I was very proud to use the word “apotheosis” on today's podcast.  See if you can pick out the moment.  I say something like, “Palliative care for people experiencing homelessness is, in many ways, the apotheosis of great palliative care.”  And I believe that to be true.  When you think about the early concepts that shaped the field, you can see how palliative care for persons experiencing homelessness fits like a hand in a glove: total pain envisioned by Cicely Saunders, which even its earliest sketches included social suffering like loneliness; or Balfour Mount, who coined the term “palliative care,” lamenting the cruel irony of our care for the dying, and the desperate need to create programs to reach more people experiencing suffering. Today we talk with Naheed Dosani, a palliative care physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, and health justice activist. His story, which he shares on today's podcast, is remarkable.  Just out of fellowship, Naheed built a palliative care program for homeless persons  called the Palliative Education and Care for the Homeless (PEACH) Program.  This podcast is a complement to our prior podcast on aging and homelessness with Margot Kushel. Today we discuss: What is the best terminology? Homeless? Homelessness? Houseless? Marginally housed? What makes palliative care for people experiencing homelessness challenging? What makes it rewarding?  What is unique about the practice of palliative care for people experiencing homelessness? We discuss the principles of harm reduction, social determinants of health, and trauma informed care.  Major overlap with substance use disorder issues, which we have covered recently (and frequently) on this podcast. How are the health systems designed or not designed to meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness?  What are the equity issues at stake, and at risk of being cut, both in Canada and the US?   Many more links below.  And I had a blast playing Blinding Lights by that Toronto band The Weekend.

In 1959, the then-premier of Saskatchewan, Thomas Douglas envisioned a universal, pre-paid and publicly administered health care system – the first of its kind in North America. This plan for Saskatchewan prompted the federal government to initiate a national strategy to subsidize socialized medicine and support provinces in the shift to a universal system. He's recognized as “the father of Medicare,” and the one to thank for our universal healthcare system as we know it in Canada today.  But is this system in trouble?   This is not a conversation which is new to rabble radio.  In May, rabble contributor Doreen Nicoll sat down with Natalie Mehra, the executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition to talk about the privatization of long-term care homes in Ontario. Nicoll spoke to Sarah Jama, the co-founder of the Disability Justice Network of Ontario, later that month to talk about the importance of accessible health services in regard to those who are differently abled.  This week, we continue the conversation by sharing an interview from the first episode of the newest season of Courage My Friends.  In this interview, host Resh Budhu speaks to JP Hornick, the president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, and palliative care physician and health justice activist, Dr. Naheed Dosani. The three discuss the current crisis facing public healthcare in Ontario.  Courage My Friends is a podcast series presented by rabble.ca and the Tommy Douglas Institute at George Brown College, with the support of the Douglas Coldwell Layton Foundation.  Hosted on Needs No Introduction, a sister podcast to rabble radio, this season's Courage My Friends will focus on housing, education, erosion of public goods, just economics, the plight of migrant workers, and the climate crisis. Join our Off the Hill conversation next week!  Join panelists MP Leah Gazan, Georgina Lazore, and Breanne Lavallée-Heckert and co-hosts Robin Browne and Libby Davies as they deconstruct truth and reconciliation.  On Thursday, September 22 at 7:30pm eastern time, join our panel via Zoom and engage with our panelists as they discuss how Indigenous Peoples are exercising sovereignty every day, the tangible ways settlers can support Indigenous Peoples in their communities, and what action must be taken at the federal and provincial levels for meaningful change.

