25/03/2024Virtual EventLongwoods: Dignity in Care
Monday, March 25, 2024 11 – 11:45 a.m. EST
Join Dr. Harvey Chochinov and Nancy Lefebre as they discuss and offer their insights on the struggles of life limiting experiences and understanding end-of-life care for patients, care providers and medical professionals.
Patients and their caregivers require medical care, physical care and emotional care as they enter the later stages of life. "...this can be as subtle as being kept waiting for an appointment, as insidious as being required to wear a plastic hospital bracelet that tracks them according to an institutional number or code, as jarring as being referred to as an aberrant body part - the proverbial "GI bleed in room two" or "breast tumor in room three." Dignity in Care aims to provide readers with what they need to know about the humanity of care and the tone of care; and how they can engage in these facets of care in a thoughtful and meaningful way that will satisfy their patients' needs to be seen and appreciated as "whole persons." ". Dignity in Care: The Human Side of Medicine, 2022
28/03/2024Toronto, OntarioEmpire Club of Canada: Ontario Politics in Focus: Assessing Premier Doug Ford’s Mandate, Leadership Shifts, and Future Prospects
Thursday, March 28, 2024, 5:30 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. EST
As we near the halfway point of Premier Doug Ford’s second mandate, it’s time for a stock take on his achievements and challenges – and what it means for the Spring sitting of the Ontario legislature.
With the election of Bonnie Crombie as the Leader of the Ontario Liberal Party in December, the main protagonists of the next Ontario election are now set. Ms. Crombie is a brand name in the vote rich GTA, and while she will not have a seat in the legislature, she will be a new force for Doug Ford to reckon with, while also setting up a “progressive primary” with Marit Stiles’ NDP.
- How has Marit Stiles fared in her first year on the job as Leader of the Official Opposition?
- Will the Ford government need to recalibrate policy to respond to the recent changes in political leadership?
- Will Bonnie Crombie’s election finally dig the Ontario Liberals out of their multi-year funk?
Our political experts will debate these hot topics – and more. Please join us on March 28th for a fantastic evening discussion on Ontario politics.
