Dr Todd Howlett & Dartmouth General Art Installation - Member Statement

I have a happier story about a hospital. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Todd Howlett and the Dartmouth General Hospital. Nova Scotia health care workers have been pushed to their limits in the last three years and yet every day they come to work and do their jobs with the highest professional and ethical standards that they are able. Their dedication to care for the community reflects the intention behind the Hippocratic oath taken by most doctors.

Dr. Howlett, with the generous support of local businesses, recently organized the installation of a large rendering of that oath outside the Dartmouth General Hospital to serve as a reminder to physicians, health care workers, and patients that this dedication to the care of patients is at the core of the work they do.

May we in this House support all health care workers as they strive to care for Nova Scotians and maintain this oath.
