To health, public health, and SDOH leaders silent on the anti-Black racism and white supremacy happening right now:
Racism is a social determinant of health. It’s beyond time to take a stand, and use our platforms to speak up as allies in the fight against injustice.
To my white and non-black PH colleagues, when you choose to ignore or not engage in conversations centered around black issues, you're enabling racism. Your silence is heard and your inaction is felt.

@IlanShahin
is right. How do we reimagine a system that is the sum of its policy failures, and no longer works for people & clinicians?
Start w/ core values:
➡️ focus on relationships, not transactions
➡️ empower people/families/caregivers
➡️ prioritize joy in work
Primary care needs to be reimagined. In its current form, it’s resonating less with patients and our newest doctors are turning away. This could be this generation’s landmark acheivement, but it takes industrial quantities of idealism and humility. A challenge.

Keep fighting. Stay kind. And may your floof be impenetrable.
This sheep escaped a farm and spent 6 years in the mountains, during which time he grew 60 pounds of wool. Wolves tried to eat him, but their teeth could not penetrate the floof. You don't have to turn hard to survive the wolves, just be really, really soft and fluffy.

In summary:
Every person forced to go to a walk-in clinic represents a policy failure.
Walk-in clinics an important safety net, but everyone deserves a personal physician. Relational continuity forms the basis for quality care, choosing wisely, appropriate screening.

@NWOdoctor
@silvym98

I do both. Very different. As a walk-in, you are an opportunity for a second opinion/oversight and for the patients without a family doc or a meaningful relationship, you’re an olive branch from the health care system. Esp for mental health, women’s health, transient pop, etc.

Agree with
@drbobbell
. History shows us vexatious audits not way to inspire joy in work in our hard working health professionals.
Similar policies had terrible impact on our caring culture & on patients/families/caregivers.
Compare Cory Report to S. 15 Bill 138 (OHIP audit) .
Some differences- Bill 138 no improvement Sched. Benefits; reviewers not docs; appeal board has minority docs.
IMO

In
#COVID19
, ALL of the contacts of our contacts put our loved ones at risk.
This number adds up quickly. It makes it hard to test-trace-isolate-support in time before the virus ripples through households and risks lives.

3) Continue making masks a social norm.
Wear a mask. More importantly, role model for others on how to wear masks consistently.

A pleasure to join
@uoftmedicine
w/
@jeremyrosh
, in discussion with bright future doctors about health financing.
Key questions:
- what do we value in caring for Canadians?
- how does funding help (or hinder) us in getting there?
- what is our role in advocating for better?

Bravo to the
@UHN
team, supported by community partners and innovators like
@TELUSHealth
@FoodShareTO
, in important leadership toward connecting health and social needs.
Social prescribing is our way toward a healthcare system that is more kind, caring, careful, and equitable.
Today we're highlighting this
@CBCTheNational

Well said

. There’s a reason I love being involved even though it’s >60km away.
@MacHealthSci
/ MD program truly is an extraordinary place.
The educators, the culture, the history of critical thinkers, daring rebels, and world changers. There’s no place like it.
My defence doesn’t serve a purpose, and people will think what they want to think, but as I leisurely walked through all of campus today I became nostalgic and realized I defend it because I really, truly love it here. I love what this place has given to me. I’m really lucky

Let’s say it again for the MPPs in the back.
Cheaper/earlier/easier access to alcohol is 👏 not 👏 a 👏 good 👏 thing.
1/2 of sexual assaults involve alcohol. 1/3 of driving deaths. 1/4 of deaths in young adults.

Our study in
@AMJPublicHealth
found that low SES neighbourhoods in Ontario have greater access to
#alcohol
stores. Concerning since research suggests more alcohol access = more consumption and harms.

Just as relevant in healthcare. Forget the features. What’s our unique benefit?
Reminder: People don't buy products. They buy better versions of themselves.
What are you *really* selling?

“Nutrition is the one answer for twenty diseases.” And more. I’m acutely aware each day that postal code / SDOH play a bigger role than I ever can. But we can start with realistic goals in good food.

I’ve seen the value patients bring to
#MedEd
first-hand. We have patient-educators share lived experience w/ rheumatoid arthritis. They teach us bone+joint clin skills.
Other patient-educators teach us sensitive exams & more
