The Pulse

The Pulse was our monthly eNewsletter that provided our members updates on Division activities and projects, as well as member engagement opportunities. Each month, in collaboration with our partners, our members would also receive information about clinical programs and services as well as practitioner updates that help them care for patients. The publication transitioned to the Weekly Division Update at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 as there was a need to disseminate the evolving information rapidly to our family physician members.

 

The Bulletin

The Bulletin was one of our monthly eNewsletters that provided our members updates on Division activities/projects and member engagement opportunities. This publication has been merged with our other former eNewsletter, Clinical Notes, to create The Pulse.

 

Clinical Notes

Clinical Notes provided North Shore members with information about clinical programs and services as well as practitioner updates that helped them care for their patients, in collaboration with our community partners. This publication has been merged with our other former eNewsletter, The Bulletin, to create The Pulse.
