April Fool’s! 😉
Not all health information online is accurate, even when it’s popular.
Before you share or believe what you see online:
⁉️ Ask questions
🔎 Check the source
👩‍⚕️ Talk to a trusted health provider
PCNs and your primary care provider are credible sources that can help you navigate health information. They can answer your questions about different claims with your personal medical history in mind and refer you to appropriate support!

Feeling a little off today? ⏰ The time change can disrupt your body’s internal clock, leaving many people feeling tired or low on energy. As you adjust this week, small habits can help your body get back on track.

Try keeping a consistent bedtime tonight, getting outside for some daylight, moving your body during the day and limiting caffeine later in the afternoon. These simple sleep hygiene habits can help restore your energy and support better sleep.

Taking care of your sleep is an important part of your overall health. If you need support, start the conversation with your primary care team.

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.
