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!

What if your next prescription wasn’t meant to be filled at the drugstore, but at a recreation facility?

Prescription to Get Active (RxTGA) empowers healthcare professionals to provide a written prescription for physical activity. Patients who receive one gain FREE trial access to participating recreation facilities, community programs, plus free ongoing options like short online exercise breaks, local trail maps and drop-in sport sessions, with no pressure to join and no judgment, just the freedom to explore, find what feels right and start safely and confidently.

Physical activity is part of preventive care and chronic disease management. RxTGA makes it practical and accessible.

If increasing your activity has been on your mind, consider asking your primary care provider about a Prescription to Get Active at your next appointment.
