Dear [Candidate's Name],
My name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent in [Your Riding]. I am writing to express my concerns about the current state of pain management in Ontario and the need for better access to evidence-based care for people living with chronic pain. Nearly 3 million Ontarians—one in five—live with chronic pain, impacting every aspect of life and contributing to anxiety, depression,and financial strain. In 2019 alone, chronic pain cost Canada $40 billion in healthcare and lost productivity, yet better pain management could improve lives and reduce costs.
Healthcare is the top priority among voters, with a focus on ensuring everyone has a family doctor. Yet, despite pain being a leading reason for seeking care, 2.5 million Ontarians lack a family doctor, limiting access to even basic pain management. I urge you to make chronic pain care a priority in your health platform. Your leadership can drive meaningful change for millions of Ontarians, their families, and our economy.
I’ve attached a brief from Pain Ontario, a newly incorporated non-partisan, non-profit organization, with further details. Please reach out if you’d like to discuss this issue further or arrange a meeting.
Thank you for your time and commitment.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
