Caregiving can take many forms. It can look like helping a parent, supporting a partner, or caring for a child or family member. It’s often done quietly and over time, it can take a toll.
That’s why it’s important to check in with yourself and recognize the signs of burnout. Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion resulting from prolonged, chronic stress. Key symptoms include:

➡️Constant fatigue
➡️ Sleep disruptions
➡️ Irritability and hopelessness
You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Your PCN is here to support you and the people you care for.
From mental health support to connecting you with local programs and resources, your PCN can help you stay on top of your own health while you care for others. Visit https://hpcn.ca to learn more.

Your wellness journey starts with something as simple as a conversation.

A Prescription to Get Active (RxTGA) begins by asking your healthcare provider for a prescription.

Your healthcare professional will review your health history, discuss your goals and determine if activity is appropriate. They can provide a written prescription that connects you with participating facilities for a variety of activities, online programs and more opportunities for activity in your community.

Clear guidance, and a practical FREE first step. If you would like support getting started, bring it up at your next visit.

Today, Tuesday, April 7 is World Health Day 🌍🩺

This year's theme, “Together for health. Stand with science”, celebrates the power of scientific collaboration to protect the health of people, animals, plants and the planet.

Research shows patients who have a continuous relationship with a family doctor and team are healthier, live longer and are hospitalized less.

Highland PCN's collaborative, team-based approach to primary care can help you achieve and maintain your health goals.

Women represent a significant proportion of family doctors across PCNs, reflecting the invaluable contributions they make to primary care, patients and communities.

We asked a member, “What advice would she give a young woman considering a career in medicine?”

"I would encourage any young woman considering medicine to pursue it. It’s a meaningful career and a privilege to practice. Just don’t let it become the only thing that defines you. Keep fostering your hobbies, relationships and life outside of medicine along the way. Stay well-rounded. This will serve both you and your patients as it will make you a happier person, and therefore a better doctor.” — Dr. Lama Mouneimne, PCN family doctor

On Canadian Women Physicians Day, we invite you to join us in recognizing and celebrating all women family doctors. We appreciate the care they provide, the relationships they build, and the way they show up for patients and teams.
