Become the CEO of Your Health

02/02/2026

PHAM started as one voice and one bold belief: healthcare can be different.

Four years later, it has become our movement — built by healthcare professionals, community leaders, and everyday people who refuse to wait until something breaks to take charge of their health.

There’s something deeply symbolic about being on the road to Ottawa as we launch PHAM 2026.

This reflection is both gratitude for what we’ve built together and a clear invitation forward, to keep transforming how we care for ourselves, our communities, and future generations.

This isn’t a moment.

It’s a movement.

And we’re just getting started.

Gratitude for Elizabeth’s in Downtown Georgetown! 💕

Elizabeth’s has been a place I’ve shopped for years, so it’s no surprise to me how incredible they are.

What makes this family run boutique so special isn’t just the beautiful clothing they carry, it’s the heart and care they put into everything they do.

Heather, Erin, and the entire team at Elizabeth’s go above and beyond to make every customer feel listened to, valued, and cared for.

During a very emotional and challenging season in my life, they showed such patience, kindness, and compassion. When I fell in love with a mother of the groom dress, I wasn’t ready to commit. They set it aside without hesitation, checked in gently, and when the timing was right, they made sure everything, right down to the alterations, was handled quickly and flawlessly.

On my son’s wedding day, I not only felt like a million bucks, but the compliments have continued to pour in ever since.

From the rehearsal outfit to the big day, Elizabeth’s made sure I was taken care of, and the memories I now have are ones I will cherish forever.

Elizabeth’s is a true community gem — a boutique that’s so much more than a store.

Whether you’re shopping for bridal, a special occasion, or everyday pieces, Heather, Erin, and their team are where it’s at.

Thank you for being the kind of business that leads with heart. Georgetown is lucky to have you. 🌸Downtown Georgetown

The Month is Ending, But The MOVEMENT is Just Beginning! 🚀💙

This February, Preventative Health Awareness Month (PHAM) sparked a shift—but imagine what we could achieve if this became the new normal.

📊 PHAM 2025 by the Numbers:

✔️ Thousands engaged through live events, expert panels, and digital resources

✔️ Countless conversations started on proactive health & wellness

✔️ Uniting Canadians from coast to coast with one shared mission: putting prevention first

Yet, despite all the progress, we’re only scratching the surface of what’s possible when we put healthcare back where it belongs—with YOU.

You are the CEO of your own health. And in a world where chronic disease is on the rise, wait times are unbearable, and reactive medicine reigns supreme, it’s time for a paradigm shift.

Imagine a healthcare system where preventative health is the standard, not the exception—where access to holistic, complementary, and integrative care isn’t a luxury, but a necessity. Where you have the knowledge, tools, and power to make informed choices before health issues arise.

That’s what this MOVEMENT is about. PHAM doesn’t end with February—it starts here.

Together, we’re creating a future where Canadians take charge of their well-being, where proactive care is the norm, and where health isn’t about fixing problems but preventing them.

This is just the beginning. Who’s ready to lead the change? 🙌
