Canada has rights and freedoms and free healthcare and gun control that keeps 40,000 people a year from being mowed down by bullets. Canada remains a democracy filled with opportunity and its citizens are welcomed around the world. In other words … Canada is the American dream. #Canada #democracy #rights #freedom #healthcare #america #MAGA #nra #gunviolence #news

"I dream of a future where masks are normalized and I can access healthcare spaces without the increased risk of breathing in a new issue to contend with. Advocating for myself as a patient is challenging enough as it is." #Covid19 #Healthcare #DisabilityJustice #Accessibility #MaskUp https://thesicktimes.org/2026/04/24/we-need-masks-in-healthcare-now/

"And the fact that miscarriages are more common for Black women isn’t comforting, it’s terrifying. It’s emblematic of larger societal issues — including a lack of adequate medical research — that Black people are disproportionately faced with this devastating situation." https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-women-miscarriage-too-common #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #miscarriages #BlackMastodon #WomensHealth

Il Tempo: Sanità, Giuliano (UGL) “Favorevoli al nuovo ruolo dei medici di famiglia. Fondamentale loro apporto per rendere operative le Case di Comunità” La UGL Salute esprime parere favorevole sulle linee guida della riforma della medicina territoriale presentate dal Ministro Schillaci, che prevedono un nuovo assetto per i medici di famiglia tra convenzione riformata e dipendenza volontaria per rendere operative le Case di Comunità. Il Segretario Nazionale della UGL Salute, Gianluca Giuliano, ha dichiarato: “Accogliamo positivamente questa riforma perché non c'è più tempo da perdere. Il rischio concreto è quello di vedere le Case di Comunità restare scatole vuote senza personale necessario. Il passaggio a una remunerazione legata a obiettivi di salute e all'obbligo di ore nelle nuove strutture è una sfida necessaria per rafforzare l'assistenza primaria e la continuità territoriale, ma dobbiamo assicurarci che questo modello sia realmente fattibile e sostenibile. È fondamentale valorizzare la figura del medico di base per rendere nuovamente attrattiva questa professione verso i giovani, colmando così le gravi carenze organiche, mancano ad oggi oltre 5.700 unità, che affliggono il territorio e garantendo che le Case di Comunità non siano solo un obiettivo organizzativo, ma il luogo reale della presa in carico dei cittadini e dei malati cronici”. La UGL Salute continuerà a vigilare affinché il decreto garantisca la piena operatività del sistema e la tutela di tutti i professionisti coinvolti. Healthcare, Giuliano (UGL) “Supportive of the new role of general practitioners. Their contribution is fundamental to making Community Centers operational.” UGL Salute expresses a favorable opinion on the guidelines for the reform of territorial medicine presented by Minister Schillaci, which provide for a new structure for family doctors between reformed contract healthcare and voluntary dependence to make Community Houses operational. The National Secretary of UGL Salute, Gianluca Giuliano, stated: “We welcome this reform positively because there is no more time to lose. The concrete risk is to see Community Houses remain empty without the necessary staff. The transition to a remuneration linked to health objectives and the obligation of hours in the new structures is a necessary challenge to strengthen primary care and territorial continuity, but we must ensure that this model is truly feasible and sustainable. It is fundamental to value the role of the family doctor to make this profession attractive again to young people, thus filling the serious personnel shortages, there are currently more than 5,700 units, which afflict the territory and guaranteeing that Community Houses are not only an organizational objective but the real place of care for citizens and chronic patients.” UGL Salute will continue to monitor to ensure that the decree guarantees the full operationality of the system and the protection of all professionals involved. #Healthcare #Giuliano #CommunityCenters #UGLSalute #Schillaci #CommunityHouses #GianlucaGiuliano https://www.iltempo.it/general/2026/04/24/news/sanita-giuliano-ugl-favorevoli-al-nuovo-ruolo-dei-medici-di-famiglia-fondamentale-loro-apporto-per-rendere-operative-le-47411974/

@VegaHarmonia@fedi.rubedo.gay I was just flabberghasted amidst the dark prospect on "AIslop" in Healthcare… Damn I'm glad I don't work for [REDACTED] which are now part of [REDACTED] which shove all that "#AI" garbage whilst the CEO co-funds the NSAfD... #DEpol #Healthcare #rant #venting

"Olivo eventually refused to serve as an ad hoc interpreter when her mom needed help communicating at the gynecologist's office. 'You do need to have somebody that knows what they are talking about — that have that terminology, and that they are able to really be your interpreter versus be your daughter,' Olivo said." https://www.npr.org/2026/04/16/nx-s1-5780035/rural-hospital-colorado-medical-translators #healthcare #language #LanguageAccess #translators #interpreters #families

They counted on a rural dialysis unit to keep them alive. Then it closed A hospital in Nebraska shut down the only dialysis unit for miles, upending lives. That's despite a new federal program that gave the state more than $200 million to improve rural health care access. 🔗 https://www.npr.org/2026/04/15/nx-s1-5785126/rural-health-dialysis-clinic-funding #News #USNews #NPR #Healthcare

"Artificial intelligence has arrived in the field of mental health. Large health systems and independent therapists alike have begun to adopt different AI tools to manage the delivery of mental health treatment. The speed of the adoption — alongside disturbing incidents of individuals using general-use AI chatbots with catastrophic consequences — is causing some concern among practitioners and researchers." https://www.npr.org/2026/04/07/nx-s1-5771707/mental-health-care-workforce-artificial-intelligence-ai #healthcare #MentalHealth #AI #telehealth #HealthIT
