Is our healthcare a matter of life or death? We all know that our Health matters most, and our health care is in a crisis. Lineups have become multi-year waits, millions do not have access to Family doctors, we have a massive talent shortage, and many who work in the system are burning out or leaving it altogether.
My guest is a positive change-maker who offers us a path forward if we listen and act as patients and voters. Dr. Alika Lafontaine is a recognized expert on health systems and health policy, an award-winning physician and the first Indigenous doctor to become the president of the Canadian Medical Association and listed in Medical Post’s 50 Most Powerful Doctors.
Dr. Lafontaine shares why the health care sector must lean on each other, tap into the deep knowledge that we have of the problems, and why we must reshape our system by putting the patient first.
A powerful and positive look at our health care going forward. Enjoy! Tony
