February is Heart Health Month ❤️

Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Canada—but many risk factors can be prevented or managed with early action.

Prevention starts with awareness. Take a moment to check in on your heart health and connect with your primary care team.

Your primary care provider can help you take a proactive approach to heart and vascular health. Screening early, identifying risk factors, and intervening quickly make a meaningful difference.

Now that the holiday season is winding down, it’s a great time to check in with yourself and your mental health.

Here are some tips to help you beat the post-holiday blues:

➡️ Ease back into routine. Re-establish regular sleep, meals, and movement
➡️ Stay connected. Reach out to friends, family, or coworkers. Social connection matters after a busy season.
➡️Set small, realistic goals. Focus on one or two manageable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed in the new year.

If you need support, your primary care provider, PCN or a trusted member of your health team can help connect you with supports and resources.🤍
