2015., Adult, Véhicule Press Call No: QWF 362.109 L665h Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Drawing on forty years running Canadian health care institutions, David Levine shares his experience on how to manage in this very complex environment. His career includes implementing one of the first Local Community Health Centres (CLSCs) in Montreal in the 1970s, involvement in electoral politics, managing various Québec hospitals, and running the Montreal regional health authority. His experience with politics--both personal and professional--is the basis of his analysis of the impact of politics on health care. Levine supports without qualification a Public, Universal Health Care System, but he questions the effectiveness of managing the system from the Minister's Office. Poor decision-making on the basis of politics often means best solutions are not implemented. Levine's analysis includes what is not working and how to fix it, and the barriers to implementation. For all Canadians seeking a better understanding of the health care system and what it will take to fix it"--Provided by publisher.

2017., General, Douglas & McIntyre Call No: QWF 362.109 P586m Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Health issues have long occupied top headlines in Canadian media, and no journalist has written on public health with more authority or for as many years as André Picard. Matters of Life and Death collects Picard's most compelling columns, covering a broad range of topics including Canada's right-to-die law, the true risks of the Zika virus, the financial challenges of a publicly funded health system, appalling health conditions in First Nations communities, the legalization of marijuana, the social and economic impacts of mental illness, and the healthcare challenges facing transgender people. The topic of health touches on the heart of society, intersecting with many aspects of private and public life-human rights, aging, political debate, economics and death. Picard demonstrates the connection between physical health and the health of society as a whole, provides the facts to help readers make knowledgeable health choices, and acts as a devoted advocate for those whose circumstances bar them from receiving the care they need."--Provided by publisher.
