#DYK: Since not all injuries, illnesses or medical issues are life-threatening, the emergency department isn't always the best place to go. Know your health-care options this long weekend like an Urgent Care Centre, your local pharmacy and you can even call 811 to speak to a registered nurse 24/7. But, if you're experiencing a medical emergency, please call 9-1-1.

If you know someone with diabetes, you may have no

If you know someone with diabetes, you may have noticed them wearing an insulin pump. It may even be a high-tech version, consisting of a continuous glucose monitor and computer program that calculates how much insulin they need to keep blood glucose levels in check and automatically deliver dosages.

It’s advanced technology by today’s standards. But what if there was an even better, more accurate way to ensure consistent, correct dosages in medications like insulin, or blood-thinners warfarin and heparin by using artificial intelligence that teaches itself? A study by the Hamilton Health Sciences CREATE team explored this, opening the door to use this type of AI in health-care research.

Our President and CEO, Tracey MacArthur continues

Our President and CEO, Tracey MacArthur continues to visit our hospital sites and centres to get to know our people. She recently visited our @mcmasterchildrens and McMaster University Medical Centre to learn more about our women's and children's programs and services. Plus, in her visit to West Lincoln Memorial Hospital she got a tour of the construction progress on the new hospital. She continues to be inspired by the vibrant energy and dedication of our teams. We're looking forward to having her join our upcoming week-long staff appreciation event at the beginning of June.
