The Oxford Ontario Health Team (Oxford OHT) has received funding to establish a temporary clinic in Tillsonburg for community members without a Family Doctor or Nurse Practitioner.

This initiative aims to provide timely access to essential care for individuals without a primary care provider. Please note that this is not a walk-in clinic; appointments will be required.

This clinic is made possible through funding from the Town of Tillsonburg & support from OHT partners – specifically the Ingersoll Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic, Roulston’s Pharmacy, Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital, and Thames Valley Family Health Team.

Details regarding clinic dates, location, and duration will be shared in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned to Oxford OHT’s social media channels & website (oxfordoht.ca) for the latest updates.

National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women

Today is the anniversary of the Montreal massacre where 14 women were murdered simply for being women. There is no excuse for any abusive act towards your wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, daughter or any other woman in your life. Violence against women is not the punch-line of a joke, is not someone else's business, and is never to be rationalized. And let's not expect the women we love to be the voice of change. It's the responsibility of every husband, partner, father, brother, and son. Speak up. Speak out. 🤍

I've been struggling a lot over the past few weeks. It seems everywhere I look, there's turmoil, anger, war, pain, and loss. Some days, it's overwhelming, but I keep reminding myself that no matter how difficult things feel, the only path is forward. To persist.

Days like November 11 remind me that as Canadians, we come from a long history of resilience—of overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges in the face of great danger and against impossible odds. Men and women, often barely older than my own children, left everything they knew to march into war, far from home, with the knowledge that many would not return. Yet they persisted.

Compared to so many places around the world, we live in relative peace and safety. We owe this to the sacrifices of those we remember on November 11—the men and women whose courage and selflessness have shaped the lives of privilege we enjoy today. We stand on the shoulders of giants who gave everything. They persisted. And so must we.

Lest we forget. 🍁

I often find myself at a loss for words on days like today, as words seem entirely inadequate. As a non-Indigenous person of colour, I feel a certain kinship with our First Nations, as the history of our peoples shares many painful parallels. Still, I can’t fully comprehend the depth of suffering our First Nations have endured — and continue to endure — or the immense generational trauma caused by genocidal Canadian government policies that echo to this very day.

The disparity in health and quality of life between First Nations and the rest of Canada is staggering. Decades of broken promises have led to lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality, disproportionately high incarceration rates, and, shockingly, many communities still lack access to clean drinking water. In Canada. In 2024.

Today, I will wear an orange shirt in solidarity with our First Nations because it’s the least I can do. I will also be writing to our local MPs, urging them to hold leadership accountable and push for actionable solutions to the clean water crises in First Nations communities. It’s the very least they can do.

Take a moment today to appreciate that your children are safe, and acknowledge with gratitude that you haven't lived the horrific experiences of the children and families that the Orange shirt represents.

Excellent episode of the Rich Roll podcast talking about all things prostate cancer. I know it's not November but it's always a good time to remind men 50 and over to talk to their doctor about prostate cancer screening, or if there's a family history, prior to that. Prostate cancer is often very treatable when detected early, and guys, these days the PSA blood test is the most common way your doctor will assess you. Get Checked. (Also learned in this episode that sleep apnea can be a cause of having to get up to p*e multiple times per night, for men and women. Didn't know that.)

Dr. Edward Schaeffer is a world-renowned urologist, pioneering robotic surgeon, and Chair of Urology at Northwestern University. We discuss prostate health, ...

Taking Care of Your Cognitive Health.

As I move through my 6th decade, I experience with more frequency those moments where I just can't find that word I'm looking for, or remember where I left something, or even recall events from the past. The good news is there are often things we can do to improve our brain health, or at the very least, slow down that cognitive decline.

Cognition — the ability to clearly think, learn, and remember — often changes as we age. Although some people develop Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia, many older adults experience more modest changes in memory and thinking. Research shows that healthy eating, staying active, and learning new skills may help keep older adults cognitively healthy.
How different factors affect cognitive health

If you think your daily choices don’t make a difference, data from an NIH study with 3,000 participants show otherwise. Researchers scored participants on five healthy lifestyle factors, all of which have important health benefits:

1. At least 20 minutes per day of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity - can be as simple as a brisk walk.
2. Not smoking
3. Not drinking heavily
4. A high-quality, Mediterranean-style diet ( or at least, de-emphasizing meat consumption, and increasing our vegetable intake, healthy fats, and water consumption)
5. Engagement in mentally stimulating activities, such as reading, writing letters, and playing games

The findings show that making these small, daily changes can add up to significant health benefits. Those who followed at least four of these healthy lifestyle behaviors had a 60% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Even practicing just two or three activities lowered the risk by 37%. While results from observational studies such as this one cannot prove cause and effect, they point to how a combination of modifiable behaviors may mitigate Alzheimer's risk and identify promising avenues to be tested in clinical trials.

New clinical trials are also testing the benefits of tightly controlling blood pressure on healthy aging. These trials are based on a 2019 study, with data supporting the idea that intensive blood pressure control may slow age-related brain damage and even mild cognitive impairment, which can increase the risk for Alzheimer’s or a related dementia.

So just remember that even as we face some of the inescapable realities of aging, we can age well with just some minor and relatively easy changes - worth the effort!

FYI For all patients using their Manulife benefits for direct billing:

Apparently there has been an ongoing issue between Manulife and the Telus Health Portal we use to do direct billing that automatically rejects claims some of the time when I try to direct bill. They have been investigating it for a number of weeks without resolution as yet. So just bear in mind that if we normally direct bill your Manulife benefits that it might not be possible until this is fixed. You will still be able to pay and then submit your receipt for reimbursement yourself, I just might not be able to direct bill. Thanks
