ππππΏMore thank yous - to all who came to celebrate Jarol, to Greg for conducting an in-depth author interview and to U of R Press for partnering with us. Enjoy these highlights of yesterday's launch of Dr. Boan's The Medicine Chest: A Physician's Journey Towards Reconciliation!π
ππThe Interview - Why write about the relationship between Indigenous & non-Indigenous communities in health care using an emotional tone? Dr. Boan began writing academically, but realized it's the emotional connection that make stories resonate with readers. #TheMedicineChest π
πππA powerful takeaway for Dr. Boan during her research for the book and for we who read it is the lesson of the importance of listening to the other side and of being humble. To purchase THE MEDICINE CHEST, all about #reconciliation in healthcare: adifferentbooklist.com/?q=h.tviewer&uβ¦π

πππThe success of a launch is all about the energy, Marjorie noted. And see, ππΏwe all know that it's the family, community, and their gestures of support that make the energy. All the best, Marjorie, as you establish a centre to support those in situations of domestic abuse!π
