Thanks @cmadocs for the discussion and draft recommendations for public and private health care and Dr. Joss Reimer for highlighting some of these key issues.

Skip the Olympics, watch this masterpiece. 🔊

Video is long, but highlights rural ER's and the reality that some are facing. What do we need? Funding and clinical supports to sustain clinicians in communities. This matters for the whole team - paramedics, RN's, MDs, admin leaders. cbc.ca/player/play/vi…

I’m fortunate to work at a family health team in ON. It’s family MD led, w/ comprehensive primary care services (OHIP funded) delivered collaboratively by interprofessional health care providers, including pharmacy. More investment in ⬆️ model is needed. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

For the cost of 2 hospitals... primary care for everyone? That seems like a bargain to me. Everyone should take 3 minutes and read this op-ed from Dr. Sarita Verma (She/Her) Jane Philpott and Danielle Martin . ottawacitizen.com/opinion/martin… NOSM University | Université EMNO Ontario Medical Association @ontariocollege

We know what Canadians want - see ourcare.ca. ER is for acute and episodic urgent care. How many of those 1 million ER visits could have been managed, and better managed, in a robust primary care sector. We can and must do better. OCFP The College of Family Physicians of Canada

We are at a critical point and we need a health human resources plan, AND an implementation strategy, to support equitable access to care for Ontarians, & equitable access to clinical teaching for learners. Especially for the North. We can do this in Ontario! Ontario Medical Association

Small communities without health care access will not thrive economically . If we want a thriving economy in Northern Ontario, we need to ensure robust access to health services locally. We can do this in Ontario. NOSM University | Université EMNO Ontario Medical Association FedNor

Terrific interview, inspiring leadership. Thanks Jane Philpott for sharing a vision we can all get behind!

Outbreaks (and why regulation and inspection is a good investment!) That deli meat sandwich or almond milk, “raw” milk can be dangerous. Listeriosis (diarrhea to sepsis and meningitis) can be fatal, and bacteria can happily live in refrigerated - thawed foods 1/

Wonderful to have been there to meet so many of the new NOSM University | Université EMNO class and to hear the terrific Dr. Adam Moir share his 4 lessons :) Welcome to Northern Ontario!

Great to be in Thunder Bay yesterday to see community reps share their opportunities for learning with the incoming NOSM University | Université EMNO class! Thank you to all the communities who came to each campus site!
