Advice for patients on how to get healthy

Many people make New Year resolutions to get and stay healthy.  Doctors want to empower patients reach and maintain this goal all year-round.

That’s why a group of doctors at the Burnaby Division of Family Practice created a series of 19 videos that provide information on everything from how to navigate the health care system to taking a proactive approach to good health.

Based on a speaker series hosted by Dr Davidicus Wong, the collection features:

• “Making Sense of Symptoms” (13 videos)
• “Why Emotional Health Matters” (3 videos)
• “Navigating Your Hospital Stay” (3 videos)

In addition to multimedia, patients can access downloadable info sheets and presentation notes on additional topics, including diabetes, healthy diets, and medical ethics.

Divisions of Family Practice is an initiative of the General Practice Services Committee, a joint committee of the Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC.  Divisions are community-based groups of family physicians working together to achieve common health care goals. There are more than 30 Divisions of Family Practice in BC that encompass approximately 130 communities.
