This headline is disappointing. Our research has shown repeatedly that the vast majority of family doc offices have been open to in-person visits through the pandemic Our team has been seeing +++ people with respiratory illness these last few weeks. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

The article ⬇️ by Patrick Swadden highlights the overcrowded ER situation in Ontario. It also suggests primary care providers are not seeing enough patients in person. Since no Family MD or nurse practitioner were interviewed, here are my thoughts: A 🧵. cbc.ca/news/canada/to… 1/17

Thanks Richard. You can find examples of those not seeing in person, but our data shows only 105/9462 (1.1%) of comprehensive FPs doing virtual only in Ontario. This story not well researched and feeds false narratives. CBC News Tara Kiran OCFP Allan Grill

We are encouraged to hear that Minister Duclos is considering increased investments through the Canada Health Transfer on the condition that the provinces use common key health indicators. Today, 1.8 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor

It's been 21 years and this day still brings tears to my eyes.

On the eve of #bullyingpreventionweek, I proudly remember my son's bravery in speaking out about his experiences with bullying and I am so grateful for all of the support we've received since. DrTracyVaillancourt Nicole Lampa kitchener.ctvnews.ca/we-felt-really…

My son was terrified when he was at school. My daughter was heartbroken when she saw her brother was hurting. My husband and I were devastated. Bullying has ripple effects. This week, let’s talk about how to #stopbullying. The Ripple Effect Education Kids Help Phone #bullyingpreventionweek

It takes courage for a child or family to disclose bullying. So when they do, please LISTEN to them. I was shocked and felt helpless when my efforts to keep my son safe at school didn't work. kitchener.ctvnews.ca/we-felt-really… #bullyingpreventionweek Nicole Lampa

Bullying can be traumatic for all involved. If you witness bullying, please remember to be an ally rather than a bystander. #standuptobullying #bullyingpreventionweek

Why was I told it was a "he said, she said" when they could see the bruises? Why didn't they help when he was suicidal? Why was nothing done when the bully threatened to kill my family? Bullying hurts. Don't miss an opportunity to support a child in need. #bullyingpreventionweek

It's energizing to see people like Asa Ahimbisbwe raising awareness about #bullying with books like this one. Your kindness towards my son will not be forgotten 💙. #bullyingpreventionweek

My 8-year-old daughter is both enjoying the Christmas spirit and the opportunity to practice her cursive writing 😁.

Came home from after-hours clinic today to this beautiful portrait from my daughter. Reminds me of how grateful I am for all of the healthcare workers who are working hard to support their patients this season. Hope you all find time to rest and recharge 💙.

I'm incredibly proud to be sharing an exciting accomplishment that I've been working towards for years. I never knew I'd actually get here. My 11 yo son thinks my jokes are as good as (I think he meant better than) my husband's dad jokes. Sanj Sathiyamoorthy look out!
