During National Biomedical Engineering Week (May 18-24), we acknowledge the important role of Biomedical Engineering Services in Ontario’s health care system.

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC)’s Biomedical Engineering Technologists and Technicians use their knowledge and training to maintain, repair and help with the selection of medical devices and health technology used for patient care at TBRHSC and in Northwestern Ontario.

As an integral part of the patient’s health care team, we thank all Biomedical Engineering Technologists and Technicians for their hard work and dedication!

May 19 is Personal Support Worker Day. It’s an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the vital contributions of Personal Support Workers (PSWs) to Ontario’s most vulnerable residents.

In Ontario, PSWs provide care to any person who requires personal assistance with activities of daily living. The PSWs who work at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre look after a broad range of supportive activities across many areas of the Hospital, including assisting with activities of daily living such as personal hygiene, mobility, getting dressed, assisting patients with meal selection, the delivery of nourishments, and assisting with feeding as needed. Please join us in thanking our PSWs for everything that they do.

The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) Program provides free, evidence-based, short-term cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for adults experiencing mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and related conditions. Services are delivered by trained therapists and are accessible via self-referral. More information in link below.

Key Features of the program:

• Complementary to Employee & Family Assistance Programs (EFAP): OSP can be a next step for individuals needing more targeted therapy after an initial EFAP consultation or for those who may not have success with EFAP options.
• No Cost: Services are publicly funded, removing financial barriers for staff who may not have extended EFAP coverage or who require longer-term, structured care.
• Access to Trained Therapists and Stepped Care: The program offers a range of service options from self-guided resources (Bounceback, iCBT, Tranquility, Mindbeacon) to individual 1-1 therapy, depending on the client’s needs.
• Therapists all across the region: OSP works through a network of organizations and has therapists in Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, Thunder Bay and Marathon, Additionally there are two traveling therapists and clients can have telephone and virtual meetings.
