Enjoy this introductory video as I seek an OMA board role. Accessible, comprehensive, and person-focused health care is attainable in hospitals, in LTC, and in community. But ONLY if government spending creates publicly funded system change. The pandemic laid bare the problems of the past and galvanized my focus. I represent solutions over complaints and teams in primary care offices over spending on bricks and mortar. Real change takes experience, not tweeting policy or spending for political expediency. The current trajectory of Health Care delivery is not acceptable. Physicians and all health care professionals are deeply committed to finding solutions. The OMA must push governments and politicians to move Health Care delivery into the community. Voting instructions to OMA members via email. Due to the ranked balloting system, please consider placing my candidacy as one of your top two (2) votes! Elections runs January 8, to noon February 2, 2024. https://lnkd.in/gEb5mYvt

If you look up the definition of a rural health leader, Steve Tenhouse, FACHE would be the name you read. In my book, the OG.

I am enjoying the habit of boosting examples of leadership in action. Perhaps I should use it as a feature in the upcoming newsletter- Words can influence minds but actions build the future. Cheers to a brighter future in cancer care. Breaking News! Great news for Irvine & Santa Ana CA residents and oncology professionals. A new facility is coming to the southern CA region, bringing care options closer to home. Residents, healthcare leaders, and market stats all suggest that this is exactly what the area needs. For those living in the area, this means better options for care nearer to you, without having to drive over an hour for the type of doctor you need. Bringing top-notch care options closer to residents is critical to access and changes how many will experience treatment in the area. It means less cost to patients who travel out of town and pay for overnight stays. It means actually getting the care you deserve for those who are not able to overcome geographical and financial barriers to care in their region. For those working in rad-onc or planning to, and are from the area, you are getting a brand new facility as an option for your career. You can reconsider having to move away from your relatives to get the best job in your field. A trusted name and the best minds in the field are now in your backyard. This will drive oncology professionals to the region for better cost of living, housing, and research opportunities. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing care options closer to the southern CA region in Irvine. Let's celebrate better options for care and career opportunities for oncology workers. #Irvine #SantaAna #healthcare #oncology #careeropportunities #newfacility #healthcaretechnicalstaffing

Cultivating a #PatientPartnership mindset by developing relationships with each other. It matters that we take the time to do this.

I am a candidate in the 2024 OMA election for the Board of Directors. Voting runs from January 8 to February 2; instructions will be sent to OMA members via email. I feel strongly that the direction of the OMA must change to support its members first and always. This is the most effective way the OMA can support the rebuilding of our health care system - by ensuring a that physicians' work is sustainable physically, psychologically and financially. Physicians cannot solve all the system's problems, and where we have made suggestions, these have largely gone unheeded. Our members and our patients experience each and every day the failings of a system neglected by a directionless bureaucracy at the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health. Politicizing of the health care system has resulted in it being treated like a soccer ball in a never-ending game of election and re-election. The results are predictable: low morale, staffing crises, career choices that shun comprehensive longitudinal health care. The OMA needs to bring these truths to bear on the media, politicians and bureaucrats. Years of appeasement and helpful suggestions have only resulted in increased suffering by OMA members. Governance transformation at the OMA (which I helped lead) was meant to ensure that members' voices are heard and acted on. I know how this is supposed to work. Let's make it happen by being clear in our mission, transparent to our members, the media and the public, and accountable to the selfless doctors that spend as much time patching up the system as they do patching up their patients. Here is my official video statement:
