On #FirstRespondersDay, we honour and celebrate Ontario’s first responders. These heroic men and women go above and beyond to be there in our time of need.
Thank you to all first responders for your bravery and dedication to protecting the health and safety of Ontarians.
Today is Doctors’ Day in Canada.
Our government is incredibly thankful for the critical work Ontario's doctors do every day, providing care to Ontarians across our province.
The work of our doctors is vital to building a better-connected, patient-centred health care system.
Today I joined @PBethlenfalvy & @lornecoe to announce our investment of $1B more to further expand home care.
This investment will ensure Ontarians can receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes & alleviate pressure on our hospitals.

Today I joined @PBethlenfalvy to announce $2.5M to expand & build a new, modernized hospital at @MSHospital's Uxbridge site.
This will make it easier for families to access high-quality care as we continue to build a stronger, more resilient health system.

It was a pleasure to join @fordnation at @SHNcares to announce a more than $1B investment in several major redevelopment projects.
This will help meet the health care needs of the growing Scarborough community and put an end to hallway health care.

This week is Medical Laboratory Week.
I want to acknowledge and thank the medical laboratory professionals across Ontario, who are a vital part of our health care system, especially during the #COVID19 pandemic.

Beginning April 12, Ontario is making it easier for eligible individuals with a prescription to access antivirals by expanding dispensing locations to include participating pharmacies.
