A poignant reminder of the learning we all need and how our #vulnerability can lead to innovation, creativity & change.

“Our environments create more disability than there needs to be”

In a recent survey, nearly 90% of respondents believe that a new workforce plan is needed to meet health care needs. cma.ca/news/nearly-90…
