Looking for resources to support patients as elective surgeries resume—can’t find much. More important than ever to prioritize the integration of patients and families into healthcare teams. Any good resources out there?

Important results: Remember the 2 MO hairstylists who saw 140 clients over 8 days while infected with COVID but everyone had worn masks? Contact tracers found ZERO secondary infections. More evidence that masks work. cnn.com/2020/06/11/us/missou…

disappointment alone won’t be effective public policy.
need clearer communication of risks, more testing/tracing in tandem for more people and behavioural science to inform the way policies are rolled out.
design of public spaces as public health more important than ever.

Heartfelt thanks to all 90K+ @Medtronic employees who have inspired & encouraged me every day for 9 yrs. Leading MDT has indeed been an honor & a privilege. I know under @GeoffMartha’s leadership, we will reach new levels of performance, striving every day to fulfill our Mission.
In August, we announced @OmarIshrak would retire as CEO & become our Exec Chairman, while continuing as Board Chairman. During his final week as CEO, we're celebrating Omar’s immeasurable contributions to our company. Watch highlights from his journey. bit.ly/2VoL3va

There was a dead ash tree in our front yard. My wife, Tabitha, had an idea to turn it into a sculpture featuring books and animals. The sculptor was Josh Landry. He did it with a chainsaw.

How amazing is TeamUHN? @UHN put out a call to voluntarily work in a Long Term Care Home that’s struggling - got more than 70 volunteers - RNs, SWs, Admins, etc. - and 18 MDs. The Home didn’t really need any more docs so... they volunteered to serve as Personal Support Workers!
