Physicians are concerned about Manitobans’ physical and mental health following two difficult pandemic years that resulted in disruptions and barriers to being healthy and keeping on top of medical concerns. Many Manitobans are rating their physical and mental health more poorly than before the pandemic, and say their own healthy habits and focus on prevention have declined over the last two years. Physicians are concerned by decreases in patients getting screened or coming in for visits to stay on top of chronic medical issues. Jump to our Summary of Research to Support the campaign.

The Live Healthy campaign provides practical tips to support Manitobans in improving their health and well-being. This includes outreach and awareness on social media and a new web resource with physicians’ advice at LiveHealthyManitoba.ca. With summer just around the corner, we hope Manitoba physicians and allied health care partners will join us in encouraging all Manitobans get back to their health, even if that’s just small steps towards living healthier.

We’ve got graphics, videos and suggested copy you can use to help spread awareness about the campaign.
