It’s so hard to hear the stories, the truths but listening is critical to learn and take action. Thank you Sam Crowfoot for sharing the truths and helping us to do better in healthcare #i42021

Hard truth from Sam Crowfoot :we are willing to spend millions of dollars on foster care but zero dollars for preventive care. Facing the truth of the current day residential schools.

After a tough meeting recently, one of my friends told me “Don’t let them intimidate you into changing who you are. Just keep being you.” Sharing this for anyone else who needs to hear it today. Just keep being you.

Had such an invigorating first day at #i42021 and pumped for Day 2! Starting with someone who’s greatly inspired me in my career @HelenBevanTweet

All organizations need a Chief Heart Officer! As a self proclaimed #loveledleader this session from Claude Silver at #i42021 is explaining my dream job and what our healthcare systems need! Lead with love and focus on our people Sheena Howard, BScN, MA, RN, Psychotherapist

Amazing news!!! Got my 11 year old registered. We are truly blessed to have this opportunity to protect our children, families and communities

When asked why we can’t have vaccine clinics in schools the UCP dog whistle about the danger of kids being vaccinated away from parents - clear implication of without consent. It’s absurd, we already do vaccinations in schools, just more UCP support for disinformation. #abelg

Got my son booked for his covid shot today! The best part was how happy and excited he was when I told him at dinner. He’s 11. He jumped up and started playing air guitar with excitement. He understands what being vaccinated means for him, his family and our community!

Our team just cared for an elder who couldn't afford to see a dentist. He was in pain, lost a lot of weight & eventually developed a life-threatening dental infection. Tell me again how Canada claims to have “universal” healthcare, but still doesn’t provide dental care for all?

In toxic cultures, being a workaholic is normalized and sacrificing sleep is glorified. The best way to get ahead is to burn out. In healthy cultures, quality of life is expected and having a life is celebrated. You're encouraged to put your well-being above your work.

I'll never forget Dr. Yiu's honesty about the struggling health system when politicians were pretending everything was ok. She made tough decisions, handled the abuse hurled her way with resolve, and strove for what was best for Albertans & HCWs. #ThankYiu #covid19ab

Gut wrenching news about Dr. Verna Yiu (she/her). My heart is aching. Thank you for navigating us through the pandemic, for showing love, compassion and for standing up for what matters. We will fight for Albertans and we thank you for being our fearless leader. #ThankYiu

When I think back over my 40 year career, the best, most impactful times were when I had a boss who understood me & who believed in me. Maybe as leaders, we should all aspire to be that boss that others remember. Sketchnote by AI Literacy (AI&Beyond) based on a tweet by Vala Afshar

Unpopular opinion: #Medicine trains us to care more about the opinions of our superiors & peers than the experiences of patients...or ourselves. We really need to re-center medicine on what matters. #humanity #connection #love

My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

As a Canadian: I won’t for one second think that what’s happening in the United States with #RoeVsWade can’t happen here…We must be vigilant. Take nothing for granted. Act like our basic human rights depend on it…Because they do.

Let me be clear. AHS is full of kind people. There is nothing but good will in that institution. Management worked their asses off during the pandemic to turn contradictory opinion based policy from government into life saving delivery of care. Often at great personal sacrifice.

Feeling inspired going into Day 2 of #i42022. Day 1 spoke to my soul and continued to ignite my passion for putting patients first as we look to innovate in healthcare. Challenging our thinking and acknowledging our burnout in healthcare is key. Let’s learn! Change! Improve!
