Today I received an alarming letter related to capacity within our NICU, and I’ve asked my department and AHS to look into this. I want to reassure families that my department has confirmed there continues to be space within the NICU. And should capacity become limited we will take any action needed to care for these young infants. This reaffirms the need to expand capacity within the system, including building a stand alone Stollery, and expanding NICU capacity across the province. My priority is to make sure that the babies and their families are looked after. Thank you to the dedicated staff in our NICU, as a parent and grandmother, you are so appreciated.
@AdrianaLaGrange Two briefing notes were sent in 2022 and 2023 to your ministry. Nothing was done. So today we released a public letter that our babies in the NICU are at risk. Time to add staff and bed resources. Thank you for your immediate attention to resource our NICUs.
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange Thank you for bringing this to light. We can imagine how bad healthcare is under this minister, but getting specific examples is eye opening. Frankly this is so disturbing that I can’t imagine any scenario where it ends well other than LaGrange resigning along with Smith
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange Please keep speaking truth to power
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange “I want to reassure families that … there continues to be space within the NICU. And should capacity become limited we will take any action needed …” From that doesn’t it sounds like she still doesn’t get it?!
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange Caught in a lie! Tsk, tsk Adriana. @EZMAS2 quote: "Two briefing notes were sent in 2022 and 2023 to your ministry. Nothing was done. "What's @ucpcaucas spin? #ableg #abpoli @TheBreakdownAB @JasonOnTheDrums @CalgaryOccupy @nenshi @abndpcaucus @JFCnotagain @youseepeeYYC
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange The ucp recognizes this may inconvenience some babies, but unfortunately they aren't ucp supporters and can't vote so what's a con government to do? #marlainaHatesBabies #NeverVoteConservative #marlainaHatesAlbertans
@EZMSA2 @YYCCowboy @AdrianaLaGrange Thank you @EZMSA2 on behalf of myself ( long time NICU nurse in Yeg) and all the babies for shedding a bright light on this issue❤️
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange Thank you for going public with this. I can't imagine how afraid parents and staff at the NICU are to keep sounding the alarm with no response from our government. Stay strong!
@EZMSA2 @patmccombe @AdrianaLaGrange She’s such a liar.
@EZMSA2 @AdrianaLaGrange Thank you for this public briefing note/letter. Get to work Minister, no more ridiculous photo ops, time for you and @ABDanielleSmith to do ACTUAL work
