Alberta’s Health Care Under Pressure and a Tough Flu Season

On More Than Money, Rob Gerrie and Leanna Wachniak sit down with Dr. Paul Parks, President-Elect, Section of Emergency Medicine with the Alberta Medical Association, to talk about how Alberta’s health care system is fragmented, overcrowded, and poorly integrated. They’re also joined by Jason “The Germ Guy” Tetro to discuss Alberta’s influenza season, the effectiveness of this year’s flu vaccine, what’s driving the spread, and why seniors in particular are more vulnerable to this year’s strain.

To close out the show, Rob and Leanna discuss why, for anyone who has delayed thinking about retirement, January may be the best opportunity to start asking the right questions and putting a plan in motion.
