George Costanza - famous quote - in reference to the Liberals today ‘ just remember, it is not a lie if you believe it. ‘

The story broke 16 years ago , those that know , know. ATCON has now outlasted-   MASH-12 years   Don Messer-13 years   Bonanza-14 years   Gumby-14 years

We have seen significant growth since launching eVisitNB, providing New Brunswickers with another option to access health care from anywhere in the province, whether at home, work, or on the go. The service has received more than 426,000 virtual visits so far. While eVisitNB is a valuable resource, residents should always use their primary care provider as their first option, if possible.

Thanks Shawn.

Fast, patient-first health care is the critical priority for everyone in New Brunswick’s healthcare system. There is work to be done but through smart investments in new staff, innovation, collaboration, and specialized clinics we will continue putting patients first to deliver quality health care. gnb.ca/HealthPlan

It was my pleasure to join Health Minister @BruceFitchMLA and colleagues this morning for the @NBHRF Healthy Aging presentations and panel, moderated by CEO Damon Goodwin. This is one of the key pillars of our health plan, with 22.5% of our population over 65. That’s why we’ve

This AM during QP I was doing my best to answer a question in French. Liberal MLA Marco Leblanc laughed at my attempt, disappointed not to be encouraged to speak in my second language especially in the Legislature. No NB should be shamed for trying.

Percy Mockler was one of the people who helped recruit me into the like of politics. Thanks for all you have done for NB @SenMockler

I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the Right Hon. Brian Mulroney, Canada's 18th prime minister. I had the chance to meet and speak the Mr Mulroney a number of times over the years and he was always polite and very interesting. RIP

“The Atlantic provinces are being recognized for their visionary Atlantic Physician Registry. Launched on May 1, 2023, this groundbreaking initiative allows physicians to practice in all four Atlantic provinces without having to register in each. The registry replaces a cumbersome by-province temporary licence regime that charged average registration fees of approximately $2,000 per year, with a one-stop streamlined structure that charges a nominal $500.00 annual fee. This transformative approach makes healthcare more financially viable for practitioners and enhances the accessibility and quality of care for residents across the Atlantic provinces.” ————————— « Les provinces de l’Atlantique ont reçu le prix Ciseaux d’or pour le lancement du Registre des médecins de l’Atlantique le 1er mai 2023. Les médecins inscrits à ce registre sans précédent peuvent exercer dans n’importe quelle des quatre provinces de l’Atlantique. La cotisation annuelle de 500 $ associée au Registre remplace le système précédent, qui exigeait des frais de suppléance ou de permis temporaire de 2 000 $ en moyenne pour chacune des provinces. Cette approche réduit les coûts pour les médecins qui souhaitent exercer hors de leur province et améliore l’accessibilité et la qualité des soins offerts aux résidents des provinces de l’Atlantique. »

@pcnbca Very good news!

“This is a significant, concrete step forward in improving access to care for the residents of Grand Manan. Today’s announcement is the culmination of substantial work by many partners. I want to thank everyone for their patience as work was happening behind the scenes to make this service a reality.” Health Minister @BruceFitchMLA ---------------- « Il s’agit d’une étape importante et concrète dans l’amélioration de l’accès aux soins pour les résidents de Grand Manan. L’annonce d’aujourd’hui est l’aboutissement d’un travail considérable effectué par de nombreux partenaires. Je tiens à remercier tout le monde pour sa patience pendant que des travaux étaient effectués en coulisse pour faire de ce service une réalité. » Le ministre de la Santé, Bruce Fitch

I’m proud our government is supporting the Food Depot Alimentaire in Moncton to help serve New Brunswickers in need. To continue the support the Department of Health has provided in past years, we have committed $2 million to assist with purchasing healthy food for distribution to 65 food banks and community kitchens across the province. www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en… ---------------- Je suis fier de l’appui fourni par notre gouvernement à Food Dépôt Alimentaire, situé à Moncton, afin d’aider les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick dans le besoin.
