💚 April is Be a Donor Month! 💚 At the Middlesex Hospital Alliance, we are proud to recognize the power of organ and tissue donation throughout the month of April. 🌱 Every year, countless lives are saved and transformed thanks to the selfless generosity of donors. By registering as an organ donor, you can give the gift of life to those in need. One donation has the potential to save multiple lives and change the future for so many. 🫶 ➡️ Since beginning our collaboration with Ontario Health's Trillium Gift of Life Network @trilliumgift in 2015, the MHA has supported 3 organ donors, saving the lives of 8 individuals. Across both sites, we have also had 83 tissue donors, enhancing the lives of many others. ➡️ In the last year alone (April 2024 – March 2025), we have had 9 tissue donors including the donation of ocular tissue, heart valves, bone, and skin. 🔗 To register or to learn more about organ or tissue donation, visit the MHA's Be A Donor campaign webpage here: https://lnkd.in/g4C_aDbr #BeADonorMonth #OrganDonation #GiftOfLife #MHAcares #MiddlesexHospitalAlliance #LifeSavingHeroes #BeADonor

On this International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), we at the Middlesex Hospital Alliance stand proudly in support of the transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming communities. Today is a reminder to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of these individuals, while also acknowledging the ongoing challenges they face. At the MHA, our mission is to provide the healthcare we would expect for our own families—FOR ALL. This includes ensuring that every patient, regardless of gender identity, receives compassionate, respectful, and equitable care. Together, we can create a healthcare environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. 💙🩷 #TDOV #TransVisibility #MiddlesexHospitalAlliance #HealthcareForAll #EquityInCare #OurFamiliesOurCare

Due to the rising cases of measles across southwestern Ontario, the MHA is asking for the community’s help to keep our most vulnerable patients safe. We ask that anyone experiencing symptoms of measles to call the hospital in advance of your visit so we can appropriately prepare. Patients who have been exposed to measles or who may have measles must wear a medical mask in the hospital. We thank everyone in advance for their cooperation and commitment to keeping our communities safe. For more information about measles, see the Middlesex-London Health Unit's website at: https://lnkd.in/gxVYuPn

To acknowledge the 4th and final week of 2025's Nutrition Week, we'd like to share some information that explores our emotional connections with food, courtesy of our amazing team of MHA Dietitians. Emotional eating is part of everyday life. Eating can bring happiness, ease tension and create distraction. People also have positive or negative memories linked with specific food choices that influence their preferences. However, emotional eating can become a problem when feelings are avoided and go straight to eating. This can override hunger cues leading to overeating or unhealthy food choices. Problems with emotional eating can develop in young children when they are fed using non-responsive / coercive practices by their caregiver. In contrast, children learn to self-regulate their intake when caregivers use feeding practices that support child autonomy. For adults, understanding emotional connections with food can help promote healthier eating habits by identifying triggers and finding alternative coping mechanisms for emotional challenges. If you are interested in learning more about problematic eating such as Emotional Eating , please check out our Diabetes Program as we offer a course called “Craving Change” . This program can help you learn more about emotional eating and practice Effective Strategies to deal with your eating concerns. Feel free to contact our Dietitians at the MHA Diabetes program at 519-246-5902 with any questions! Happy Nutrition Month! #thankadietitian #nourishtoflourish #dietitiantips #dietitianadvice

✨ A heartfelt thanks to Eric Hendrick, our MHA Indigenous Consultant, for delivering an insightful Indigenous education session to our management team and Board of Directors on Wednesday! This session focused primarily on language and terminology, deepening our understanding of Indigenous culture and traditions including smudging. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to learn, as it empowers us to better serve and support our Indigenous patients and families. We look forward to continuing this journey to Truth and Reconciliation!  🌿 Did you know? 🌿 Smudging is a sacred practice used by many Indigenous people. It involves the burning of sacred medicines, such as sage, sweetgrass, cedar, and tobacco. The smoke is believed to carry prayers and positive energy, creating balance and protection. 🙏✨ We welcome and support the practice of Indigenous ceremonies like smudging in our hospitals! #IndigenousEducation #CulturalAwareness #Gratitude #StrongerTogether #IndigenousCommunities #MHA #IndigenousWisdom #Smudging #CulturalAwareness #SacredTradition #HealingRituals
