Changing Lives. Shaping Tomorrow

National Nursing Week is May 6-12, 2024, and this year’s theme is:
Changing Lives. Shaping Tomorrow.
The theme recognizes the contributions of the tremendous impact that nurses have on individuals, communities, and the future of health care.
Changing Lives:
Patient impact: Nurses play a crucial role in directly impacting the lives of patients. Through their care, compassion and expertise, they contribute to positive changes in the health and well-being of individuals.
Advocacy: Nurses often advocate for their patients, ensuring they receive the best possible care and support. This advocacy can bring about transformative changes in people’s lives.
Shaping Tomorrow:
Innovation: Nurses are at the forefront of health-care innovation, contributing to advancements in treatments, technologies and patient care practices. Their commitment to learning and adapting helps shape the future of health care.
Educational influence: Nurses, as educators, have a significant impact on shaping the next generation of health-care professionals. Their knowledge and mentorship influence the future of the nursing profession.
We hope you embrace it as you show your support for Canada’s Nurses

#Unshakeable

Be #Unshakeable for Parkinson Awareness Month.
Around the world, April is known as Parkinson Awareness Month.
We all want to live life to the fullest, but for people with PD it might take a little more to get there. A little more drive, a little more optimism, and a little more support – and that’s the essence of the Unshakeable Spirit.
For the entire month of April, the #Unshakeable campaign shines a light on the people and the stories of the PD community. We will feature the stories and faces that are meant to inspire, educate and help people know they are not alone in their Parkinson’s journey. All those impacted by PD, including people living with the disease, their care partners, medical professionals, and others are welcomed to participate.
#Unshakeable is a belief that as a community, we will rise up against Parkinson disease. We are inspired by the amazing individuals with PD and their families who participate in hundreds of clinical trails and health and wellness programs every day – both quietly and boldly.

#DYK Rosacea affects more than 3 million Canadians

Research shows the facial redness and other noticeable signs of rosacea can significantly impact the emotional and social well-being of sufferers.
Experts are not sure what causes rosacea. They know that something irritates the skin, but rosacea doesn’t seem to be an infection caused by bacteria. It tends to affect people who have fair skin or blush easily, and it seems to run in families.
While there is no cure, rosacea can be controlled and the effects minimized.
Get the facts. Gain control. Feel better.
