I want a commitment from @fordnation @ONThealth to fund desperately needed surge beds so patients don’t sleep on the ER floor; so elderly people don’t wait 22h in a wheelchair for a bed; so that I don’t have to discuss miscarriages in public hallways; so I can resuscitate people

Dr. Elana Fric - mother, friend, & family doctor. She mattered to many including HER patients.
@nationalpost, this #frontpage story is an awful, awful way of entering into what needs to be a serious, solution focussed discussion about wait times and health services.
#SayHerName
Dr. Elana Fric was a well-respected family doctor & mother. Her children survive her & have to cope with the loss of their mother & of their family life.
This story on surgical wait times risks harming instead of helping.

Great initiative by @HamiltonFamMed @HamHealthSci @STJOESHAMILTON to improve care to children who don’t have a family doc/primary care team or can’t access theirs. Also, great example of how an organized primary care sector can help address system pressures on hospitals.
Our new walk-in clinic for children with viral illnesses opens today at 4:30 p.m. at McMaster Children’s Hospital. If your family doctor isn’t available, this is an excellent option for kids’ care. hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/sh…

It's #DigitalHealthWeek!

As we head deeper into this unusually busy season of coughs and colds, it’s important to know when to call your family doctor and when to take your child to the emergency room. Let’s all work together #HamOnt!!

I was happy to sit down with leading hyperlocal journalist @JoeyColeman and discuss my candidacy for the mayoralty.
Our city is lucky to have a pathfinder like Joey holding City Hall to account. #HamOnt

5% of the high risk elderly population, and 10% of those over 60 haven't had a dose of vaccine. 20-25% haven't had a booster.
(see ices.on.ca/DAS/AHRQ/COVID-19…)
If plan for fall doesn't go full court press to vaccinate/treat and focuses on low yield (border) - we've missed the point

If government isn’t ensuring the safety of children sitting in a classroom from random violence, it has completely lost its way. 2/3

The criteria are here - and contacting your providers or assessment centers are a good start (Hamiltoncovidtest.ca or stjoes.ca/mabclinic locally)
There are some challenges but they will be ironed out, but please work proactively to help rather than politicize
