In this episode we are talking about an extremely important topic in our province and that is our population state of health and our health care system.For a bit of background - Newfoundland and Labrador has startling health statistics -  We have Canada’s worst life expectancy, as well as highest rates of chronic disease. We have have the worst performance of a health care system in Canada in spite of a 232% increase in health spending since 1981. That means that dollar for dollar we have the worst value for health spending in the country. Newfoundland has also experienced a swing in its population demographics where we now have a low proportion of children, and a high proportion of seniors.One of the main factors identified is that our health care system is a 50-year-old institution- based system with an imbalance between community- based services and hospital services In response to these startling health care facts - On November 5, 2020, the Honourable Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Honourable John Haggie, Minister of Health and Community Services, announced that Dr. Patrick Parfrey and Sister Elizabeth Davis had been appointed Co-Chairs for the Task Force on Health, known as Health Accord NL.

Episode 67 - Health Accord NL with Dr. Patrick Parfrey and Sister Elizabeth Davis

With the limited run up to the season due to various constraints, Dan and Pete knew that the first five weeks of the season would have a "pre-season flair" to them.  Now as every side has had the chance to get into Rugby shape we're starting to know some things about where the 2021 season is going. Patrick Parfrey, Canadian International, and PhD Candidate joins the show.  Following the 2019 World Cup he took some time off to pay attention to his studies in Clinical Epidemiology and like the COVID-19 Pandemic cut short the 2020 MLR season it also postponed his return to an Arrows shirt.  He joins the show following his Player of the Week performance against the Seattle Seawolves to discuss the season and the Arrows adjustment to life in Atlanta.  Hosted on Acast.
