After nearly three years of working with Trillium Health Partners, my time has come to a close. I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've had and the amazing people I got to work with.
I always tell people this, and it's so true - if in my interview I was told that there was a pandemic on the horizon I may have had second thoughts about taking the job. However, I'm so glad I did.
Documenting and telling the stories of what was happening within the hospital’s walls was a really compelling experience.
For my last project with THP I got to tell the story of this brave family and the amazing team that cared for them in some of their darkest moments.
I'm going to miss telling these stories and working with such an incredible team. Thanks so much Trillium Health Partners.
Respiratory Therapist Week 2021 // POTD 08.11.21
I spent an afternoon on one of the intensive care units at Trillium Health Partners to gather some images for Respiratory Therapist Week. RT’s plays an integral role in caring for patients with COVID-19. It is amazing to watch these teams work together to care for their patients.
Vaccine Efficacy Explained
Another animated video created for Trillium Health Partners.
"All approved vaccines are 100 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. We should all take the first opportunity to be vaccinated."
Watch as Dr. Matthew Robinson, Medical Director of THP’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program, explains what is meant by vaccine efficacy in relation to the severity of symptoms caused by COVID-19.
More animations I’ve created can be found HERE.
COVID Unit Portrait // POTD 20.01.21
Infectious disease specialist, Dr. Sumon Chakrabarti stops for a quick portrait between seeing COVID positive patients at Trillium Health Partners. Dr. Chakrabarti and fellow infectious disease specialists have been key players in not only keeping us safe but also keeping us informed throughout this pandemic. Over the past year he’s been volunteering his time to provide daily interviews to media.
While on the unit we also shot some b-roll for virtual discussion with a group of front-line doctors from across Canada that aired on Global News. You can watch the discussion HERE.
Peel Paramedics COVID-19 Vaccination Training // POTD 17.01.21
On January 7 Peel Paramedics came to Trillium Health Partners to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. They also were trained on how to administer the vaccine. Now Peel Paramedics have joined forces in administering the vaccine to long-term care workers, front line staff and other priority groups. I had the opportunity to tag along and photograph some of the process. Here are a few of my favourite stills from the day.
The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Trillium Health Partners had the honour of administering Peel Region’s first COVID-19 vaccine, and I was lucky enough to capture the event.
While the vaccine rollout is worth celebrating it is important to not celebrate a victory quite yet. Even with multiple companies pumping out vaccines it’s going to take time to administer the vaccine to those who are willing to take it.
Be sure to remain vigilant. Continue to mask up, social distance and practice frequent hand hygiene.
The staff at the Trillium Health Partner vaccination clinic are working hard to get all the ICU staff and long term care home workers vaccinated. Below are some images from the vaccination clinic.
