This week is Medical Laboratory Week. I want to acknowledge and thank the medical laboratory professionals across Ontario, who are a vital part of our health care system, especially during the #COVID19 pandemic. #MedLabThx #LabISEssential #LabWeekON

Last week we received government endorsement and a $5M planning grant to support the planning for a new hospital and the redevelopment of our existing Davis Drive campus. We've put together a highlight video of this exciting announcement, watch it here youtu.be/uxvHvUGHv7w

To support Ontario hospitals, our government is providing an additional $827M to hospitals across the province, representing a 4% increase from last year. This will ensure hospitals receive a minimum 2% increase to their operating budgets to help them better meet patient needs.

It was a pleasure to join Doug Ford at Scarborough Health Network (SHN) to announce a more than $1B investment in several major redevelopment projects. This will help meet the health care needs of the growing Scarborough community and put an end to hallway health care. news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

It’s an exciting day as we launch Health Connect Ontario and 811. This new modern service offers more choice and convenience for Ontarians seeking care and information, whether they have a primary care provider or not.

Today I joined Peter Bethlenfalvy to announce $2.5M to expand & build a new, modernized hospital at M.S. Multi Specialty Hospital - Pithapuram's Uxbridge site. This will make it easier for families to access high-quality care as we continue to build a stronger, more resilient health system. news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

Today I joined Peter Bethlenfalvy & Lorne Coe to announce our investment of $1B more to further expand home care. This investment will ensure Ontarians can receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes & alleviate pressure on our hospitals. news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

With the $548.5M announced last fall, this additional $1B means more than $1.5B to help Ontarians receive the care they need in the comfort of their own home, all while alleviating pressure on hospitals. nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/c…

This week is National Immunization Awareness Week. Whether it's for shingles, HPV or flu, #VaccinesWork and play a vital role in public health. Routine vaccinations are offered free of charge. Talk to your doctor or local public health unit. ontario.ca/vaccines #NIAW2022

This is one more way we are building a stronger, more resilient health care system for all Ontarians, no matter where they live. With this investment, patients and families in Timmins will be able to access care that meets their unique needs for years to come, close to home.

Our government is #BuildingOntario. Now let’s #getitdone.

Today is Doctors’ Day in Canada. Our government is incredibly thankful for the critical work Ontario's doctors do every day, providing care to Ontarians across our province. The work of our doctors is vital to building a better-connected, patient-centred health care system.

On #FirstRespondersDay, we honour and celebrate Ontario’s first responders. These heroic men and women go above and beyond to be there in our time of need. Thank you to all first responders for your bravery and dedication to protecting the health and safety of Ontarians.

It was great to see so many smiling faces yesterday afternoon. No one knows #Newmarket— #Aurora like Dawn Gallagher Murphy. She has been a strong advocate for families in the community from day one and will be an incredible MPP. Let’s #GetItDone!
