Rebecca Shields and her team at CMHA York and South Simcoe have strong throughlines in place for their 2025-2028 Strategic Plan. A key driver of this plan is the update of their mission and values, and their new vision which is all about a cure for mental illness. This disruptive and exciting thought stems from CHMA's belief that true recovery is possible when institutions globally work together towards this goal.   What does this vision mean for their organization? “It means that we begin more and more to look at how do we partner in research, how do we ensure that we're adopting promising, evidence-based best practices, how are we adopting better data analytics and decision making,” explains Rebecca. In this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Rebecca also shares insight into York Region's first Mental Health Community Care Centre. She speaks passionately about how healthcare organizations can work together to move the needle around mental health and addiction issues, and the importance of equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility and reconciliation strategies. Quotables: “The field of mental illness because of stigma has been left behind, in research, investment, in care; and so bringing people along is helping them believe and turning that belief into action that things can actually improve.” “Mental illness can be treated, people can recover. And that I think we can all get behind.” “And that collective vision is, what do we need to do to ensure that somebody's first mental health crisis is their last.” “I just want to say a huge gratitude to all of our partners, and Ontario Health and the government, for stepping up and supporting this work. This is about system change, and although we're leading it, everybody is committed to a collective vision and we can't do it without going back and believing in the possible.” “All of us have to lean in right now as we see an erosion of, and people trying to dismantle the respect and identity of each and every person and their own personal identities.” “We know that there's a tie between racism, oppression and mental health. It is a stressor. It is morally disruptive, you know absolutely that kind of ongoing trauma of racism, discrimination and oppression actually impacts somebody's wellbeing.” “I've always thought back about Dr. Ian Dawe who used to say, all of us as healthcare providers, we might be able to treat the symptoms and treat mental illness, but mental health is a home, a job, and a friend.” “The value of each person, and the perspective and what they bring actually will be part of what makes communities resilient and allows for the recovery and support of people for all of us, and our kids, our families and our seniors.” “I feel that governance is incredibly important. Good governance really supports an organization to achieve great things.” “We are trying to solve wicked problems together – and good governance and leadership are part of that.” Mentioned in this Episode: ·       CHMA York and South Simcoe ·       CAMH ·       Dr. Ian Dawe ·       Health Common Solutions Lab (Sinai Health Systems) ·       Human Services Planning Board of York Region ·       IABC Communicator of the Year Award ·       Ontario Health Mental Health and Addictions Centre of Excellence ·       Ontario Health ·       Share Scale Repeat: A Podcast by HIROC ·       Southlake Health Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Andrew Williams and his team at HPHA are steadfast towards innovating to provide exceptional care for Canadians. One of the many efforts towards achieving this is through the completion of the Cancer and Medical Care Clinic and Pharmacy at Stratford General Hospital. This initiative is a strong testament to the fact that facilities have a positive impact on the quality of care provided, and the relationship between hospitals and their communities are key. “We would not have been able to do this had the community not stepped forward and donated their hard-earned money towards this project. It's fantastic for care, it means an awful lot to the patients who are receiving care now and to those who will need to access the unit moving forward,” explains Andrew when speaking to the new clinic and the importance of strong community relations. In this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Andrew shares invaluable advice on being a strong leader, engaging board members, tapping into community support to leverage initiatives, and planting the seed to create strong partnerships and connections.  Quotables: “Our vision is innovating for exceptional health, and I think it really speaks to where we see healthcare today and the role that it plays in not only the work that we do in the hospital sector, but also the broader health and wellness of the community.” - AW “The most important criteria for any successful partnership is a high level of trust where you're confident the interest of all is equally viewed by the participants.” - AW “Facilities and contemporary facilities have a really positive impact on the quality of care you're able to provide, both through the lens of the patient and the staff member.” - AW “There's no such thing as not changing, you either proactively change and go a certain direction or you fall behind. Everyday you're not adapting yourself, growing yourself, or focusing on where the organization is going, you're slipping a little behind.” - AW “It's a privilege to work in the healthcare space and I always believe that with privilege comes an accountability to make a difference.” - AW “Bloom where you're planted, in other words make sure you're focusing all your energy and effort in doing the absolute best you can in whatever role you're in.” - AW “The most important thing you can do to have a successful career track is excel in the role you're in in the moment, develop yourself, and make sure you're focusing on what I believe to be the really important attributes to leadership: being accountable for