Nobody should be digging for change or stressing over parking fees when they’re at the hospital. That’s why, starting May 1, parking will be free at all Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health facilities. This change means less stress for patients, families, and healthcare workers.…

I would like a @netflix special in which John Mulaney breaks down the plots of 100 movies in 100 minutes.

Y'all are never gonna see me shut up about this: Greta Gerwig should absolutely have been nominated for Best Director, and it's completely fucking absurd that she wasn't. #Oscars

Incredible to see the difference in the labs, now that APL is back in charge. Waiting room has space for everyone, wait for appt less than 5 min. Staff relieved and smiling again behind masks. Can we please remember this was a failed experiment with Private-For-Profit healthcare?

This is amazing. Thanks to @PfParks for courageously speaking truth to power. (How sad that basic public health messaging now requires courage). Please listen to what he has to say. (And yes, you can be amused by the looks on the faces of the other two people as well).

We want every nurse in Alberta to have the opportunity to meet Canada’s Chief Nursing Officer, Dr. Leigh Chapman. The underlying message of Dr. Chapman's presentation will be one of unity: now more than ever, we need to be united as a profession. events.zoom.us/ev/AqZso4yeAkF…

Criminalizing patient safety events risks creating a dangerous chilling effect. When things go wrong, we need clinicians to report it so we can fix the system level contributors. It’s very rarely about bad 🍏 🍎 So say it with me: not in 🇨🇦 npr.org/sections/healt…
