As we head into the weekend, I wanted to reshare this terrific series from Toronto Life Magazine that tells the story of the primary care crisis through portraits of people struggling to get care and the doctors struggling to provide it. https://lnkd.in/g9cfCwjh In my own interview with Toronto Life, I talked about how access to primary care is even worse for some groups, including people who are Indigenous, people who are Black and people new to Canada. https://lnkd.in/gzUcqrfX I tell the story of a recent patient who came from Uganda as a refugee, the kind of care he needed and the struggles that many refugees like him face in finding that care--from racism and discrimination to the paperwork that comes with the type of health coverage they have. I'm grateful to him for allowing me to share his journey. As part of OurCare, we had conversations with many underserved groups.
