Medical laboratory professionals may work behind the scenes, but their expertise and collaboration with healthcare teams are essential in achieving great patient outcomes. #MotivationalMonday #LabTeamwork #LabISEssential #healthcare

Technically this is the 2023 image but I very much think we should remind #onpoli that Lab IS Essential

Great to see @mlpaoceo Michelle Hoad at Queen’s Park; good discussion about the critical work of medical laboratory professionals throughout our health care system, both during the #COVID19ON pandemic and moving forward. #labISessential 🧪

Situations such as these outline the very importance of why the public needs to be aware of the importance of medical laboratories. Without the lab, healthcare can not function. Facilities need to be built around the lab, not an after thought! #LabISEssential @SylviaJonesMPP

I work at a “newer” hospital for which the original plans from the very costly architectural firm literally omitted the Laboratory entirely. Obviously the second attempt squashed the Lab into ridiculous spaces. We are overlooked in absolutely every capacity 🙄

When labs are not being built in 'shiny brand new' facilities, all the specimens have to be shipped out, causing patients to wait hours/days longer than necessary and strains EVERY Healthcare worker. #LabISEssential #healthcare #onpoli #RememberLab

“as a consequence of forgetting the lab, it’s helping to fuel the massive labor shortage we’re seeing in labs across the country.”

It is great to see investment in healthcare infrastructure. But we also need serious investment in retaining staff, especially #MedLab professionals. ON Labs are in trouble! @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP @PBethlenfalvy #LabISEssential

A great time to bring this tweet back. Lab professionals are CRUCIAL to hospitals staying open. We need a plan to keep them. @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP #LabISEssential

Voices from the lab:
‘We are the only department in the hospital that could shut the whole place down in 10 minutes if we stopped working for that long. That's how important we are. Without us, no one else can do their jobs.”

@CBCHealth This is a huge contributing factor as to why we have an emergency room crisis! Please help spread the word! #LabISEssential #LabShortageCrisis #healthcare

DYK that many patients wait in hospital beds for lab results which prevents them from leaving the hospital in a timely manner. So many more beds could be better utilized if labs were staffed properly. #labshortagecrisis @MLPAOnews

Happy Canada Day #MedLab!
We recognize that a lot of our medical laboratory professionals do not have the day off and instead are working hard to ensure doctor's receive the test results they need to help treat patients! #LabISEssential
👀Can you guess what animal this is?
