Great meeting - thanks so much to United Nurses of Alberta for including me and for the thoughtful dialogue on the most pressing issues affecting nurses in AB.

Optimizing the working conditions of nurses is critical in retaining them in the profession. Retention is 🔑

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system 🇨🇦

I spent time with Dr. Leigh Chapman and some members from United Nurses of Alberta.
We will continue to work together to deliver better care for Canadians.

The nurse shortage, staff safety in hospitals, and mental health & addictions were some of the top concerns raised by nurses meeting with Mark Holland and Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈 today. Thank you to the federal ministers for taking the time to meet with Alberta nurses. #neednursesAB
