"Family doctors aren’t just a critical link for childhood vaccination — they’re the entry point into the health-care system. Those without one are often left to make health decisions on their own." — @namshine.bsky.social

Nearly 40% of Ontarians we surveyed have delayed or avoided care because they’ve lost confidence in the system. As @dominiknowakmd.bsky.social says, access is essential in health care—without it, patients wait until it’s an emergency. We need real investments to stabilize the system. #onpoli

There’s a lot being said this election, but health care can’t be ignored. A strong health-care system is essential for a strong economy—yet millions are struggling to get the care they need. Send the message that health care matters: stopthehealthcrisis.ca

Ontario’s doctors are asking all Party Leaders to prioritize patient care. 2.5M Ontarians lack a family doctor—soon 4M. EDs are closing due to doctor shortages. Wait times are among the worst globally.

As 2024 draws to a close, I could not be more grateful to physician leaders and health champions uniting in shared purpose across the province. Together, let’s continue to boldly advocate for the more kind, caring, careful health system we all deserve. #onhealth #onpoli

The organization that represents Ontario’s doctors is raising concerns over a proposed change to provincial long-term-care legislation that it says could put patient safety at risk.

‘Patients at risk.’ Doctors raise alarm over new long-term-care role for nurse practitioners
Proposed change has been a “long-time coming,” says Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario CEO Doris Grinspun. "Let’s move on and do what’s best for residents and their families.”

Social factors like food security & affordability contribute to 80% of health. As a family doc, I see that link every day I care for patients. That is why Toronto physician leaders chose to support @DailyBreadTO to elevate the critical connection between food security & health. #onhealth #onpoli

Millions of Ontarians don’t have access to a family doctor — this is a crisis. The solution isn’t replacing family doctors, but building stronger, integrated teams that work together for patients. Patients deserve collaboration, not shortcuts. Watch @dominiknowakmd.bsky.social explain ⬇️
