A month ago, the future of DrPHealth was put out to the readership with some specific questions.
Should the site continue? Eight votes were registered in favour of continuation. One vote suggested it was time to wind up.
Three of the respondents recommended abandoning the anonymity guise.
Ten recommended marketing the site more and expanding its reach.
The bottom line is that only thirteen votes were received, and while those that voted were supportive, the underwhelming engagement is noted.
For the current time, DrPHealth will continue intermittently, responding to the very issues that need to be exposed in the Canadian public health realm.
There are numerous posts that reflect state of the science reviews and analysis of the Canadian system and continue to be referenced frequently enough to warrant the site remaining active. The original target of 10,000 views will likely be reached later this year and a definitive decision made at that time.
In the meantime, DrPHealth would still like to hear from you as the reader about issues that are current in your community, province or nationally that need comment and exposure. Drphealth@gmail.com
Enjoy the summer, remember to stay safe.
