👩🏻‍⚕️❤️ International Women’s Day,
an opportunity to celebrate female leaders and women in medicine. The growth of women in our profession has been astounding over the past number of years, and it is projected that the number of female physicians will outnumber males by 2030. This was unthinkable a decade ago. This gender shift in health care is worth celebrating.

Hospitals in DOWNTOWN TORONTO are now pre-registering eligible patients, aged 80 and up, for the COVID-19 vaccine, as part of the Ontario COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout. The pre-registration allows for eligible patients to submit their interest in being vaccinated – it does not provide access to book appointments at this time.

𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥?
In order to pre-register at UHN, patients must:

🔴 Be aged 80 years or older (born in 1941 or earlier)

𝗔𝗡𝗗
🔴 Be a current patient of UHN – Toronto General, Toronto Western, Princess Margaret, Toronto Rehab – Sinai Health System, Women’s College Hospital, or Toronto Grace Health Centre.
🔴 Please note individuals whose only visit to UHN has been for COVID-19 testing at the Toronto Western Assessment Centre, are not considered a patient of UHN.

𝗢𝗥
🔴 Live in the mid-west Toronto region (South of Eglinton to the lake, east of Dufferin St. and west of Yonge St.)
