There's something we need to get off our chest…

January 7, 2022 - Our teams of healthcare professionals continue to show up, day after day even after nearly two years of pandemic, with one goal in mind : provide care. Much needed, essential care. They do so with the utmost standards of safety and quality, with you, for you. We cannot thank them enough.

Lately, we noticed a trend in the wrong direction: patients and families being increasingly rude to our staff. Rarely before have we seen this level of verbal and physical aggression.

We know being in hospital can be a stressful experience, difficult moments. We know there is sometimes a longer wait than we would like it to be. We know months and months of pandemic and restrictions are wearing hard on everyone, and sometimes we take this out on those trying to help us most.

But there is never a valid reason to disrespect a healthcare worker. We need them to get through this pandemic, and they need your understanding and support.
