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.
Throwback Thursday: Trillium HealthWorks Video
Here is a video I worked on in November that I never shared. It is to announce an upcoming health infrastructure renewal plan.
Mississauga's first mass COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Closes
I had the opportunity to document UTM's mass vaccinations clinic operations from when it started to when it closed. It was a really amazing thing to be a part of. I think this will be a moment that I'll look back on fondly.
Something really special about this day was getting to spend time with the staff who ran this clinic throughout its lifecycle. They were playing slideshows of the images I took at the clinic. The staff were gathered around reminiscing about their experience. It’s moments like this that are really special for me as a photographer. To be able to capture photographs of these milestones is such a privilege. I made sure to share the images with everyone I could so they would have something to look back on from their time working at the clinic. For the staff who worked and shared memories I hope these images and videos age like a fine wine.
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.
Throwback Thursday: Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Opens in Mississauga
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.”
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.
