  • An Urgent Statement from Hospitals in the City of Toronto and the Regions of Durham, Halton, Peel and York GTA Hospitals Support Further Lockdown Measures
    An Urgent Statement from Hospitals in the City of Toronto and the Regions of Durham, Halton, Peel and York GTA Hospitals Support Further Lockdown Measures December 20, 2020 - Today, on behalf of our patients, health care workers and staff, we are supporting the Ontario Hospital Association’s call for stronger lockdown measures from the Government of Ontario. Across the Greater Toronto Area, COVID-19 infections are continuing to rise, as are hospitalizations and intensive care cases. These trends show no sign of slowing – in fact, a surge in cases following the holiday season is expected to make the situation even worse. Our staff are caring for increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients in hospitals and assisting in other settings such as long-term care homes. They are also keeping up with the care needs of patients without COVID-19 and trying to make progress in the significant backlog of scheduled surgeries and procedures cancelled during the first wave. For many months now, these frontline health care workers have been devoting enormous energy and skill to caring for their patients, at the very epicenter of the pandemic. They are stressed and overstretched. This level of strain is simply not sustainable for much longer. We are seeing increasing numbers of staff becoming ill and not able to work – both with COVID-19 and other illnesses. While we are coping and planning for redeployment, we are seeing more illness and stress and hearing about the toll this is taking on people’s families. We recognize that lockdown measures are challenging for many members of our communities, but we cannot afford to put patients and health care workers at further risk.

  • Stem Cell Strategy by Establishing the Till & Mcculloch Medicines of Tomorrow Innovation Fund
    A Pre-Budget Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance To Implement the Canadian Stem Cell Strategy By Establishing The Till & McCulloch Medicines of Tomorrow Innovation Fund James Price President & CEO Canadian Stem Cell Foundation February 9, 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Stem cells represent the biggest innovation in medicine of the last half century. These cells have the power to cure many diseases for which current medical practice can only provide symptomatic relief and chronic care – a reality that is straining health care systems in Canada and in countries around the globe. Stem cells are a hallmark of Canadian innovation. They were first discovered in Canada and Canada is one of the top three countries in stem cell R&D, with our scientists ranking among the best in the world. Recent investments, such as the Government’s $20-million commitment to establish a cell-manufacturing facility in Toronto and the $114-million Medicine By Design grant for the University of Toronto, will help Canada move forward. However, major commitments by competitor jurisdictions – most notably California, with its investment of $3 billion, and Japan, with an investment of $1 billion in stem cells and regenerative medicine -- challenge Canada’s leadership in this sector of the knowledge economy. Moreover, Canada lacks a national plan to succeed in the coming cell therapy and regenerative medicine boom. The Canadian Stem Cell Strategy -- created in consultation with 150 scientists, medical doctors, leaders from major health charities, industry experts, investors and philanthropists – will: • deliver up to 10 new curative therapies within 10 years; • transform health care and ease the strain on the health system; and • attract private investment and generate 12,000 jobs for Canadians.
