@janephilpott.bsky.social great discussion on @CBC today. I have read several of these books and am seeing a change in the discussions we are having about #life and #death and #illness and #health. Also your #HealthforAll book needs to be read by every politician at ever level!
Happy New Year!🥳 Here’s hoping for a 2025 full of grace and peace.❤️
"This was the best thing Jimmy Carter ever did" www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/h...
Jimmy Carter’s Quiet but Monumental Work in Global Health (Gift Article)
In his decades as a former president, he and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, helped bring lifesaving treatments and sanitation to poor people around the world.

When I think of President Jimmy Carter I think above all of his profound sense of service, of faith, and of personal decency.
Gonna be a lot written about Jimmy Carter in the coming days, but for my money his public health work outshines anything else he or any other person in the political sphere did in my lifetime. That’s the story.
Best wishes for Christmas joy, from our family to yours!🎄🧑🎄

Kingston ‘health homes’ put Jane Philpott’s vision of primary care to the test
A former federal health minister wants family medicine to look more like public schools, with catchment areas to reach people where they live. In Ontario, a lucky few can now try it out for themselves

I’m really glad to see Jane Philpott in this Ontario role! Health systems with strong primary care (including family doctors) achieve better health outcomes at lower costs.

Can Jane Philpott fix Ontario health care?
All the party leaders wanted her. The Conservative premier won. Pressure's on.
