After two strokes, he’s finding strength and inspiration through creative expression with the help of his recreation therapist Mary Scarborough. At Providence Healthcare, a regional leader in rehabilitation, seniors, and long-term care, patients like Bayani benefit from specialized programs designed to help them live life to the fullest. From stroke recovery to orthopedic rehabilitation, our dedicated teams are here to support at every step of the journey. #StrokeRecovery #RecreationTherapy #ProvidenceHealthcare

Equity is good medicine. At Unity Health Toronto, we believe that diverse and inclusive teams lead to better care for everyone. Running a health care organization that includes three hospitals and 11,000 staff is a complex undertaking. Even more so when you serve one of the largest and most diverse cities in North America. When Unity Health Toronto was founded in 2017 with the integration of three Catholic hospitals, making sure that staff reflect the diversity of patients became an important long-term goal. We’re honored to be recognized among Canada’s Best Diversity Employers 2025. https://lnkd.in/gSU8a7Z9 #DiversityEmployers #TopEmployers2025

Every month, staff, researchers, physicians, learners and teams across Unity Health Toronto celebrate important honours, achievements and awards. Congratulations to all who’ve been recognized in February! https://lnkd.in/de-C8SWx

#ICYMI: Did you know that 6.5 million Canadians don't have access to a primary care provider? This finding comes from a report by Dr. Tara Kiran, national lead for OurCare and a family doctor and scientist with the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael's Hospital. OurCare, the largest pan-Canadian conversation about the future of primary care, engaged Canadians from September 2022 to December 2023 through community roundtables, provincial panels, and a national survey to gather experiences and solutions to the crisis.
