Happy Canada Day, everyone. It's possible to love something very much and also want it to be better than it was, and is. Sometimes that's true of what—and who—we love the most.

I’m celebrating Canada Day by making a commitment to ongoing re-education about our country’s history. The only way I’ll be able to be an effective ally.

Family physicians monitoring COVID patients at home reduces demand on hospitals and allows patients to recover safely in a familiar environment. This pathway, developed by an IP team led by @DeeMangin is now the standard model of care across Ontario.

Important announcement: All students, faculty, staff and visitors who wish to access a McMaster campus/facility will be required to provide proof of vaccination. More info in today’s letter from the President and Provost. ow.ly/2Mz450FS0aQ

I’ve been enrolled in this diploma program since January and am really enjoying it. The instructors are knowledgeable, the courses are very practical and I’m already applying concepts to my work in family medicine.

An amazing example of the power of volunteers rising to the challenge in a time of crisis. 👏👏👏

Many non-Indigenous people will be acknowledging Orange Shirt Day for the first time this year. So I wanted to share a few important points / thoughts:

Let’s keep showing up every day 🧡

Very proud to have been part of this amazing project team, which enabled hundreds of COVID patients to recover safely at home, thanks to ongoing monitoring by their primary care teams. Read more about the project here: bit.ly/2YceRjc

Congratulations @DeeMangin & McMaster FHT for creating a program that allowed for at-home disease monitoring to reduce reliance on hospital services #COVIDatHome #BrightLights #AFHTO2021

Today we’re launching TRAction – a Toolkit for Research in Action. This toolkit will support faculty with resources to build and grow their primary care research practice. bit.ly/TRAction #PCRC

Very touching to hear about the practical ways that volunteers helped connect clients to things they needed - anywhere from attending tests/appointments to making new friends in their community. Truly patient-centred care.

A real team effort that would not have been possible without the collaboration with the Red Cross, WECCC, and the 6 participating FHTs.

TEACHERS hi it’s Hal DM me your virtual link and a time Tuesday or Wednesday that you have a remote class & I will jump on and give you and the kids a Bodybreak! Inspired by Gerry Dee
