“We are actively working with Island Health to brainstorm recruitment and retention solutions,” Wickstrom said." I suggest they start by dropping the "vaxx" mandates and hiring back all the nurses they let go last fall! Secondly, it has been a well-known fact for many years, that many people rush to emergency over issues they could deal with at home using very simple home remedies. This makes life difficult for those with broken bones, drug overdoses, sudden heart conditions, asthma attacks they can't treat at home, etc. The load on our emergency departments would be drastically reduced if more people knew how to manage non-emergency situations that suddenly cropped up, at home. Various "suddenlies" in the latter category would be further reduced by learning how to maintain natural health using natural means through food as medicine. This is where I come in. I can teach you how to support various bodily systems that seem to get attacked by repeated maladies. Raising your overall physical health means fewer health conditions to fight and fewer temptations to overload an admittedly manufactured strain at hospitals and clinics. As your physical health can be impacted by your mental, emotional, social, relational and spiritual health, we will look at those areas too, to ensure you are not exacerbating physical conditions via stresses in these other areas. Reach out to me for a free discovery session, and together, let's take a load off mainstream medical by no longer requiring their services for things we can do ourselves. Side note: I grew up in Port Hardy. https://www.castanet.net/news/BC/376960/Critics-warn-of-rural-health-care-collapse-as-ERs-temporarily-close-on-North-Island
