The PEI's pandemic response has included proactive public health measures, management of border crossings, case and contact
management, and personal protective equipment procurement and distribution, to ensure health and safety of the population.
$8.4 million has been invested to implement the EMR (electronic medical record) solution, with additional investment from
Canada Health Infoway, to enhance access to health information, including immunization registry and COVID-19 test results.
The Patient Medical Homes (PMHs) and Neighborhoods initiative provides team-based care in communities across the province,
it's instrumental in improving access to care by bringing services closer to those who need it.

doctors recruited are family physicians, 23 doctors hired are specialists. 36 And 101 new registered nurses were hired in 2021 with

There is now a dedicated mental health unit at Hillsborough Hospital, which manages complex mental health needs that
previously would have struggled to find the right care on the Island. The Mobile Mental Health Response Service, launched in
2021, has either a registered nurse or a social worker to assess and connect callers to the care and services needed. 37
$4 million provincial and federal funding has made Methadone, Suboxone, Probuphine, Sublocade for treating addiction to
opioid, as well as Acamprosate and Naltrexone for treating alcohol addiction free for people with prescriptions.43
Additional financial assistance and coverage for diabetes-related supplies, ostomy supplies, fertility support, shingles vaccines,
UTI assessment and smoking cessation.
Overall, PEI has made significant advancements in healthcare in recent years. We must continue this trajectory of improvement, with
emphasis on equity and inclusion to ensure care is available to all residents of the Island.
