I had the opportunity to visit my friends and colleagues at Scarborough Health Network @shncares to highlight a number of our government’s initiatives to better the healthcare system here in Scarborough through a historic $1 billion investment to build a brand new hospital at Birchmount as well as expanding the emergency department at Centenary Hospital. We are continuing our support by investing more in the operations of the hospital as well as recently announcing 4 new hospice beds to provide compassionate end-of-life care. We will always step up to deliver better health care for our community.

Disturbing news from NIH today. All study sections cancelled. Health research is what makes America great. Research saves lives. The biomedical research sector employs many Americans. Hospitals and universities need research grants for infrastructure.

In clinic today, I saw a long-time patient in my practice who has had recurrent, significant medical illness She brought me close to tears when she said: "Whatever is on your mind these days, I want you to know that everything will be okay" Amazing when our patients heal us

Imagine if children had to wait to get into public schools and at the same time teachers were leaving public schools for private schools. What would governments do? We should think about access to health care similarly.

1) Breaking: Quebec last year reported the biggest single increase in doctors quitting the public system to charge patients for a wide range of procedures that would normally be covered under medicare, especially for hip and joint replacements. See below.👇montrealgazette.com/news/loc…

Cancer treatment advancements have saved lives, but the increased complexity in care can be difficult to navigate—especially for marginalized communities. A new project led by Drs @LisaHicksMD & Ronita Lee at St. Michael's Hospital will help address this. unityhealth.to/2024/07/addre…
