Talking about Frontline Health and the stories of innovation we have collected is something we do every day. As we meet new people and continue to build and strengthen relationships we've had for years, they are telling us that the issue of frontline health is an important one. It deserves attention and consideration. And the Frontline Health program is a good first step to putting the issue in front of Canadians.

I was so thrilled when I looked at [the Frontline Health] website because.I thought I'm not alone struggling with these types of issues, and as I read some of the stories, I realized there are so many people, dedicated health professionals, who see the need, and they just go in 150 per cent, and they give it their all, and for me that was so nice to see because I felt like there is a community of us out there.and when you see it on a website like that and the stories, it's very inspiring.

The goals of [Frontline Health] are remarkable and achievable. Many of our physicians provide consult services to remote regions, and this has proven to be a most effective, cost saving service to our medical colleagues around the province.

As a family physician who works on frontline health issues in the North end of Winnipeg, I have long felt that it is extremely important for caring corporations within our communities to assist us in our ongoing challenges as they relate to health care.

Congratulations on this important and timely initiative. I am Chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Providence Healthcare, and many of our members work on the "front lines". I look forward to future correspondence, and perhaps to opportunities.
