#ACH teams are committed to comfort infants, children & youth to reduce pain, create pleasant memory, particularly during painful procedures. Thank you @kidsinpain for visiting #ACH as you spend time together to work on spreading #doesnthavetohurt across Canada for all children!
Always inspiring to spend time visiting Canada’s children’s hospitals! Today I had the honour of touring the beautiful space at Alberta Children’s Hospital with the @KidsInPain team. We saw first hand their commitment to comfort. #ItDoesntHaveToHurt

Heartfelt gratitude and pride for the Pediatric teams who are providing extraordinary care to acutely ill children. The Rotary Flames House team has provided outstanding care during this pediatric respiratory surge. We are happy they can return ‘home’. 💕#Pediatrics
All regular services will resume at Rotary Flames House from January 16, after respite care admissions were temporarily paused in early December to allow staff to support Alberta Children’s Hospital. 1/2

I would like to correct the misinformation about the decision to temporarily pause respite services at Rotary Flames House (RFH).This was a difficult decision, made during extraordinary times, to support care to the sickest of children at the Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH) 1/3

Palliative and end of life care have always been provided at ACH & RFH. At this time, expert care for palliative and end of life support will be provided @AlbertaChildrensHospital.
Replying to @AHS_media
All other services provided at the Rotary Flames House such as palliative and end of life care will continue and will be temporarily relocated to the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Grief support will also continue. 2/4

During #TruthAndReconciliation Day we will remember the children that were taken and did not come home. Today at #AlbertaChildrensHospital, we listened and honoured children in the healing garden.

From the superheroes inside #ACH to the ones outside helping clean the windows, thank you for making the day special! #patientexperience
The windows of Alberta Children’s Hospital are squeaky clean thanks to the superhero window washers who visited the hospital today on a mission to fight grime.

Don’t need a workout after a day’s work if you are an #environmentalservices worker. Thank you for the diligence of #evs to keep our hospitals clean.
I filmed Environmental Services Aide Lorna Mendoza cleaning a hospital room after a patient discharge - just watching is exhausting! Watch below to see ⬇️ Every week should be #EVSWeek! Thank you Lorna and her 600+ @UHN colleagues for keeping our hospitals clean and safe!
