Remembering and recognizing residential school victims and survivors with my colleagues #IndigenousLivesMatter #EveryChildMatters

On medical colonialism: "Feelings in this pandemic present a rare opportunity to deeply reflect on the experience of Indigenous people...who were forced...generation after generation to surrender their children to the Indian Residential School System." thestar.com/opinion/contri…

“My hope for CP@clinic is that it will continue to fill the gap for low-income seniors living in social housing so they can lead more empowered and fulfilling lives,” Gina Agarwal | #BrighterWorld #pcrc @CPatclinic @MacHealthSci bit.ly/pcrcCPatclinic

A nice article about Health TAPESTRY in today's Hamilton Spectator - there is so much potential for community volunteers in supporting people's health. #HamOnt #primarycare thespec.com/news/hamilton-…

Very happy to be involved with Health TAPESTRY. Bringing community volunteers into patient's homes creates such meaning socially. Asking "What matters to you?" instead of "What's the matter with you?" (to paraphrase @DougOliver19) brings the focus to the person. #seniors

This looks like a really interesting program!

Nice feature on my mom & sister's tea business, Tea Amo, from The Silhouette thesil.ca/travelling-tea… #HamOnt

I'm happy to share that this paper I worked on about a Health TAPESTRY project that supported people with diabetes & hypertension (through volunteers and technology in their homes) is now open-access for anyone to be able to read rdcu.be/b9axL #diabetes

It's me under my creative writing name with my Marie Curie costume. Happy Halloween!

I participated in Indigenous Teaching Through Art at Woodland Cultural Centre - an intense but meaningful day where we began to more fully understand the trauma of residential school survivors (on site of a residential school), and learn about indigenous ways of knowing through art activities

Yesterday I mentioned McMaster Family Med's Indigenous Teaching Through Art, & now I've read about art's role in upholding colonialism while building what we now call Canada. "...a preview of the whole of settler colonialism, sordid, indelible, irreversible." nytimes.com/interactive/20…

As a Canadian...I acknowledge that white supremacy IS Canadian too. We've literally got protests happening in multiple cities across the country right now. Don't be confused...white supremacy is as Canadian as maple syrup.

So happy to hear about @ielectHamOnt. It's time for a change to better the lives of the entire city, and current council is not doing it. My councillor has held his seat almost as long as I've been alive! (since 1988). #HamOnt quickbitenews.com/article/hamilt…

Please share and sign onto this petition calling on the City of Hamilton to drop all charges against protestors who called for the defunding of the police and Palestinian liberation: nwmd.io/s/twitter/YRE5… #HamOnt

Yes! Hamilton Day is back. 90 years ago, the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce held the first Hamilton Day to boost the local economy & morale of the community during the Great Depression. This year, it's time to do it again. Hamilton Day is November 20th! Learn more at hamiltonday.ca

Fiona Kouyoumdjian is leading a project to develop a system to monitor health status and health care for people in Canadian federal prisons. Funded by Health Canada and PHAC, this project will help to support high quality health care for this under-served population. fammed.mcmaster.ca/project-brings…

This was an interesting project to do, looking back on two phases of implementing a new technology and our lessons learned in the process!

That’s me!
