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.
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."

Respiratory Therapy Week Photos
Respiratory Therapists are some of the unsung heroes of the hospital, especially during the pandemic. Respiratory therapists are an essential component in the battle against COVID-19. For Respiratory Therapy Week I shot a some portraits with the RT team at Trillium Health Partners.
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's Most Dangerous Procedure // POTD 05.05.20
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.
