SUMMARY - Preventive Care & Screening
In a suburban neighbourhood in Ontario, Elena, a 45-year-old teacher, receives a letter from her family physician recommending a routine mammogram and a cholesterol screening. For her, this represents a moment of proactive agency, a chance to secure her health before symptoms arise, supported by a system that covers these services at the point of care. Across the city, in a bustling walk-in clinic, Dr. Aris Thorne, a general practitioner, reviews his schedule.
