The federal government reached a funding agreement recently with Canada’s provinces and territories that will add roughly $46.2 billion in new money over 10 years to be directed at 4 priority areas: family health services, health workers and backlogs, mental health and substance use, and a modernized health system. In this episode of the CHIP, we speak about what this agreement will mean for average people in Canada and how quickly we can expect to see the effect of this funding. Our guests are Dr. Jennifer Zelmer, president and CEO of Healthcare Excellence Canada; Annamarie Fuchs, a former registered nurse and author of Partners in Health Conversations; and Teri Price, whose brother died tragically in 2012 after falling through the cracks in our health care system.
