Breast cancer screening is a part of #TransHealth. Transgender and gender-diverse people are less likely to be screened, are diagnosed at later stages, and can face worse outcomes for #BreastCancer
If you are 40 years+ and have breast/chest tissue, you may be at risk for breast cancer, whether you're trans, nonbinary or Two-spirit. Visit WCH’s breast imaging centre and complete a self-referral for a mammogram: loom.ly/UCNyrnY #2SLGBTQIHealth

This oversimplification of a complex problem is clickbait at its best.
The healthcare staffing crisis is not physician driven. Just like ICU beds are not only furniture, surgeries need a LOT more than surgeons.
Let's value our nurses – at Toronto, Ontario
