Closing supervised consumption sites did not save lives. In @TheTorontoSun op-ed, RNAO CEO Dr. @DorisGrinspun says #HarmReduction remains a critical part of responding to the #ToxicDrugCrisis & is complementary to treatment. "Ontario should restore supervised consumption services as part of a comprehensive, accountable and compassionate system of care. Nurses understand this from daily practice: people must survive long enough to reach treatment, benefit from recovery services and rebuild their lives."

Plus, what nurses want to see in the upcoming federal budget and how two-tier health is bad for your health. Get the full details in the latest issue of #RNJ: RNJ.RNAO.ca/feature/policy-w…
