A patient at our hospice once said to me “being here is the most loved I’ve felt my whole life”…she was 85.
Don’t wait until someone is dying for them to feel like they matter. Make them matter every day so that when they are dying, feeling loved isn’t a new experience.

I began providing palliative care in long-term care in 2016 — an experience that’s shaped my work ever since.
Honoured to receive the 2025 Dr. S. Lawrence Librach Award, recognizing physician leadership in palliative care.
Grateful to all who’ve shared this journey. 🙏🏽

ORIGINAL RESEARCH: We examined our palliative care consult team at a Toronto LTC home.
The results?
Improved advance care planning, fewer hospitalizations & care aligned with resident wishes.

Excited to be in Fredricton, New Brunswick tonight with @NPersaud5 as an invited keynote speaker for the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes [@NBANH_AFSNB] Annual Conference. So much interest amongst attendees in learning about the integral role of Specialist Palliative Care in Long-Term Care.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
On Truth and Reconciliation Day,let’s think about what lies beneath the orange shirt: Colonialism. Genocide. Racism. Trauma.
Today isn’t meant to feel comfortable. If you’re feeling comfortable, you’re doing it all wrong.
Today is more than “orange shirt day”. Wear it wisely.

Seeing the anger & hate displayed for 2SLGBTQI+ people recently has been very concerning & disappointing to see.
Why spend all this time harassing communities that are already marginalized?
Choose love...Not hate!
#NoSpaceForHate 🏳️🌈
Dr. Nadine Persaud retweeted
Research in Canada has consistently found that racially marginalized people are less likely to receive palliative care.
So how can we make palliative care more equitable?
Check out our new article in @CurrentOncology with @AdamsSeana & @NaheedD. 🙏🏽

"Kensington has hired a health navigator who is dedicated to supporting patients coming from shelters or the streets and will soon hire a peer worker who has lived through homelessness."
Bless you @NaheedD @NPersaud5 for the invaluable work you are doing. This is amazing!
