Letter to the Editor - Parent pressing for more pediatric care thankful for recent support

I would like to thank and share my appreciation for the paediatricians, family health teams and family physician who wrote letters of support for increasing paediatric care in local hospitals.Caring for a child while being hours away from your other children, support systems and home is incredibly difficult on many different levels. The support of these physicians means everything. It validates our struggles and demonstrates an awareness of just how much more is needed here.

So, on behalf of the families who make the roughly 425 monthly trips to London Health Sciences Centre for their children’s care, the roughly 6 per month sent to the U.S. for emergency care and the roughly three per month sent to SickKids, thank you for your support.
