“Physician Assistants can be a lifeline to patients and doctors alike” -former @CMA_Docs President Katharine Smart

No #Ontario hospital ED should be closing its doors to patients. #PhysicianAssistants are already playing a big part in helping with the HHR shortage, and can do more. @SylviaJonesMPP @fordnation are you ready to take the next step? It’s time to invest in PAs and restructure.
It’s time for #Ontario to invest in #PhysicianAssistants. Our current infrastructure is fragile and not able to support a healthy future for Ontarians. Let’s not repeat the past and prepare for the future together. @SylviaJonesMPP #onpoli #CDNhealth
With #hospitals in #Ontario on the brink of collapse, remember..
⏱️95% of MDs working w/ PAs said it increased their efficiency
⌛️PAs in EDs can reduce wait times by 1.9x
🗓️PAs reduce wait times for surgery by up to 14 wks
🏥PAs in LTC decrease hospital admission rates by 38%

Most Canadians respect Terry Fox and War Memorials. Most Canadians don’t steal from food banks. Most Canadians would never wave a swastika and if they saw one, they would take it down. And most Canadians are vaccinated. I consider those people to be the true patriots.

I am sickened to see protesters dance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and desecrate the National War Memorial. Generations of Canadians have fought and died for our rights, including free speech, but not this. Those involved should hang their heads in shame.

Celebrating all the wonderful Ontario #PhysicianAssistants today, on #NationalPhysicianAssistantDay!
Earlier this year, the ON government passed enabling legislation that will see CPSO provide regulatory oversight for PAs. They will join us as a new class of registrant.
