This is what “collapse” looks like.
When you need care it isn’t there.

“When the pandemic struck, the death toll was far higher in [private] long-term care facilities than it was in non-profit or publicly run long-term care centres. Who in their right mind thinks that more private care is going to have better outcomes?” #cdnhealth #cdnpoli #LTC

Ran into a volunteer today who's applying to medical school - another bright young person drawn to healthcare.
🇨🇦 needs a national #CDNhealth HR strategy to help us retain the people we have and to ensure the talent pipeline is large enough to fill our future needs.