your actions, making sure your actions are founded in integrity, and make sure you're in tune to those you represent.” - AW “Those who know me know that I'm a strong proponent of integration and working together, there's a lot of different organizations in the healthcare space but we all support the same population. We all have a role and that's important, but the more we can work together the better it will be for those we serve.” - AW Mentioned in this Episode: ·       Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance ·       Stratford General Hospital ·       Ontario Hospital Association ·       Healthcare Collaborative Benefits ·       London Health Sciences Centre Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Health is driven by more than what happens in a clinic or the operating room, it is driven by long-standing system decisions. One of the ways Dr. Andrew Boozary and the UHN are impacting health equity is through the inception of Dunn House, Canada's first hospital-led supportive housing initiative. This unique model couples health and social care by improving health outcomes for unhoused Torontonians, embedding concreate solutions to UHN's most vulnerable patients. “This brings a wholistic approach to healthcare, that it's not just about access to physicians and nurses, that there's really a more integrated way to think about health, and Dunn House is real action on that kind of thinking and philosophy.” In this exciting episode of Healthcare Change Makers, learn more about UHN's social medicine program, the impact of Dunn house, and the value of partnership with community organizations. And stay tuned until the end to hear Dr. Boozary's take on medical TV dramas and which musician helps give him an energy boost.   Quotables: “How do we recenter humanity in healthcare for those of us who work in the system, for families, for caregivers, and most ultimately for patients.” “Health and so much protection in society are system choices or policy choices, and it's not about individual failures but how resources, protection, power, and privilege, really play roles in worse health outcomes.” “The idea that some lives matter more than others is the fundamental issue or injustice that we face in the world.” “Whatever it is that grips you, that you lose sleep over, that makes your blood boil, whatever it is that you feel this sense of injustice, to not lose that feeling and energy, and pursue it however you can.” “If the University Health Network is really serious (which they are) about advancing health and not being the university healthcare network, but truly about heath, we need to be able to take different approaches in how we reach people… who need it most.” “Housing and health are inextricably linked.” “This is what I think is really the secret sauce, is the partnership and the willingness to think differently about the solution – that the band-aid fixes are not going to work. That there is a moral distress that becomes imposed on health workers seeing the same revolving door… and how can we start embedding, building concrete solutions for people.” “I think it's really important to shout out the incredible work of community health centres that have been leading social medicine work for 50 years or more.” “Preventing some of these feelings of despair or burnout is understanding this is part of the work, and how do you hold and create space for some of it, because trying to deny it or push it out or discount it has its own downsides as well.” “We don't need a magic wand, we need real investment in people, and that we can see magical outcomes if we actually dedicate that focus.” Mentioned in this Episode: ·       HIROC's 2025 Conference, Save the Date ·       University Health Network (UHN) ·       Dr. Kevin Smith ·       UHN's Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine ·       UHN's Dunn House ·       Dr. Jeff Turnbull ·       Wendy Muckle ·       Dr. Paul Farmer ·       Emmanuelle Gattuso ·       City of Toronto ·       Fred Victor ·       The United Way ·       Angela Robertson, Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre ·       Camden Coalition ·       Kendrick Lamar ·       The Knick (tv drama) ·       The Pitt (tv drama) Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

(Note: This episode was recorded on November 7, 2024) The results of the 2024 elections are in: Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States, and we are all but certain to have a Republican trifecta at the federal level. Admittedly, there's a lot we don't know about what healthcare will look like under a second Trump administration—a lot will depend on who is appointed to key leadership positions overseeing federal health agencies and Congressional committees. But while we wait for those appointments, what can we anticipate based on President-elect Trump's first term, campaign, and the Republican platform? This week, hosts Rachel (Rae) Woods and Abby Burns invite Advisory Board experts Natalie Trebes and Ben Palmer to break down the implications of a second Trump term on the healthcare industry. They unpack how power dynamics have shifted since the first administration, and what we're likely to see on issues like the ACA, enhanced subsidies, Medicaid, drug pricing, abortion, and more.

Gail Hunt's team at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) in Ontario describe her as being good at breaking down complicated things from a strategic perspective – a quality that helps lead the organization into the next decade. RVH recently announced a new 10-year strategic plan which has been carefully curated to ensure staff and the larger community feel connected, equipped, and excited long term. “With the population growth in this area of the province, what do we need to be able to meet the needs of the future, meet the patient expectations, and have the team members here be able to fill all the roles”, says Gail when explaining one of the main priorities with their new strategic plan.

