On Respiratory Therapists’ week, I just have to tout the excellence of this amazing group of RTs (RRCPs) at the Ventilator Equipment Pool, Kingston - Brilliant professionals, lovely people and consistently outstanding service to our patients and our province ! Thanks ++
Our #healthcare heroes received some back-up today - #superheroes brought smiles to the faces of our youngest #patients. Staff from @EliteWindowC rappelled down the building to not only fight grime, but bring much needed fun & distraction to patients, family & staff. #ygk
'Unmasked' - During the #COVID19 3rd wave, more than 130 patients have been transferred to #ygk for care. When they arrive, they are met by a dedicated team in our ICU. We invite you to read individual accounts from our staff on the front line. Read More: https://t.co/EYR2y9lpIu
‘They saved my life’ - #COVID19 patient Lewellyn Allworth is one of more than 60 critically ill people who have been transferred across Ontario to #ygk for care in KHSC's ICU. He shares harrowing story & thanks the #healthcare teams that saved his life: https://t.co/Pp44heiZqV
So proud to be a apart of a program that focuses on keeping NIV and INV ventilator users safe and well cared for at home, especially during COVID19 @LIVEntilation
Patients who use ventilators can face frequent hospitalizations. Cristiano, now 7, & his family even spent their first holidays at SickKids. This year the LIVE program – a #virtualcare platform – will help make it easier for them to enjoy Christmas at home https://t.co/PMXlEHSc8d

The role of the Respiratory Therapist is vital during these unprecedented times. The role is an integral part of the health care team battling on the front lines in both the acute, primary care and in long term care settings...
Whether it's virtual dance classes with the @nationalballet, 3D-printed “mask relaxers,” ventilator wrangling, or heartfelt salutes, it's all part of @UHN life during these pandemic times.
