High hopes for team based care. It will only work if FD’s are involved from the ground up in building these teams. Attempts to reform primary care in the past in NL have excluded FD’s and have predictably failed. #nlpoli

Blended capitation will hopefully help stabilize our family medicine community infrastructure. It will unfortunately not fix issues in towns like GFW where FD’s are needed in so many other places #nlpoli

So much emotion watching this. Personally, it was and still is, very hard to come to terms with the decision to leave FM. So much good work done by my fellow FD’s. The system will never truly work until we fix FM cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

With emphasis on Healthcare, Government of Newfoundland & Labrador Health and Community Services NL HAVE to find ways to reduce the admin burden on Family Doctors, the backbone of our system. Make a Family Medicine career in NL attractive, or at least tolerable. Work/Life balance matters. Plus, it will lead to better patient care!

Remember, this is the same guy that was repeatedly assuring the people of NL that all was just fine in our Healthcare, ahead of and better than most other provinces, and there was NO crisis. Fast forward to now. Must have been given incorrect info. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

HealthHub in GFW gets 150+ appointment requests per day from people across CentralNL who have no access to in-person care. Some people drive >3 hours to be seen for primary care. Line-up's are not always visable like Mundy Pond but they exist everywhere. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Provocative segment, inside Canada’s family doctor crisis featuring Queen’s ⁦Dr Mike Green⁩. This is not😰universal health care. The only way this gets better is with investment in primary care teams. +++ROI in $ & in relief of suffering. Please🙏 cbc.ca/player/play/21…

In CentralNL, we are in a system w/o primary care. The impact of this on the health of our population can’t be understated. I am gobsmacked every single day by what I see. Gone are the days of early intervention for preventable problems. We’re in full blown crisis mode daily

Dear Town of Botwood Town of Grand Falls-Windsor, Register for the 43rd Annual Terry Fox RUN-Sunday September 17/23 run.terryfox.ca/29042 K-Rock Grand Falls/Windsor Scott Simms Barry Manuel Bernard Davis #DearTerry #curecancer

And an exemplary job you have done sir. A top notch Chief and great ambassador for Grand Falls-Windsor! Town of Grand Falls-Windsor

Holly Russell is proudly representing Grand Falls-Windsor this weekend as the only player from our town to play in the Female U21 National Championship in St. John’s. She is 18 years old and has been playing for Team NL for 10 years. Good luck Holly, from everyone here in GFW!⚾️

Etienne van der Linde Ken Milne MD Trevor Jain CAEP @SRPCanada alan drummond The majority of these facilities are in Central NL, where primary care providers are few and far between and specialists are dealing with problems months and even years in the making. #healthcarecrisis

Today’s @CentralHealthNL NL Health Services email is brought to you by the letter T … temporary… but wait! Is it temporary if it’s happening more times than not, for more than 12mo 🤔 DSM-5 criteria would disagree. #HealthcareCrisis Who is owning this liability?

CentralNL has been disproportionately affected by ER closures. These closures reverberate through the entire system as ER’s in GFW and Gander try to deal with the overflow with minimal increased resources. If the hub ER’s fail what’s next? #nlpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

Congratulations to Holly Russell from Grand Falls-Windsor Minor for winning the Top Batter Award for the 2023 21U Women's Baseball Invitational! Well done Holly! 👏

Hey decision makers! The healthcare system is crumbling around you. “Temporary” emergency room closures aren’t so temporary. Primary care is becoming non existent. Specialist waits are ballooning. Anything you can help us with? Front line is waiting. Patients are waiting.

Congrats to Councillor Amy Coady on being acclaimed as President of the MNL Board of Directors! Councillor Coady has been a strong representative of our town while advocating on behalf of over 250 municipalities across NL for stronger & more effective local government.

Can’t wait!! Congrats Jake!!

After watching Trump’s media exchanges lately I have a suggestion for our Canadian friend Daniel Dale. Hire more staff!!

Trump is weak. He idolizes and fears Putin. Wants to be seen on the same level. Craves the supreme power. Putin is the worst of humanity and plays Trump like Fiddle. Few ego strokes = Job Done. Pathetic! Trump cares absolutely nothing of Ukraine or its people. #StandWithUkraine