Where is that big move? So, the team here can feel connected.” - GH “We felt we needed to embed our values in actions that people can relate to. Do great things, inspire trust, be kind, the things we could imagine ourselves doing and that's how we make our choices.” - GH “Really connecting with a couple layers away from you on a regular basis gives you that feedback about if the culture is building in the direction I'm aiming for and what my expectations are, do people feel they can speak up about things, do they feel connected to the vision?” - GH “Whether you're introverted or extroverted you bring your own strengths and gifts to every role you're in. Instead of trying to be something you're not, own what you are and let the team know that's what you're like and where they have to help lift you up.” - GH “I have certain underlying values about really supporting other organizations in the community.

Congresswoman Terri Sewell says she's honored to have called John Lewis a colleague, friend and mentor. Lewis, one of the most important civil rights leaders in American history, died in 2020. But his legacy is carried on by health equity champions like Sewell, who has taken up the mantle on legislation that aims to address health disparities in our nation. “The John Lewis Equity in Medicare and Medicaid Treatment Act — it really is an opportunity to reduce health disparities and to evaluate payment models of Medicare and Medicaid that will take social determinants of health into account,” Sewell says. “I really do believe that health disparities is a civil rights issue, and the opportunity to carry on a bill that [John Lewis] championed, now that he's gone, is a real highlight of my career.” Now in her seventh term representing Alabama's 7th Congressional District, Rep. Terri Sewell is one of the first women elected to Congress from Alabama — and the first Black woman to ever serve in the Alabama Congressional delegation.  She speaks with Health Disparities podcast host Bill Finerfrock about how her personal experiences have led her to the work she's doing today in Congress and also shares these words of encouragement to those working to advance health equity in their communities: “Stay in the trenches, continue to mobilize and organize around these issues and continue to fight… and advocate for what we know is a civil rights issue. It is a human rights issue, health care, and so we can be frustrated, we can be downright mad, but what we can't do is give up.” A note to our listeners: Movement Is Life's upcoming annual summit brings together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to discuss healthy equity challenges and actionable solutions.  This year's theme is: "Health Equity: Solutions from Healthcare Leaders.” The summit will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, from November 14 to 15.

Higher education plays a vital role in preparing and developing healthcare leaders. Dr Giuseppina Pagnotta explains why to Jim Cagliostro.     Episode Introduction Giuseppina shares her inspiration for going back to her doctorate during Covid, the importance of giving back to the world and how higher education can support career aspirations in nursing and healthcare. She also explains the role of connection, and why time is one of the most precious gifts leaders can offer.          Show Topics   Higher education can open doors  Paying it forward: sharing your knowledge Offering inspiration and guidance through mentoring Self-regulation and building connection  Leadership tip: Giving the gift of time      04:00 Higher education can open doors Giuseppina encouraged people to understand how further education can support your career aspirations.  ‘'And I tell people now, young people or anyone that's getting their nursing degree, whether it be from an associate or a baccalaureate program, to go on for the MSN. It's really important in today's world to get that advanced degree because you can keep it in your back pocket, and then it will allow you to have doors opened for different opportunities in your facility or in education or even as an entrepreneur. There are so many nurse entrepreneurs out now. So I attained my MSN in 2020, and our graduation was outside because of COVID, so we ended up having the graduation outside in August of 2020. And then, during that COVID spring, I realized, "What will I do with the MSN? Will it get me where I want to go?" So on that note, I evaluated, "What would I do with it? What doors will it open?" You always have to consistently evaluate, and I even tell my children, "What doors will your degree open? Where will jobs proliferate? Where can you get employment? What do you want to do with that degree, and what is the propensity of getting a job?" So then, you have to evaluate what employment opportunities does that degree align with.''   08:44 Paying it forward: sharing your knowledge Dr Pagnotta explained why sharing skills and knowledge can help others.  ‘'I think that if you have a skill, knowledge, skill, abilities, whatever you have, and I don't want to keep them for myself. I am on this earth for this many years and if I can share my knowledge and share my path with you, then you can take it forward and go take it somewhere. I realized in the past few months that it's not about me. It's about what tools I can give to you and what tools you could run with. And I don't even have to hear from you ever again as a teacher-student, but just to know that I impart with you with the skills to learn and to grow and to get excited about learning, that's enough for me. And also, with recent times and my recent role in the Monmouth County School Nurses Association, I realized that I'm giving my leadership skills to others, and I'm teaching them school nursing leadership and nursing leadership, and they're rolling with it. It makes me so happy to see others flourish with the skills that I'm giving them and the excitement and fostering that relationship and creating an excitement in them in the role in nursing leadership.   