Great news for patients in Manitoba. Thanks to increased funding, HSC Winnipeg is getting more beds, including more permanent beds in the pediatric ICU. This means better care and support for their young patients. bit.ly/4aP5Eg2

On the heels of a very positive discussion between Children's Healthcare Canada and Mark Holland, we are thrilled to see a new $500M federal investment targeting youth mental health. An important step forward towards right-sizing children's health systems. 💪

#ItDoesntHaveToHurt

Is there poison in our pockets? Too much social media is bad for your health. Almost a decade ago I wrote a book exclusively on this topic, endlessly worried about how tech companies saw young users as a goldmine for data and dollars.

Thnx The Globe and Mail for publishing this theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… The path to better health care doesn’t require further recommendations re how it should be fixed. It requires political leadership. Governing is not theoretical. The job of politicians is to implement actual solutions

Thanks to our members & Mark Holland for a great meeting today on our shared goals of improving child healthcare.

Adults aren't the only ones waiting for surgical interventions. Kids are in the queue too - and often waiting longer than grownups.

Today, we honour the unsung heroes of our daily lives - the caregivers. Their unwavering support, endless patience, and boundless love make a world of difference.

This is incredible. The upstream effect of this announcement will be immense. Without adequate nutrition, how can one learn? Such an important announcement when it comes to SDOH. 👏 👏 👏
