FYI, #Ontario LIF, #Ontarians overall, please sign/share widely HomeCare Ontario's e-petition tell #DougFord #Conservatives:"'Ontario Seniors Need More Home Care': 'Where do you want to get care as you age?' It only takes two minutes to send a letter to the Premier, the Health Minister, and your MPP to ensure the health care you want can be delivered in your home, keeping you living independently and out of hospital. It’s time to open the door to more home care. We have all seen the headlines of Emergency Department closures, loved ones stuck in hospital, and the ever-expanding wait list for long-term care beds. Behind these stories are patients and families struggling to get the care they need in a health care system under strain. And these pressures are about to get worse as the number of seniors in Ontario is set to increase by 650,000 in just the next five years! It is clear that Ontario must act now before the health care system begins to crumble under this growing pressure. More support for both home care and the seniors who utilize family-funded care will make sure it is there for you. Home care is the answer to helping get seniors the care they need today and ensure Ontario’s health care system is ready to deliver for them tomorrow. Help us call for more home care.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Join us in celebrating all the beautiful and wonderful trans and gender-diverse folks in the endometriosis community and beyond. It’s a day to celebrate trans joy and the contributions of trans and gender-diverse people while also raising awareness of the discrimination, violence, and hate that the trans community continues to encounter. Amid an increasingly transphobic world, we wholeheartedly reaffirm our commitment to creating safer spaces, both within and beyond the endometriosis community, for our trans and gender-diverse endo siblings. We recognize that trans and gender-diverse people with endo continue to be intentionally and unintentionally excluded and ignored in many healthcare settings, community hubs, and other endometriosis spaces. We encourage people with endo, healthcare providers, and endo allies to be more inclusive of everyone with endometriosis. #TDOV #TransDayOfVisibility #TransgenderDayOfVisibility #Endometriosis #InclusiveHealthcare

Living rurally or regionally brings different challenges than living in metropolitan areas. Access to services, social and community connection and diverse opportunities can all come with additional barriers for those of us living outside of a major city. This Pride Month, we’re looking at these and other issues through an LGBTIQA+ lens. QLIFE has a number of guides for health and social practitioners when working with the LGBTIQA+ community. QLIFE's rural and regional guide for health practitioners points out that LGBTQIA+ people living in rural areas are at a higher risk of social isolation and can struggle to access important services making it harder to maintain health and wellbeing. Luckily we also have local organisations like LINE Wangaratta improving safety, educating community and fostering social connection in the region. Through our own community engagement during the Long Story Short project, we've heard that LGBTIQA+ people living rurally and regionally want healthcare professionals and other service providers that take the time to understand their unique experiences - we encourage anyone working in a rural or regional setting to seek out resources and understand the importance of engaging in allyship with the LGBTIQA+ community and tailoring support through your practice.

👋 Meet J.J.! 💼 Position: Vice President ☑️ Started at MaxCare: 2017 🎀 Fun Fact: Being a dad of three daughters is a crash course in empathy, patience, and Salon Sundays. But the most important lesson I've learned is how to be a strong, supportive male role model, teaching them to walk beside me. I want them to know they can achieve anything their heart desires, and that I will always be their biggest cheerleader. Here's to raising kind, courageous, and awesome women! 💙 Favorite part about working at MaxCare: I like working at MaxCare because of our mission to provide better pharmacy benefits to local self-insured employers by doing it the right way. This means full transparency of data and practices and passing through fair reimbursement from the employer to the pharmacy in order to empower patients to live better healthier lives. Some say it takes a village ... at MaxCare it really does take the entire team. Each MaxCare team member contributes a unique and valuable skill set. We could not serve the community without this team.

Medical deserts are spreading and have reached the heart of major cities. The expansion of these deserts has been fueled by disputes between payers and providers, financial hurdles, political conflicts, and a variety of other challenges. These issues have led to new forms of medical deserts, their continued spread, and in some instances, creation of individual deserts due to insufficient training and confusion among frontline staff. The patient story linked below highlights the systemic issue in front of us. It describes a patient who, in seeking legally prescribed medication, was denied by several pharmacy employees. Please read the full story to understand what this patient faced - not just the headlines. This incident underscores the underlying problems that contribute to medical desert expansion. We need all parties to take accountability and action – whether they are a health system, a health plan, a retailer, or another stakeholder in this very complex ecosystem. My colleague Judith Weader and I recently published two reports on #medicaldeserts. One report specifically addresses #IndividualMedicalDeserts, highlighting situations where the impact of reduced access to care is particularly dire. For more insights, I've shared a link to a blog post introducing these reports in the comments section below. We need an oasis from medical deserts. It is imperative that #HealthInsurers, #HealthSystems, #HealthcareProviders, #Pharma, #Retailers, and #Regulators unite to address this issue. Ignoring patients' lack of access to care is equivalent to accepting defeat—an outcome that patients literally cannot live with.

🚨 We’re at a terrible crossroads in the US #healthcare system. It’s inexcusable that a patient should be denied prescribed treatment, and this is what contributes to #MedicalDeserts - a horrible problem that’s spreading unchecked across the country. I urge folks from around the healthcare ecosystem (#HealthInsurers, #HealthcareProviders, #Pharma companies, #Regulators, and especially #Retailers) to: 1) Read Arielle Trzcinski’s post in full 2) Read the story she linked (also in full) 3) Read our research on medical deserts and #IndividualMedicalDeserts 4) Then reach out to me and Arielle to discuss ways your org can be part of the solution instead of a contributor to the problem #HealthcareCX #CustomerExperience #CX #HCX
