In this promotional video, the speaker urges residents of Canadian cities such as Thunder Bay, Regina, Whitehorse, Winnipeg, and Montreal to become “Infusion Hosts,” volunteers who will help recruit American doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals to address local staffing shortages. The speaker explains that while they cannot personally advocate for each region, they have set up a turnkey system: a copy‑and‑paste healthcare‑infusion website template, guidance on creating an online community for Q&A, and a dedicated Infusion Discord where the organizers (the speaker and Jocelyn) provide evening and weekend support. The initiative, launched in Nanaimo, has already placed dozens of clinicians in communities across British Columbia, the Okanagan, Nova Scotia, and an upcoming launch in Windsor. Viewers are directed to healthcareinfusion.org to sign up as hosts, with the promise that the process takes only one to two hours and contributes to a national, volunteer‑run, grassroots recruitment movement.

So if you live in Thunder Bay, Regina, Whitehorse, Winnipeg, or Montreal, and thought to yourself, "These ER lines are too long and we need more doctors," I can send you some. These are some of the cities in which American doctors and nurses in the last few days have told me that they are interested in moving to. And I sent them information on your provincial programs, but I don't live there, so I can't advocate for your area. But you can, and Jocelyn and I have set up everything you need to do it: a healthcare infusion website template which you can copy, you edit your own city's information into, details on setting up an online community where people from your city can answer questions that these people have. Um, there's an, uh, a special Infusion Discord for Infusion hosts just like you. Jocelyn and I are in there evenings and weekends to give you whatever help you need in getting started. It only takes a couple of hours, literally like 1 or 2. You can be up and running and part of this national movement of regional healthcare infusions, volunteer-run, community-driven, grassroots recruitment programs. We started it in Nanaimo. Already dozens of doctors and nurses and allied professionals have accepted jobs and move their families to our community. We want to help you do the same for your city. But someone there has to start. Why not you? Go to healthcareinfusion.org and click "Become an Infusion Host." We already have infusions up and running in northern BC, in the Okanagan, in Nova Scotia, one's about to launch in Windsor. How about we get your city on the list next? Yeah, we going hard and leaving it all on the floor.
