Toronto East School Support (TESS)
A new forum created by East Toronto Family Practice Network (EasT-FPN) and Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) for our local schools to ask questions on how they can implement the health guidelines while operating schools during the pandemic. This includes practical COVID-19 information, supportive networks for our schools and the opportunity for a Questions & Answers with Dr. Janine McCready, Associate Director, Infection Prevention and Control, specialist at Michael Garron Hospital.
Who is it for?
Principals of local East Toronto public schools.
How it works:
A virtual video/teleconference on a regular basis. There will be updates by Dr. Janine McCready, as well as other health and non-health speakers providing relevant information and/or resources.
A Q&A session with Dr. Janine McCready will follow the updates. Please submit your questions in advance of each session.
This forum is by invite only so if this is pertinent and of interest to you, contact us to receive a calendar invite that will be updated with materials in advance.
