From hallway medicine to storage closet medicine, from bad to worse ..
No one in 2023 should be experiencing this level of care in our hospitals.
There is no doubt. Truth be told.
Thank you Kathy Cooper for sharing your story with my Office and @CHCHNews .
Public health care in Canada is under threat. Today, I am joining @HealthCoalition in calling on @JustinTrudeau and @jyduclos to uphold the Canada Health Act — and stop the privatization of health care in Canada for good. https://t.co/FchmieBdR4

Saw a patient recently without housing who was in and out of hospital. But how could we keep calling them “hard to reach” or “lost to follow-up” when they didn’t have a cell phone? Peer workers in the Stabilization Centre/ER set up a phone for him and the next morning I got a call: “Doc, when am I seeing you for my visit.” We need compassionate health systems that bridge health and social care, but we really need housing for all.

@ontarionurses@OntHospitalAssn A thought…when you reviewing your contracs…maybe ensure the #nurses you are fighting for can access #nursepsychotherapists. Right now…the benefits you’ve negotiated make it so they can’t. The optics suck & so does their lack of access to mental health care by a #nurse
Contract talks between ONA hospital registered nurses & @OntHospitalAssn (OHA) have broken down & will now head to arbitration in early May.
“This round of negotiations has been incredibly difficult & frustrating.” - ONA Interim Provincial President Bernie Robinson, RN #onpoli🧵
The Premier claimed he “loves nurses”. If this were true, he wouldn’t be taking them to court over #Bill124 that was already deemed unconstitutional and suppressing their wages.
When you love and value workers, you treat them with respect and dignity.
We’re not fooled. #onpoli
"@fordnation has underspent in health care by more than a billion dollars. This is a plan to starve our system and destroy public health care." - Natalie Mehra, @OntarioHealthC#SupportNurses#OnPoli
.@DorisGrinspun says nurses feel devalued because of Ontario's #Bill124 which the Superior Court deemed "unconstitutional."
"We need to make compensation in the province at par with other jurisdictions and the U.S." #QPD
RNAO CEO @DorisGrinspun says the #NursingCareerPathways report is a means to address the #RN & #RPN shortage in Ontario. #QPD#onpoli
"Both nurses & Ontarains pay with their health when ERs closed...stand-alone private for-profit clinics will not solve the #NursingCrisis."
📢Our 23rd annual Queen's Park Day has begun!

Since early this morning, Ontario Nurses and Health-care professionals have been boarding buses in all corners of the province to join today's All Out Shut Down protest at 12pm @ 123 Queen W.
@OntHospitalAssn and @fordnation have no idea what's coming...
#SupportNurses#OnPoli
Ontario's nurses & health-care professionals got us through a historic pandemic, and the thanks they got was @fordnation’s wage cap law, Bill 124.
We need a better deal for our hospital nurses and the patients they care for!
