"Canada’s healthcare system, once a source of national pride, is now facing critical challenges that have led many to view it as “unwell” or “sick.”" Base Hospital medical director Dr. Mike Austin calls for changes to advance the paramedic profession: emottawablog.com/2023/10/transf…

Last call today for Frontenac Paramedic Michael Pasch who is retiring after almost 30 years in paramedicine. Congratulations, Michael! And thank you for your dedicated service all these years. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 #YGK #InFrontenac #Paramedics #LastCall

Thursday podcast: Why the crisis in paramedic services in Ontario is a municipal election issue w/@WiltonDarryl prez @OntParamedic plus @dianedeans #Ottawa city #onpoli cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Today, I visited @RunnymedeHC with Ministers @celliottability, @SylviaJonesMPP, and @MichaelTibollo for a roundtable discussion on the expansion of treatments for #FirstResponders suffering from #PTSD. You keep us safe every day and our government is here to support you.

The provincial government has announced an $80 million investment to expand the Community Paramedicine for Long-Term Care program to all eligible seniors in Ontario, providing intermediate care for those waiting to enter the long-term care system. cp24.com/news/ontario-t…

Beautifully said. An ICN Nurse reponds to the Kelowna General Hospital protesters. This was a sad moment in Canadian history, and her words capture the absurdity of it all so well. #COVID19 #NursingMatters @nnp_bc kelownacapnews.com/opinion/letter…

In Ontario, 20,213,876 vaccine doses have been administered. 81.5% of Ontarians 12+ have one dose and 73.5% have two doses. 108 people are hospitalized (excl. ICU) with #COVID19, and 119 people are in ICU due to COVID-19. Please note that not all hospitals report on weekends.

Even as #COVID19 restrictions continue to ease, if you call 9-1-1, please wait for Paramedics to approach you when the ambulance arrives on scene. Respect physical distancing, wear your mask, allow Paramedics to don PPE and conduct necessary assessments for everyone’s safety.

Good evening from @hopitalmontfort and happy #ParamedicServicesWeek 😁

This year more than ever, paramedics have been putting themselves at risk to keep us safe and healthy. For that, and for always having our backs and showing incredible strength, we say thank you. This week and every week, know that we are so grateful. bit.ly/3v8zXdn

May 23-29 is Paramedic Services Week. These dedicated individuals answer the needs of the community, ensure our health, protection, and physical well-being every single day. Merci à @OttawaParamedic de votre dévouement, compétence et compassion. #SDSP

HAMILTON - Public health officials tagged paramedics to lead the in-home vaccination program because of their experience planning routes and sorting out the logistical headaches that come with something like trying to vaccinate people on a deadline. cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…

I want to thank all of the paramedics working 9-1-1 calls on the frontlines, doing COVID swabbing, giving shots on vaccine strike teams, saving thousands of LTC residents and for just being amazing at always doing more with less throughout #COVID 😁 Showin’ some love! ❤️

The third wave continues to create extremely serious conditions in Ontario’s hospitals, and this extraordinary situation requires an extraordinary response. We request patience and support from the public in the weeks ahead. Full statement: oha.com/Bulletins/OHA%… #onhealth

The community paramedicine program provides our seniors, their families, and caregivers peace of mind. #LongTermCare 👇🏻 thespec.com/news/hamilton-…

This is what the inside of an ambulance looks like. In rural Canada, paramedics and their patients are contained in close quarters for extended periods of time. Paramedics, of all people, need to be vaccinated yesterday!
