Peter Phillips, the founder of 'N.B. Broken Healthcare,' has extended a personal invitation to New Brunswick's health minister to spend 24 hours in the Moncton emergency room after his own harrowing experience in the facility.
A Personal Healthcare Crisis
The invitation comes directly from Phillips' recent 24-hour ordeal in the Moncton ER, an experience that left him deeply concerned about the state of emergency healthcare in New Brunswick. His prolonged wait time highlights the ongoing challenges facing the province's healthcare system.
Peter Phillips created the advocacy group 'N.B. Broken Healthcare' to draw attention to systemic issues within the provincial medical system. His personal experience in the emergency department has now become a catalyst for direct action and political engagement.
Direct Challenge to Health Leadership
Phillips isn't just sharing his story - he's demanding that health officials witness the reality firsthand. His invitation to the health minister represents a bold move to bridge the gap between policy makers and the daily experiences of patients.
The situation in Moncton reflects broader concerns about emergency care accessibility across New Brunswick. Twenty-four hour waits have become increasingly common, creating stressful and potentially dangerous situations for patients requiring immediate medical attention.
Growing Healthcare Advocacy Movement
Phillips' organization continues to gather momentum as more New Brunswickers share their own healthcare stories. The group serves as a platform for residents to voice concerns about hospital wait times, doctor shortages, and emergency room conditions.
The published account on November 22, 2025 has sparked renewed conversation about healthcare reform in the province. As winter approaches and seasonal health concerns increase, the timing of Phillips' advocacy could not be more critical for prompting government action.
Whether the health minister accepts Phillips' invitation remains to be seen, but the public challenge has certainly brought additional scrutiny to emergency healthcare conditions in Moncton and throughout New Brunswick.
