The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Trillium Health Partners had the honour of administering Peel Region’s first COVID-19 vaccine, and I was lucky enough to capture the event.

While the vaccine rollout is worth celebrating it is important to not celebrate a victory quite yet. Even with multiple companies pumping out vaccines it’s going to take time to administer the vaccine to those who are willing to take it.

Be sure to remain vigilant. Continue to mask up, social distance and practice frequent hand hygiene.

The staff at the Trillium Health Partner vaccination clinic are working hard to get all the ICU staff and long term care home workers vaccinated. Below are some images from the vaccination clinic.

We’re In This Together: A COVID-19 Survival Story

Here is a video that I had the pleasure of working on for Trillium Health Partners. These days it's nice to be telling a positive story.

The work everyone does at THP is so important, especially during a pandemic. I'm incredibly grateful to have the privilege to tell stories like these and work around the people who step up and fully commit themselves to keep our community safe.

After returning from a trip to Miami, Florida in March, Richard Reid developed a severe headache and worsening cough. It was confirmed that he had contracted #COVID19 and within days Richard was intubated and in critical condition at THP.

Thankfully he pulled through and today he's sharing his story—coupled with a special surprise—to remind us that there’s work yet to be done.

"I don't believe we should be fearful because I don't think that's a way to live and I certainly haven't lived that way. We have some really basic guidelines that we can follow and we can still live a full life within those guidelines. Let's do that and let's get it done with."

Respiratory Therapy Week Photos

Respiratory Therapists are some of the unsung heroes of the hospital, especially during the pandemic. Respiratory therapists are an essential component in the battle against COVID-19. For Respiratory Therapy Week I shot a some portraits with the RT team at Trillium Health Partners.
