At Humber River Health, we’re proud to see our teams driving meaningful change for Long-Term Care residents.

Beatrise Edelstein, our VP of Post Acute Care and Health System Partnerships, and Kathleen Kirk, Clinical Program Manager of our Schulich Family Medicine Teaching Unit and Integrated Care Services, recently presented at , highlighting the impact of our LTC++ Diagnostic Imaging & Transportation pilot in Northwest Toronto.

Through their integrated LTC–Acute Care Remote Monitoring Program, they created a streamlined pathway for LTC teams to coordinate directly with our LTC+ nurse navigator—making it easier to book diagnostic imaging and access fully funded, non-urgent transportation.

The results speak for themselves:
✅ 1,180 Emergency Department visits avoided
✅ $478K in cost savings across FY23/24 and FY24/25
✅ Improved care experiences for residents and families
✅ Greater confidence among providers in timely access to services

By removing transportation barriers, this initiative also advanced health equity for residents with limited mobility, social supports, or financial means, delivering care aligned with the .

We congratulate Beatrise and Kathleen on this wonderful initiative!

Have you heard about SCOPE (Seamless Care Optimizing the Patient Experience)?

SCOPE is a virtual, interprofessional care team that supports primary care providers through a single point of access—helping ensure patients receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place. Here’s one powerful example of how SCOPE is transforming patient care:

When primary care providers need urgent support, SCOPE helps connect the dots.

A patient with complex diabetic wounds required immediate guidance. Through SCOPE, their physician was quickly connected to a specialist, redirected to the most appropriate care pathway, and secured a timely vascular consult with Own Health’s Vascular Surgeons Drs. Asem Saleh and Kerry Graybiel.

The result: faster treatment, the right care team, and no unnecessary delays.

This is what coordinated, patient-centered care looks like.

In honour of , meet Nabil, a physiotherapist supporting our patients at Hennick Humber Hospital.

Nabil’s interest in physiotherapy began as a young athlete recovering from injuries, where the care and attention he received inspired him to provide the same experience for his own patients.

In his role within the surgical units, Nabil assesses patients following emergency and elective orthopedic procedures, working closely with them to determine the level of support needed for recovery and to help set them up for the best possible outcomes.

For Nabil, improving patient outcomes starts with connection. By building strong relationships, understanding each patient’s goals, and providing individualized, culturally sensitive care, he and his colleagues help enhance both recovery and overall patient experience.

Recognizing Physiotherapy Month is an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of professionals across the field, from clinical care to research, and to celebrate the collaboration and dedication that continue to strengthen healthcare.

This , meet Keerthi Jarajapu!

Keerthi’s journey into speech-language pathology was inspired by personal experiences. After watching her grandfather struggle with dysphagia, she saw how Speech-Language Pathologists helped make swallowing safer while still respecting the foods and cultures he loved. Volunteering with post-stroke patients also showed her how much communication can affect a person’s quality of life.

Today, Keerthi works at the Reactivation Care Centres, supporting patients in the post-acute phase of recovery after strokes, dementia-related changes, or medical illnesses. Her days are busy and fast-paced, involving swallowing and communication assessments, treatment, family support, and close collaboration with the healthcare team.

For Keerthi, one of the most rewarding parts of the role is helping patients safely return to the foods, drinks, and conversations that bring them comfort, connection, and joy.

Through her work, Keerthi hopes every patient feels heard, supported, and empowered during a difficult time in their lives. Her compassion and dedication reflect the important role Speech-Language Pathologists play in patient care every day.

Meet Helia, a Biomedical Engineer dedicated to supporting patient care through healthcare technology.

Helia’s day-today includes maintenance, troubleshooting, inspections, and responding to service requests for medical equipment. She plays a vital behind-the-scenes-role, helping healthcare teams deliver reliable and efficient care.

What drew Helia to Biomedical Engineering was the chance to combine healthcare, technology, and hands on problem solving in a meaningful way. One innovation that excites her most is the growing integration of smart technology and artificial intelligence into healthcare systems.
