Our Getting Healthy public continues to spotlight physician expertise — and we need your help this fall and winter. 

Summer rewind: But first, let’s celebrate our first-ever outreach team of medical students who hit the road across Manitoba, sharing evidence-based tips from doctors to help Manitobans get healthy. 

• Thousands joined the SummerToba Challenge — pledging to make one small change for their health. 
• Winners took home some amazing prizes! 

🏆 Summer’s over, but for our winners the fun continues:

• Gayle Erlendson will be tracking her progress with the help of her Fitness Tracker Prize Pack with a tracker and Getting Healthy swag. 
• Frances Friesen, Jade Raizenne and Sonia Van Den Bosch took home Pump It Up Prize Packs, including a Getting Healthy water bottle, air couch, picnic blanket, and other goodies. 
• And Hope Levesque is the Grand Prize Winner of $5,000 in groceries! Her husband Matthew and baby Mathéo were also excited to pick up the prize and continue on for a family shopping trip! 

Now it’s your turn:
We’re looking for physicians to share trusted, practical tips for Manitobans about preventing disease and living healthier, longer lives. 

Requests from the public include information and advice about: 

• Menopause
• Better sleep
• Reducing stress or screen time 
• Winter falls prevention 
• Hearing and vision loss 
• Preventing chronic disease (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, stroke)
