Lynda Theoret at the Ottawa Hospital Home Infusion Program oversees the training and care of over 200 patients - most of whom are living with immunodeficiencies or neurological conditions.
Until now her position has been funded through industry grants, but through recent changes, those funding streams are no longer available. The hospital has not been able to commit to funding Lynda's post and without intervention her days at the hospital are limited.
We have put a plan to the Province of Ontario to secure her position and are continuing to advocate tirelessly on that end. But, we need patient voices. If you would like to see Lynda continue in her post and continue to provide the quality care that she is known for, please sign this petition.
We hope to present this petition both to the hospital and to the province.
Thank you for your support,

I was diagnosed with CVID in 2014. Every step of the way Lynda has been there. From the initial treatment and showing me how to do SCIG to being available to all patients who have questions or needs. I can't imagine how we would be able survive without her there for all of us.
Lynda has been a god sent to my family and daughter. with out her we would be totally lost in this process. she is there for use when ever we have a question or concern. no matter how big or small.
My son is Hyper IF in Toronto and the difference an experience worker makes can't be appreciated enough.
Don’t take her away when so many need her! Keeping such an amazing link in the community when so many work so well with her is key for the health support of her patients.
lynda is the greatest nurse i have ever had and is always there for her patients to answer and questions or concerns that they may have concerning anything. please done let her be let go the patients and families need her
I would hope that the province could secure Lynda Theoret's position. From all the testimonials I have read this nurse seems to go above and beyond medical procedures to provide overall quality care. I have a personal friend of mine that has received care and she commented "Friends, many of you know about my health situation and the excellent care I have received at the Ottawa Hospital. There are over 200 of us in this area that rely on a single nurse to check our IG levels, give us encouragement and provide supplies and support. She tirelessly teaches others and educates herself to better serve us." In these testimonials you can hear the extensive care that Lynda has given her patients, well above the medical side of things. Please ensure that this amazing nurse is able to continue to provide this support to all the patients that she sees. Thank you Sandy Robertson
Lynda has such heart for her job and her patients!

This nursing position provides essential service to the Immunodeficiency patient population. The risk to this vulnerable patient group of cutting back this nursing position, far outweighs any imagined benefit to the health care system plan. Full and proper risk benefit analysis and transparency in such decisions is expected of decision-makers, by the Canadian population.
