Look what it cost the #PEI taxpayers to get rid of #HEALTHPEI CEO #MELANIEFRASER. 93 physicians in the province signed a letter to the Premier about their lack of confidence in her.
She was canned with over $400K severance. #PEIPOLI #ONPoli #cdnpoli
This is private healthcare.
The contract with #HealthPEI was for 3,600 cataract surgeries. The clinic completed that contract. Then all appointments were cancelled. Waiting on more funds. #peipoli #HealthPEI
#PEI govt pauses "implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement has been paused while all parties work together to address the concerns raised by #physicians”.
93 Island physicians signed a letter to the #Lantz and Minister saying they’d lost confidence in #HEALTHPEI #CEO Melanie Fraser.
"This week saw another CEO depart #HealthPEI. A look back at the relatively short history of the health authority shows that CEOs (and boards) don’t last all that long. The govt of the day gets frustrated with the state of affairs & makes changes with the promise that things will be different."

"The report also found that employment contracts for the executives were not authorized in accordance with treasury board policies.
These contracts were not approved by the health minister, Health P.E.I's board of directors, or the treasury board."

"But the numbers do show a significant increase in cost to use the private employment firms."

"Noonan said his work isn't done when it comes to Health P.E.I. He’s following up on the 2024 audit, and said he will also be looking into money spent on travel nurses."

The build it and they will come approach is being tested on #PEI. BIG, shiny new health clinics and structures without staffing…using millions of taxpayer funds sold to residents as investment to get the healthcare they need.

Why would #PEI build a new facility with not one more additional bed in the new facility than the existing one in St Hebert?
#HealthPEI has the brand new #drugandalcohol addiction centre, plus 64 bed #psychiatric hospital next metres from school K-12.

#PEIHEALTH WAITLIST FOR 12 years. GONE FROM 7800 to over 38,000. It’s worse.

12 years on the patient registry wait list and still no access to primary care. Twice a year I update and check my information with #HealthPEI.
Our #patientregistry went from 7,800 to over 39,000 for a population of 180,000.

Look at this inflated administration and bureaucracy #MelanieFraser and #HealthPEI has created and paid for. And the number of Islanders without a doctor continues to grown to 1 of every 4.6 Islanders almost 22% of the population. #RobLantz #PEI #Healthcare
#Amercian #physicians applying to #Canada has increased 750% due to US admin policy of healthcare leadership (Kennedy), cuts to pandemic response; policy around Medicaid etc.
#CanadaBrainGain #PEI #HealthPEI #CANADIANHealthcare
Every #province should be taking advantage of the brain gain and actively pursuing #physicians to work in Canada. #PEIPOLI #peipoli #HealthPEI #cdnpoli .

Being “Denied” = Psychological Harm and Real Risk:
When patients feel ignored, disbelieved, or dismissed, the result is often:
Increased anxiety and panic—especially when already in pain or distress.
Delays in diagnosis, which can worsen outcomes.#PEIPOLI #HealthPEI #PremierLantz
If I die in the next year or two with no family Dr. (been waiting 20 years,) I want my headstone to say "Murdered by #HealthPEI."
Life’s pretty bleak in the land of the free these days. And for many #U.S. #doctors, #Canada’s grass is looking greener.
It’s a #brain-gain opportunity for #Canada

Why hasn’t #HEALTHPEI and the #PEI government not signed the federal #Pharmacare plan? Only BC has signed on so far!!!! Without provincial signatures, the plan will die. NDP have given the Liberals the ultimatum to get it done by March 24 as they won’t support further extensions.
