This week, we honor the dedication, compassion, and expertise of our neonatal nurses, whose work touches the tiniest and most vulnerable lives every single day. From providing round-the-clock care in NICUs (neonatal intensive care units) to supporting families through some of their most challenging moments, neonatal nurses are true heroes in scrubs.

Their commitment goes beyond clinical excellence. It’s the gentle touch that soothes a preemie, the calm voice that reassures a worried parent, and the constant vigilance that ensures each newborn gets the best possible start in life.

In today’s rapidly evolving health care landscape, effective communication between providers and patients is more critical than ever. In Northwestern Ontario, where patient communication has traditionally relied on physical mail, missed appointments, or “no-shows”, remain a persistent challenge. This leads to system inefficiencies and a waste of finite resources. To address this, hospitals across the region are preparing to launch an innovative SMS and email notification program in 2026. This direct-to-patient system will deliver real-time appointment alerts and preparation instructions, streamlining communication and improving patient engagement.

Dubbed “Opt-In,” the initiative leverages the use of technology and encourages patients to take a more active role in managing their care. Through a simple consent process shared at all hospitals across Northwestern Ontario, the Opt-In campaign aims to attract broad participation, especially from those who prioritize timely updates about their health. The program is expected to reduce missed appointments and improve coordination by sending reminders and confirmations directly to patients’ devices.

ICYMI: A national initiative to improve Indigenous youth mental health, co-led by local researcher Dr. Chris Mushquash, has secured an additional $10.8 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

Dr. Mushquash, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Mental Health and Addiction; Professor in the Department of Psychology at Lakehead University; Vice President Research at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre; and Chief Scientist at Thunder Bay Regional Health Research Institute, and Dr. Srividya Iyer, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Youth, Mental Health, and Learning Health Systems and Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University, are co-leading the four-year project focused on building a trust-based learning network across Canada to support culturally-grounded mental health services for Indigenous youth.

Indigenous youth in Canada face significant mental health challenges, such as intergenerational trauma, cultural disconnect, increased poverty, and limited access to health services, often due to geographic location and systemic barriers. Despite these challenges, Indigenous youth have strong connections to culture, community, and land, which are powerful protective factors that promote well-being.

Each year, living donor transplants save the lives of hundreds of Canadians awaiting a liver or kidney transplant. Living organ donation offers a shorter pathway to better health with a less wait time and better health outcomes than a deceased donor transplant. Yet many Canadians are not aware of living organ donation.

(September 7-13) is a national awareness week focused on improving access and equity in living organ donation. This week invites the living donor and transplant community to come together, celebrate and spread the word about this life-changing gift, and everyone who makes it possible. Launched by the Centre for Living Organ Donation at University Health Network (UHN) in 2020, Living Donation Week is now celebrated annually across Canada and beyond, starting the Sunday after Labour Day.

To learn more about living kidney donation in Northwestern Ontario, contact Tracey MacKay, MCKC/Transplant Coordinator for Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre at Tel. 807-684-6165 or via email at tracey.mackay@tbh.net.
