Letter: We must remember to take good care of those who take care of us

By Letter to the Editor on May 21, 2024.

Dear editor,

I was listening to a town hall meeting about Refocusing Healthcare and heard Patient Focused Care as one of the benefits.

I have listened to many Patient Focused Care presentations over the years since January 2009 as an AHS volunteer. I am not sure whether or not the new reconfiguring of our health-care system will be better than the last one many years ago, that will have to be seen and there is nothing we can do now to stop it.

However I think we need to take better care of our health care workers and family doctors in order to ensure Patient Focused Care. We need to make sure that all our health care workers, the nurses, the laundry workers, cleaners, lab technicians, EMS, etc., and family doctors all have a life/work balance.

If we take care of the ones that take care of us then we will have Patient Focused Care.
