent care: https://t.co/zJS6PyJ3uv
A fond farewell as @CHEO Team Brewer hosts their last huddle in the arena. Laughs, awards, a song & a COVID piñata! Over two years this team delivered for #Ottawa with over 180,000 swabs done with care & compassion. Special thanks to several generations of leaders & Dr Ken Farion
