Love it! A beautiful story of music and friendship with layers of Canadian history and hometown pride. Made me sing, laugh and cry. Thanks for the memories. @thehipofficial @PrimeVideo @WolfeIslander3
Today is the day. “The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal” is streaming worldwide on @PrimeVideo / @PrimeVideoCA. Forty years after our inception as a band.
Thank you all for supporting us, we wouldn’t be here without you. No dress rehearsal, this is our life; and we’re proud.

Heads up to anyone planning to park at the Chown garage with an appointment at Hotel Dieu Hospital today or tomorrow. @KingstonHSC
A planned electrical shut down will be taking place at the Chown Memorial Parking Garage (197 Brock St.) on Thursday, Jan. 4.
During this time, the garage will be open, but the elevators and lighting will not be operational.

So moving....a tear might have been shed. A heartwarming message of gratitude that demonstrates the powerful impact of acts of empathy and compassion on the #patientexperience. #myKHSC #HappyNursesWeek #pfcc
An absolutely moving tribute to one of our Hotel Dieu site nurses from a thankful patient on #NationalNursingWeek. Thanks to @HeyBenMcLean @rockinreid & @Move983 for sharing this story. A beautiful example of the compassion shown by the incredible staff at #myKHSC everyday. #ygk
My Aunt shared this amazing picture with me a few years ago. With the passing of @Lightfoot365 we thought it would be a good time to share this special picture of a teenage Gord entertaining the kids at a cottage on Bass Lake after a night at the dance hall💖

Great to see resources like this.
Improved labelling and the list of alternate names for egg has made a significant difference to how I live with my severe #eggallergy. Thanks @FoodAllergyCAN. BTW, did you know some wines can cause an egg reaction?
Did you know Eggs have two allergenic parts, the yolk and the white 🥚? Eggs are considered a priority #foodallergen in Canada. Learn about #eggallergy and what you can do to be allergy-aware! foodallergycanada.ca/allergi…

So frightening to have a sick child. Every little act of kindness makes such a difference especially when so far from home. So heartwarming to hear about this family's experience of caring and kindness @KingstonHSC during such a challenging time. So generous of them to share it.
400 kilometers from home: The Rutherfords are one of 25 families who have been transferred across Ontario to #myKHSC for care during the current province-wide pediatric surge. They share the story of their young son’s illness and his journey to #ygk. More: kingstonhsc.ca/khscconnect/n…

I am so thankful to have individuals with this level of skill and dedication in the @KingstonHSC community. Huge gratitude to all. I am not a nurse but do have Grandma skills so if you need a baby cuddler or a popsicle runner count me in! @ontarionurses @JasonHannKHSC
Pediatric nurses @KingstonHSC , including some back to peds after a hiatus, and some new(er) to the team, are doing incredible work under heavy workload.
The children of our region, and of other parts of Ontario, are benefiting from their dedication, professionalism and skill.

So maddening @couragesings. The frustration around patients missing appointments runs both ways but the patient gets labelled a "no show" or dropped when the fault often rests in poor communication or bad process. #personcentredcare

The only way to learn from health care experiences is for there to be opportunities and a willingness to share them. Home care is a critical link in the chain of an integrated system. Please consider sharing your experience with @SEHCResearch. #personcentredcare
The @SEHCResearch is looking for feedback on home care client experience. Join an upcoming focus group and share your experiences.

Very disheartening to read this thread. Wish I could say I'm surprised. Grateful to @beadagainstfash for sharing these observations and appreciate the sharing of guidance on how to be better.
I have an enormous amount of feelings over how non-Natives acted at the Na-Me-Res pow wow today. It was incredibly disheartening and upsetting in so many ways. I don't have the bandwidth to explain it all right now, but I'm going to come back to this. It's not okay at all.
A truly amazing team of people @KingstonHSC. Recognition of the contributions of #patientadvisors across the organization by @AccredCanada means so much to all who are partnering to support a culture of #personcentredcare during a really challenging time. Congratulations to all.
'E' for Exemplary! KHSC is proud to be accredited with the highest award possible by @AccredCanada for meeting 3000-plus best-practice, global standards for safe, quality health care. #YGK #healthcare #ONhealth

There are so many lessons in Jason's experiences. It is a gift that he is willing to share them, a call to action for us to learn from them and an opportunity to partner in making change happen. #standuptostigma
