As the provincial government prepares their new health care strategy, a nurse who sees health first hand says we need to get back to the basics.
Shannon Robertson, a nurse at New Brunswick Heart Centre, says community and health professionals need to work together for a healthy future. She tells CHSJ news it starts with the kids.
"Children are our next generation, they need to know whats going on. And we're doing the best we can, but we need the collaboration of everybody."
Robertson says kids need to be taught health and physical education and life strategies in general, and that can be taught through education and in the community.
Health Minister Madeleine Dubé says New Brunswick is "the unhealthiest province in Canada", spending $8.6 million dollars a day in health care costs. The provincial government is currently drafting a new health care plan for December, taking in people's concerns and comments on how to improve our health system.
