We’re In This Together: A COVID-19 Survival Story

Here is a video that I had the pleasure of working on for Trillium Health Partners. These days it's nice to be telling a positive story.

The work everyone does at THP is so important, especially during a pandemic. I'm incredibly grateful to have the privilege to tell stories like these and work around the people who step up and fully commit themselves to keep our community safe.

After returning from a trip to Miami, Florida in March, Richard Reid developed a severe headache and worsening cough. It was confirmed that he had contracted #COVID19 and within days Richard was intubated and in critical condition at THP.

Thankfully he pulled through and today he's sharing his story—coupled with a special surprise—to remind us that there’s work yet to be done.

"I don't believe we should be fearful because I don't think that's a way to live and I certainly haven't lived that way. We have some really basic guidelines that we can follow and we can still live a full life within those guidelines. Let's do that and let's get it done with."

When it comes to self-care, it's important to remember that our physical, emotional and mental health are interconnected. Hear from THP's Medical Director of Mental Health, Dr. Ian Dawe as he offers some tips for prioritizing your well-being every day.

Conserving PPE by Decontaminating N95 Masks

A project shot for Trillium Health Partners. I went for a How It’s Made kind of vibe with this video. How did I do?

“Based on existing evidence and guidance from Ontario Health, Trillium Health Partners is decontaminating and storing N95 masks as part of our personal protective equipment (PPE) conservation plan to make sure that a safe supply of PPE is always immediately available. We will only use decontaminated N95 masks if our current supply is depleted and no other option is available.”

COVID-19 Test Lab

I got to go in and check out the in-house COVID-19 test lab at Trillium Health Partners. Here is a video I shot there.

“Increased testing is vital to our combined efforts again COVID-19. Learn how THP’s Medical Laboratory is using in-house genetics expertise to do 300 COVID-19 tests per day, with results in less than 12 hours.“

The Incredible Hulk Visits Grandpa // POTD 23.04.20

A few days back I spotted this family outside of the hospital waving and talking up to someone a few floors up. I realized they were visiting a family member. Since there are no more visitors in the hospital this is what a lot of families have to do to get a face to face visit in.

”Since we’re not allowed to visit with everything that is going on, we try to go by everyday to chat through the window. Our four year old decided it would be fun to dress up in a new costume every day to put a smile on his face. It seems to be doing the trick.”