14:06 Offering inspiration and guidance through mentoring Giuseppina said it's important for leaders to examine their motivation behind mentoring.  ‘'I think it's dual fold. It takes a lot of work, but yet it's so rewarding. For myself, I started out as an American Nurses Association mentor. I think it was two years ago, and I was matched with a mentee across the U.S., and we would meet, I think, once every two months for 15 minutes and talk and then give each other... I would give strategies as to what her aspirations were or their aspirations, and we would continue the conversation there. It was interesting because I tend to want to inspire you. I want to inspire you in your path, and I want to look up possibilities for you. If you want to go back to college, I will look up colleges for you and look up different programs that you may like to attend in your area or that have the specific degree or certification program where you would like to go….And also, it's important for you to examine why you would like to be a mentor and what purpose does it serve for you. For me, it just serves the purpose of guiding. I love to guide colleagues into their path, colleagues, students, friends. I really get excited and happy about doing that. It gives me joy, lots of joy to do that, to help others and discover what their potential is because sometimes you don't know your true potential. And I have had several colleagues that have shown me my true potential.‘'   18:49 Self-regulation and building connection  Dr Pagnotta highlighted two key elements to support academic success. ‘'…. as a student and as a nurse already advancing in your degree, even if you are in an inpatient unit with a BSN, and you would like to be on a committee, shared governance committee, there are a lot of opportunities. In academia, I think initially, the administration and the chairs and your professors guide you, but then at a certain point, you kind of take over, and it's all you because you yourself, especially in a DNP program, you have to be self-regulated and to regulate your time and to really understand, "I have this much time today. What can I get through?" So it's important as a doctoral student for me to write down what I need to attain and also the deadlines. When is everything due and when am I going to revise? So definitely in that path. In addition, I think that it's really important for academia to set up paths to have the students connect, especially in an online platform. MSN programs are online. DNP programs are online. They have to have a coffee place online, its own place for students to connect to each other. So the nerd that I am, and friends, colleagues can say this that I've had in class with, I would email all of my classmates in the beginning of the semester, say, "Hi, my name is Gius. Nice to meet you all. If you want to connect and chat about the course, here's my number." And so I've met amazing people throughout my time as an MSN and DNP and actually some classmates that I can call friends today.''   22:03 Leadership tip: Giving the gift of time  Giuseppina said empathy, guidance and giving time through mentoring is highly rewarding for leaders.  ‘'I think the connection with family and friends and colleagues is very important. And also, to have that empathy and caring aspect about yourself, I think that is a big part. I tend to be very empathetic and very caring, even with students and colleagues to guide them in the right direction even if something is... You lost a lot of points on a paper, or something happened, and I will tell them how to get most of the points next time or how to prepare so that it doesn't happen again. I'm that type of person. And also, with mentorship, with my role, with inspiring others, you give yourself, and you give others your gift of time because your time is so important. And you give a gift to others, and you give them a gift of your time because your time is really precious. I think by me giving the gift of time to others, it's rewarding. And you had said nurses burn out…. It's difficult, and you're always giving, giving. But when you are a mentor, you're also getting that feedback from somebody else that's saying, "Thank you. Thank you for your time. I appreciate talking to you. You inspire me." And I think that's important.''   Connect with Lisa Miller on LinkedIn Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Connect with Dr. Giuseppina Pagnotta on LinkedIn    Check out SpendMend      You'll also hear:    Gaining a doctorate during Covid: ‘'There's nowhere to go. There's nothing to do… So instead of watching Netflix and binge-watching and discovering new shows out there, I decided to go back to my doctorate. So then, I was immersed in leadership classes, mentorship, and population health, epidemiology. And so, I never looked back.''   Giving more back to the world: ‘'Do you like your current position? Do you feel like you can give more back to the world? And if you feel like you can give more back to the world in your particular profession, well then, you have to consider ways to give back, either it's with a certification or teaching CPR or teaching others or entrepreneur or patenting something.''   Why face-to-face connection matters: ‘'I think we're realizing the importance of that face-to-face connection. It's great to have the digital ability, but to meet in a coffee shop, to meet someone, go for a walk, and to really get to know someone, I think that's huge.''
