"A sense of connectedness allows us to better adapt to life's many challenges. Loneliness can chip away at our psychological
well-being and impact our physical health. But, you can do other things to cope with feelings of loneliness and regain your sense
of belonging. Building a support network is another great way to reduce loneliness and the impact of its consequences."

The negative consequences of isolation from family and community supports are an added burden to a patient coping with illness in
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. In-patients, regardless of their location, can have a video visit with their families in
their home communities. It is also possible to link multiple communities at the same time. Any nurse can arrange this visit for their
patient. Contact the Telemedicine Department at (807) 684-6715.
