In 1999, Dale Shippam received a heart transplant that saved his life. This month, at the age 72, he completed another Test Your Limits expedition, helping to raise $600,000 in support of heart health alongside #TeamUHN's @hearthealthydoc. Read his story: https://t.co/h8A02ipJKO

Had the pleasure of sitting beside #MPP Kevin Holland on the way to a partner meeting at the #ThunderBay Regional Health Sciences Centre. He’s doing tremendous things in the region, with a real focus on improving the economy and healthcare. So awesome.

With a portable echocardiogram in tow, our team cared for 100+ community members and trialed a new digital sleep apnea screening device. Regular in-person visits, combined with Medly, virtual care, and remote management, support earlier detection and prevention of #heartfailure.
