BC has elected its first legislature where a majority of MLAs are women.

A milestone worth celebrating: 49 women are set to serve in the #BCLeg 43rd Parliament, marking the first time in BC's history that more women than men will take their seat in the Legislative Chamber (also a first for a Canadian provincial legislature) #WomensHistoryMonth #BCpoli

B.C.'s new payment model for family doctors is a game-changer! Over 820 new doctors are practicing in B.C. and provinces like Alberta, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia are following suit with their own models: ow.ly/nWly50TJnvz #Healthcare #FamilyMedicine #BCFamilyDocs #BCHealth

Patients are at the centre of everything that we do as family doctors. That's why I am asking my provincial election candidates how they will be prioritizing patient care if elected.

@picardonhealth on the future of medicine at @FMWCanada: If there’s one thing Canada does better than anywhere else, it’s studying the failings of our health systems. We don’t have a healthcare crisis in Canada; we have an implementation crisis. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #fmwc100

Together with BC's free contraception plan, HRT coverage is a great step forward for improving the health of women.

B.C. signs national pharmacare deal with Ottawa, will help province fund hormone replacement therapy and diabetes expenses, @ashleyjoannou reports: theglobeandmail.com/canada/british…



Did you know that Ontario and Nova Scotia provide government funding for physician health/dental benefits? Let's make sure BC's healthcare system enables doctors to care for their patients and their families. @BCFamilyDoctors @BCCFP
