Take action: Nurses are hanging by a thread

Two years of fighting COVID-19 has exhausted Canada's health care workers and brought our health care system to the brink on multiple occasions. Why wasn't our health care system better prepared to confront a pandemic? For years, it's been underfunded and neglected. Health care workers are chronically understaffed and trying to do more and more with less and less.

Let's be clear: There is no healthcare without health care workers. There is no health care without nurses.

We need bold leadership to tackle the nursing shortage. The federal government needs to call a meeting of health care leaders across the country to discuss critical priorities, including urgently needed strategies to retain and recruit health care workers.

Canada's longstanding nursing shortage threatens the future sustainability of the health care system we all hold so dear.

Tell the Prime Minister and your Premier: Nurses are hanging on by a thread!

Take action now!

Dear [recipient name will go here],

Canada's health care workers are hanging by a thread. For two years, they have been battling this pandemic while grappling with a chronically short-staffed health care system. Their untenable working conditions have driven many out of the profession, with countless more looking for the exit sign.

While COVID-19 continues to monopolize our attention, we cannot ignore the looming crisis posed by an ever-growing health care worker shortage. The intersection of these two formidable threats is a disastrous prospect for Canada's health care system.

There simply is no health care without health care workers. There is no health care without nurses.

It's time we do better. Governments need to work together to tackle the nursing shortage. The federal government must immediately call for a meeting of health care leaders across the country to discuss critical priorities, including urgently needed strategies to retain and recruit health care workers.

Please act now. Canada's nurses and health care workers are counting on you.

Sincerely,
