- The impact of Covid measures on patient care and patient experience
- The stress and exhaustion that she and her co- workers are experiencing
- Medical professionals that are leaving the province and/or the profession
- The treatment of nursing staff by AHS and the provincial government
Thank You to Cherise for a very important message. |
