Less than 20 percent of kids receive timely #MentalHealthcare - a crisis exacerbated by inadequate funding and access to multidisciplinary teams. Canadian Paediatric Society says changes to health training, systems & policy are required to meet the needs of our youth: ow.ly/ZcQv50OcsXQ

🚨New Research Puts a Multi-Billion Price Tag on Failure to Improve Children’s Health in Canada!

At McMaster Children's Hospital, about 2,300 pediatric patients are waiting for surgery, with two-thirds already outside the recommended window. Hospital president Bruce Squires said those figures are “the tip of the iceberg.” bit.ly/46CpgmG


Huuuuuge congratulations to childrenshealthcoalition who brought a systems approach to right-sizing children’s healthcare in Ontario. A well considered action plan with clear priorities across the continuum of care inspired a historic investment for ON kids. 🔥 #MakeKidsCount #WeCANforKids


“Two of every $3 in the health-care system is spent on chronic disease management, and when we can put kids on the path to lifelong health … we prevent or delay the onset of chronic disease, we reduce the need for health-care services later.” Alex Munter CHEO Ottawa #MakeKidsCount

"Hundreds of thousands of kids every year will benefit. Putting kids on the path to lifelong health is a down payment for their future and for all our futures.” Alex Munter CHEO Ottawa #MakeKidsCount

"Yes, we need physical capacity, but mostly we need service capacity. We need more healthcare workers on the job, in our clinics, in our hospitals, in our treatment centres and mental health agencies. Not just more, not just bigger, but better." Alex Munter CHEO Ottawa #MakeKidsCount


This is fantastic news for McMaster Children's Hospital to help right-size pediatric care and improve outcomes for families in Hamilton! 👏 #MakeKidsCount


This transformational investment will go a long way in addressing waitlists and improving access to quality care in the children's health sector. The future is bright! #MakeKidsCount McMaster Children's Hospital
