Today I received an alarming letter related to capacity within our NICU, and I’ve asked my department and AHS to look into this. I want to reassure families that my department has confirmed there continues to be space within the NICU. And should capacity become limited we will take any action needed to care for these young infants. This reaffirms the need to expand capacity within the system, including building a stand alone Stollery, and expanding NICU capacity across the province. My priority is to make sure that the babies and their families are looked after. Thank you to the dedicated staff in our NICU, as a parent and grandmother, you are so appreciated.
@AdrianaLaGrange Two briefing notes were sent in 2022 and 2023 to your ministry. Nothing was done. So today we released a public letter that our babies in the NICU are at risk. Time to add staff and bed resources. Thank you for your immediate attention to resource our NICUs.
@AdrianaLaGrange What AHS Middle Mgr will get blamed for this? That’s right- they aren’t there anymore. Its look in the mirror time- next time in confession you need to add this blunder- how dare you harm the most innocent. Running out of penance for these egregious things #ResignLagrange
@AdrianaLaGrange AHS is working very hard to destroy the current UCP Cabinet the way AHS under @dryiu_verna buried Jason Kenney's @jkenney and Tyler Shandro's political careers (for being far too weak and incompetent) #ableg #abhealth #abpoli
@AdrianaLaGrange @AdrianaLaGrange this is terrible. So is the fact that our local ER is closed again tonight and the closest ER is an hour away. When are you going to act and implement the new payment model the rural physicians need to improve the chances of recruitment? You need to act NOW.
@AdrianaLaGrange How many AHS ‘uppers’ brought this to your attention for a very long time? Or did they get fired….?
@AdrianaLaGrange Maybe space but is there staff? All nurses are horribly overrun and overworked
@AdrianaLaGrange Two choices: 1) there are NICU capacity challenges and the bureaucracy you built sends you a letter? 2) staff is keeping you as far out of the loop as possible so you don’t screw thing up worse
