On March 1, 2021, in partnership with University of Toronto Mississauga and Region of Peel, THP opened Mississauga’s first mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic. I had the pleasure of shooting photo and video of the opening. This is a major milestone in the fight against COVID-19.
“At the heart of this is the heart of every single health care worker. They care about their community and they care about each other.”
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.
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.

"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."

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.”

That’s not a halo, but it might as well be. Thanks to all the nurses out there. You guys and gals are amazing.
Meet Trillium Health Partners Airway Team. These specialists take on one of the most dangerous procedures when treating patients with COVID-19. Intubation requires these medical staff to get up close to very ill patients. This team selflessly put themselves directly in the line of fire.