In the launch of our third season, JP Hornick, President of OPSEU/SEFPO and Dr. Naheed Dosani, Palliative Care Physician and Health Justice Activist, discuss the current crisis facing public healthcare in Ontario and the alarming turn toward the privatization of our healthcare systems by those prioritizing profit over patients. In speaking to the ways in which the healthcare crisis is both the result and rationale for erosion and greater privatization, JP Hornick says: “...you've got a kind of perfect storm that COVID maximized a crisis that was already existing. Decreased funding, unanticipated service costs, then you throw in on top of that supply-chain issues, particularly around PPE, but also, tools and resources. And then you've got an ongoing problem with recruitment and retention of staff. These are the new realities that hospitals have to tackle at the same time, trying to care for patients. And they're not allowed to carry deficits. So in the absence of additional funding, it means that the choices that hospitals regularly resort to are service cuts in order to try and balance budgets.But all this comes back to a very simple thing. It is a failure to adequately fund healthcare, both before and during the pandemic. And then the deterioration of the public system that results is used as an excuse in itself for increased privatization.” According to Dosani: “...often conversations like this can get tucked away in the category of health policy. This is about much more. This is about our way of life. This is about our way of being. This is really an attack on the common good that is so core and foundational to what it means to be Canadian…Public healthcare is a national treasure that makes us unique on the world stage. That really allows us to say to each other, I care about you. And I care about you so much that I will pay into a collective pool with you to care for you. Even if I don't get sick, I care for you. And that doesn't just emanate in the healthcare world and the healthcare sphere that affects the way we treat each other. We care for each other. We communicate with each other…And that is worth saving. That is worth protecting.” About today's guest:  Prior to being elected president of OPSEU/SEFPO (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), JP Hornick was chief steward for more than a decade within the College Faculty Division, representing instructors at Ontario's 24 public colleges. She chaired the College Faculty bargaining teams in 2017 and 2021-22.  JP grew up in a family of public service workers – educators, correctional workers and many more. She is a labour educator and previously served as the coordinator of the School of Labour at George Brown College. She has served as chair, treasurer and director on several community boards and has been on the front lines of activism to advance issues of equity, women's rights, LGBTTIQQ2S rights, anti-racism and decolonization.   JP was elected OPSEU/SEFPO President in April 2022 on a platform that includes strengthening union democracy, building bargaining power, ensuring financial responsibility, fostering an inclusive union culture, and deepening connections to the labour movement and community.  As a palliative care physician and health justice activist, Dr. Naheed Dosani is dedicated to advancing equitable access to healthcare for people experiencing structural vulnerabilities like poverty and homelessness. He founded the Palliative Education and Care for the Homeless (PEACH) Program at the Inner City Health Associates, serves as the Health Equity Lead at Kensington Health in downtown Toronto and provides palliative care at St. Michael's Hospital at Unity Health Toronto. He is also an assistant professor with the department of family and community medicine at the University of Toronto.  Dr. Dosani is the recipient of numerous awards including the Meritorious Service Cross for Humanitarianism from Canada's Governor General (2018), a humanitarian award from the Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians (2019) and the Early Career Leader award from the Canadian Medical Association (2020). In 2022 he received an Honorary Degree (Doctor of Laws) from Ontario Tech University.

Nadine Persaud and Dr. Amit Arya have a deep passion for seniors' care that extends beyond healthcare facilities with their community work, advocacy, education, and so much more. You'll be able to catch them presenting alongside their colleague Dr. Naheed Dosani at the 2022 Advantage Ontario Convention with a session titled “Adopting a Specialist Palliative Care Program in Your Home.” Again this year, HIROC and AdvantAge Ontario have come together to produce the Inspiring Impact podcast mini-series. This four-part series highlights several amazing presenters at the 2022 AdvantAge Ontario convention, and explores the innovation and passion at play in the long-term care sector. In today's episode, HIROC's Marc Aiello and Philip De Souza speak with Nadine and Dr. Arya from Kensington Health in Toronto to gain their perspective on the current state of palliative care in Ontario, what they'll be speaking about at the convention, and the future they envision for long-term care. Quotables: “I came to Kensington and felt that it's different. This doesn't feel like long-term care. This actually feels like a home. And it's these misconceptions that you hear in the media about what long-term care is. This isn't actually happening in many long-term care homes.” – NP “When you step into homes like Kensington, where beautiful moments are happening every day, we see such powerful moments, we learn stories of individuals that really make it an honour for us to care for them.” – NP “I think my experience has really taught me that we need a lot more recognition about the palliative care needs in long-term care, because this is just the norm. Complexity in acuity is rising and unfortunately, long-term care is under resourced and understaffed.” – AA “A second myth that we often encounter is that palliative care means giving up on other treatment. That is absolutely not true. Palliative care can and should be integrated along with other life prolonging treatments. It simply means that there's proper care for the whole person.” – AA Mentioned in this Episode: AdvantAge Ontario Kensington Health   Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on Twitter, and listen on iTunes.

Physician advocates never imagined being the targets of intimidation and death threats for supporting public health measures during the pandemic. But it's happening. Three doctors -- Nili Kaplan-Myrth, Naheed Dosani and Jennifer Kwan -- open up about the impact these violent threats have had on their wellness and the steps they've taken to protect themselves, their families, their staff and patients. “In my office, we added cameras indoors and outdoors. And we keep our door locked, which is sad because if we look through the door and don't recognize the patient or person standing on the porch, we don't open the door. And sometimes that is a patient. It's just not somebody we were expecting to arrive at that time.” -- Dr. Nili Kaplan-MyrthIn this episode, host Dr. Caroline Gérin-Lajoie holds a candid conversation with the three physicians about what it's like to live in fear of an attack, how peer support is helping them cope and what social media platforms and governments can do to help protect those who choose to speak out. Want to learn more about physician wellness?

Doctors on the frontlines have been hailed as heroes during the pandemic. But for those who speak out for public health measures such as vaccines and masks, the responses they've received are much less welcome. Canadian Medical Association President Dr. Katharine Smart, physician Dr. Naheed Dosani and family physician Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth discuss the threats doctors have received — and what governments and police must do to address them.

Guest: Dr. Naheed Dosani, Toronto-based palliative care physician and health justice activist Even as health care workers were being hailed by many as heroes for facing the deadly COVID-19 pandemic on the front line, many were also targets of online hate, racism and xenophobia. The digital harassment has seeped into real-life with anti-vaccination protests outside hospitals where there have been reports of violence and abuse. Dr. Naheed Dosani joins “This Matters” to talk about the nightmare that has been the last 18 months and what needs to happen next to protect them.

