Shared Health is looking for outside help to address the severe physician shortage in Manitoba.
The organization that co-ordinates health care in Manitoba is seeking as many as three external firms to recruit an additional 150 family physicians to the province: up to 50 each in Winnipeg; the northern health region and Churchill; and the rest of rural Manitoba.
“Evolving population health needs, systemic issues, changes in how new medical graduates want to practice, and an increasing proportion of the physician workforce approaching retirement have all contributed to a need to increase the number of family physicians practicing in Manitoba,”…

Minnesota startup creates disposable hijab for Muslim health care workers, patients
ST. PAUL, Minnesota — After spending months working in clinics and hospitals across the U.S. at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Yasmin Samatar and Firaoli Adam had grown tired of having to constantly change their hijabs throughout the day.

Sauna Blanket FAQ – Maria Mind Body Health
Saunas have been a popular way to relax and detoxify for centuries, but not everyone has access to one. Sauna blankets offer a convenient and affordable way to enjoy many of the same benefits of a traditional sauna in the comfort of your own home.

Bill 15: Quebec health-care reform plan draws backlash from stakeholders
Quebec’s sweeping new health-care plan—Bills 15—drew a mixed reaction following its announcement Wednesday.
Several health-care professionals say it’s a massive undertaking—especially for a health minister who initially said he didn’t want reform.
“Big reforms tend to have a very destabilizing effect, and we need a clear implementation plan. [We] can’t be told, ‘do this and figure it out,'” said Natalie Stake-Doucet, past president of the Quebec Nurses Association.
