Tommy Douglas was the first leader to introduce free healthcare. He wanted to make Canada a safer and better place to live, ensuring access to healthcare for all. Douglas became the leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), soon bringing the party to a victory as they became the governing party of Saskatchewan. In 1947, Douglas took the first step towards universal healthcare by bringing public insurance in Saskatchewan. For every five dollars a year, each person in the province would receive hospital care when needed. Douglas wanted to ensure that every person can get access to healthcare. Douglas had experienced problems and struggles in his life that he did not want other people to face. He believed that healthcare should

When deciding who is a great leader Gigi Darricades the CEO of Valley Wide Health Systems Inc. Gigi was born and raised in Chile in the city of Chuquicamata. From there her parents got a passport and were able to come to the U.S, but she was not able to get one and there for went to boarding school in Canada and later when she turned 18 she entered the U.S. that way. She then attended a Community College because of the out-of-state tuition being so high this was the cheaper way to go. Gigi worked as a TA or teacher assistance and selling auto parts, she did this for 6 to 7 years. The University of California Berkeley was her next stop and got a Bachelors of political science and then later went back to that same college, went to the school of public health where there was only 12 students and graduated with a Masters in health care administration. She later moved to New Mexico where she worked at Presbyterian Hospital and ran the rural hospital and later merged the two together. After that she meet her husband and moved to Utah where she worked for a multinational health care doing rural health care. Which was hard because the culture was mostly men and not female oriented.

After all he did not get transferred there, but they did end up going to Wyoming and 18 months later took the

At St. Jude Research Hospital their mission is to find cures and means of prevention for life threatening pediatric illnesses. Thanks to Danny Thomas’s vision, no child is denied treatment based on religion, race, or a family's ability to pay. St. Jude has achieved a survival rate of ninety-four percent, since the hospital was opened in 1962. It was also the first organization to develop a cure for sickle cell disease, that require a bone marrow transplant and now has one of the largest pediatric sickle cell programs in the country.

St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, with its interesting history and untiring devotion to the world’s children who battle cancer, remains an iconic medical institution. Uncertain to where his life was directing him, Danny Thomas battled, for many years, about his future. Danny called on St. Jude Thaddeus for guidance with this decision. Danny Thomas knew that he wanted to change lives for many children and families, but was still unsure on how to do so (“St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital” 1). Danny knew he wanted to build a hospital for children, so in 1955 Danny and a group of

To this day, many Canadian citizens are all glad for the free health care plan available in Canada. Little do most people know, that Tommy Douglas was the one who made this possible. Though the modern day healthcare plan is a bit different from what Tommy Douglas had envisioned, it still remains true to the “helping society” idea. The most key difference between Tommy Douglas’ health care plan and the modern day one, is that parallel services could exist. Not many people are aware of this but, you could technically pay to use a private doctor if you didn’t want a government employed one. Those private doctors could dictate the price of their service, this was known as “extra billing”. On the other hand, modern day Canadian healthcare does not

Since 1962 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has been the second largest hospital to help children that suffer from catastrophic pediatric diseases such as cancer and AIDS. I will be discussing how developing and launching new offerings caused this organization to move forward with a program called Cure4Kids. You will see how an idea was generated and tested to use IT to transfer medical

The health care organization covered is Jackson Health System in Miami, Florida. With over 2500 beds, this is one of the largest health systems in Florida and its flagship Jackson Memorial is one of the largest in the country. There are a number of strengths and weaknesses that will characterize the strategic direction that the organization will follow. Among the strengths are that Jackson has a large geographic footprint with Miami-Dade County, it has the financial backing of the county, that it has a diverse workforce, its relationship with medical school at the University of Miami, its leadership, and the multiple clinics and specialized services that it offers.

The community that St. Jude serves is defined by understanding of the patient population and the clinical needs of that community. St Jude serves as a national referral center for children with catastrophic diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, and blood disorders (Umbach, 2013). Unfortunately, St. Jude does not admit children for any diagnostic groups outside of these services. They do not offer medical services beyond those are needed to care for children with these diseases (Umbach, 2013). St. Jude does have a network of eight affiliated pediatric hematology/oncology clinics in the U.S. This allows them to extend their care and benefits to more children. It also allows them to increase the number of children that are being treated on their

As you all know, I have spent all of my professional career at ALSAC/St. Jude. Throughout this time, I have witnessed some amazing things that until this past month I think I have taken for granted. And I am not just referring to the miracles our doctors perform every day for our patients.

People living with HIV and AIDS have always had a difficult time obtaining access to health coverage (Sorian, 2010). Medicaid, Medicare, and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program have provided a critical safety net (Sorian, 2010). But today, nearly 30% of people living with HIV do not have any health insurance coverage, and many others have limited coverage (Sorian, 2010). In addition, people living with HIV and AIDS have faced hurdles to getting quality care from qualified providers (Sorian, 2010).

“Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $5 billion—most of it $1 at a time—for 170 children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada, which, in turn, use the money where it’s needed the most. These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible, the Children’s Miracle Network mission statement is we increase funds and awareness for local children’s hospitals and there vision statement is together we save kids’ lives. ” (http://childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org). Strategic planning plays an important role with the Children’s Miracle Network because it determines where the Children’s Miracle Network is going in the 10 years or longer also what better goals they want to accomplish such as raising more money to help sick children, building more buildings on to the hospital, purchasing better medical equipment and coming up with medications that can save these children lives. With the Children’s Miracle Network they are there to help save lives and to help children enjoy their lives as children.

It was agreed that movie was a bit painful to watch! A good reminder not to turn into a healthcare robot!

I chose to write about the Mayo Clinic because they have been around for more than one hundred years, and their reputation precedes them. The Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping the patient first. The U.S. News reported that for 2016, the Mayo Clinic tanked number on the list for best hospitals because of the great treatment they provide to the patients. There are several factors that go into determining who goes on the list such as the number of patients the hospital has, the number of patients that survived, infection rated and the ratio of staff to patients. The Mayo Clinic’s clinical practice, education, research, and expertise are what keep them in the running for the top spot in the medical industry.
