In this promotional YouTube segment, the speaker announces the opening of two new Healthcare Infusions chapters—one in Montreal and another in northwest British Columbia—adding to existing chapters in the Peace Region, Kelowna, Ottawa, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Vancouver Island. Healthcare Infusions are locally managed websites that recruit doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, oncology specialists, and pediatricians to underserved Canadian communities. The initiative complements, rather than replaces, government health services by providing personal, community‑level support such as families offering spare rooms, parents giving school advice, and nurses giving American colleagues hospital tours. The speaker urges viewers to start their own chapter, noting that no technical expertise is required. Templates, media‑release drafts, and a private Discord for chapter hosts are provided, and step‑by‑step assistance is offered during evenings and weekends. All details are available at healthcareinfusion.org, and the narrative frames the effort as a quintessentially Canadian story of neighborly solidarity that holds towns together.

Chapters

2 more Healthcare Infusions chapters have opened in the last 48 hours. One in Montreal, uh, and one in the northwest of BC. They join the Peace Region, Kelowna, Ottawa, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Vancouver Island, and more in development as we speak. But guys, can we talk about this? Like, why don't I have any magnets in Alberta or Saskatchewan or Manitoba or most of Ontario? Healthcare Infusions are locally run websites devoted to recruiting healthcare workers to their community. The first one started here in Nanaimo. It is now becoming a national movement. They do not replace the to the great work being done by local health authorities and provinces, but they add what governments can't: the human touch. Families who open their spare rooms for a night or two while newcomers look for a place to live, or parents offering advice for schools, or nurses taking their American counterparts on hospital tours during their lunch breaks. If your town needs doctors or nurses or respiratory therapists or oncology specialists or pediatricians, don't swipe past this. Help us. Start an Infusion chapter where you live. You don't need tech skills, just a bit of time. Jocelyn and I built a template you can copy and customize. Yours can be online in under an hour. We wrote media releases for your local newspaper. We set up a private Discord for chapter hosts. We are with you there step by step, weekends and evenings. You can get all the information at healthcareinfusion.org. This is Canada's story. Neighbours that jump in when they're needed. Small acts that hold entire towns together. That's our history. And if you feel that pull in your chest, that is your signal to join us.
