Don't have a copy of your medical record? You're not alone. Health experts say it should be an election issue | CBC News
Advocates and experts hope access to medical records will be a priority for the next elected government — but there's been little mention of the issue throughout the federal election campaign.

Caregiving can test you, body and soul. It can also unlock a new sense of self
