What's most important to people when it comes to primary care? Relationships People want a doctor who knows them as a person and considers all the factors affecting their health Our latest #OurCare blog Healthy Debate with Maggie Keresteci 🇨🇦 🧵 healthydebate.ca/2023/03/topic/…


There are over 200,000 orphan patients in Ottawa. Why? A day in the life of a family doctor cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… Omar Dabaghi-Pacheco Amanda Pfeffer - CBC CBC In Town and Out CBC News As It Happens White Coat Black Art Hallie Cotnam Lyndsay Morrison CTVMorningLiveOttawa Kristy Cameron

Terrific summary by Michael Kolber et al Canadian Family Physician on the value of family medicine “For every additional 10 family MDs per 100,000 population, there are 15 fewer deaths, 40 fewer hospitalizations & an average increase in life expectancy of 52 days” cfp.ca/content/69/4/2….


More than 44K people in the Durham region are without a family doctor & as MatthewSchurterMD points out, “with all the early retirements from burnout and from administrative burden...unfortunately, the problem will probably get worse before it gets better.” durhamregion.com/news/estimated…



While progress has been made, cracks in the health-care system exposed by the #pandemic remain. The crisis in primary care, physician burnout and lack of home and community care are Ontario Medical Association three immediate priorities. ow.ly/obXb50OBbte #Onhealth