During the first year of his family medicine residency, Dr. Naheed Dosani experienced a devastating and life-changing event: one of his patients passed away. That patient, Terry, had lived on the streets for 15 years, had terminal cancer, and was repeatedly refused access to proper palliative care. It was too little too late. Deeply affected by Terry's loss, Dr. Dosani realized that while we all have equal access to healthcare in Canada, it doesn't mean we have equitable access. And so he pledged to inspire change. To complement REALTORS Care® Week 2021, we join Dr. Dosani to gain a front-line perspective of the inequities facing homeless, poor, and vulnerably-housed Canadians. We look at housing as a healthcare issue, how we can cure it through policy, and how we can tap into our own vulnerability to ensure no one has to fall through the cracks.

"We're there, we did it, palliative care exists. Now how are we going to keep it relevant to the hearts and minds of the people?"   This week on the podcast Julian talks to Palliative Care Doctor, and health visionary Naheed Dosani. Having experienced the death of one of his patient's who was homeless early on in his medical career he took a small break to consider deeply what he wanted to do in medicine. He then moved into Palliative care, specifically looking at how we are able to administer palliative care to the homeless community. In the conversation Naheed draws parallels between the treatment of racialised people in medicine and the treatment of homeless people. How medicine favours a euro-centric understanding of community which overlooks how communities can be built in ways that are unrecognised by healthcare, governments and many organisations.

Dr. Naheed Dosani is a palliative care physician and health justice activist. His turning point happened during his residency when one of his patients named Terry died. Terry was experiencing homelessness at the time and Naheed saw how the systems in place failed him. This experience led Naheed to found an organization called Palliative Education and Care for the Homeless (PEACH). PEACH is a mobile unit that provides healthcare for people living on the streets and in shelters. In this episode we talk about how PEACH came to be, how it has grown and created a model of care that cities around the world are replicating. Naheed also talks about life as a healthcare worker during the pandemic and how he's seeing the disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations.

This week, Nashwa sits down with Dr. Naheed Dosani, a palliative care physician and health justice activist who cares for homeless and vulnerably housed individuals. They speak about how Covid-19 is socially impacting different groups throughout Canada. Some topics they cover include vaccine hesitancy among some communities and how to combat it, and how Covid-19 has differentially impacted people throughout Canada based on social location. The two also discuss long-term care in Canada and current gaps in the framework. Dr. Dosani reminds us that it is indeed a privilege to #stayathome. They also discuss vaccine roll out. Despite precarious and dangerous working conditions for Canada's migrant workers, they have no guaranteed access to the vaccine; we hope listeners become signatories of and share the Vaccines For All campaign to ensure full access to the vaccine regardless of immigration status. This episode features a number of resources that complement the conversation—please check them out below. Mutual Aid & Community Support:This week, the City of Toronto has filed legal action against Khaleel Seivwright, the Toronto tiny shelter builder. It is vital people push back by writing to their city councillors and showing solidarity with Khaleel as the City attempts to charge him for implementing a temporary measure to keep people alive this winter. You can see a statement from Khaleel here. If you live in Toronto please call, email, or tweet your elected officials to drop the charges against Khaleel for his tiny shelters, stop gap measures to keep unhoused people alive this winter. Every year, unhoused people die in the city and nothing changes, things seem to get worse. Khaleel not only helped give people tiny homes, he demonstrated the ways the community steps up and cares for each other in times of rising austerity and organized abandonment by elected officials. We hope more Toronto citizens call for charges to be dropped and are in solidarity with those who are fighting for housing in the city. Additionally, here are further resources for communities within Toronto facing the results of increased austerity:RenovictionsTO is a volunteer-run organization that gives tenants the tools they need to organize and fight back against their landlords who are partaking in a renoviction. Keep Your Rent is another vital organization that offers Toronto residents a litany of resources to combat rent evictions.Evictions Ontario is yet another great resource for evictions—it also specifically offers a tracker to see where evictions are taking place across the province.Disability Justice Network of Ontario is a collective that aims to build a just and accessible Ontario through the dissemination of knowledge regarding issues that people with disabilities face—they promote change through legislative action; also, they support community members through a community caremongering program.Additional Resources:Readings and resources that complement this episode: Webinar: Panel on impact of changes to Medical Assistance in Dying on Black & Indigenous Communities an event supported by The Disability Justice Network of Ontario (DJNO), Inclusion Canada, Disabled Women's Network of Canada (DAWN Canada), Independent Living Canada, and the British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society (BCANDS).Marginalized communities concerned about changes to assisted-dying laws by Adrian GhobrialWe Are Not the Virus a podcast by Encampment Support Network Second wave for some, tsunami for others.

Throughout the pandemic, the quality and success of communications from government, public health officials, elected representatives, and others tasked with keeping us in the loop have been, let's say, inconsistent. There have been highs and there have been lows. Quality has varied across jurisdictions. And it shows. While approaches to good communication work may vary, there are some strategies and tactics that ought to be more common. For instance, meeting people where they are, rather than expecting them to come to you. That is precisely what this week's guest does.
