Episode Details

St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto partners with a local shelter to protect homeless individuals from hypothermia during harsh winters. This collaboration has successfully transferred 76 people to warm beds, preventing them from being sent back into freezing nights when shelters are full. The partnership has been particularly effective, moving 51 people to safety in just three weeks this January. Healthcare workers, deeply affected by these cases, have saved four lives on the edge in the past two winters. Cold-related deaths are on the rise in Ontario, with a 46% jump in emergency visits for cold injuries among unhoused people last winter. Experts and advocates call for more action to prevent these preventable deaths.
