Prescription To Get Active: Spring has sprung!

Spring has sprung!

The weather is gorgeous in the Leduc, Beaumont and Devon areas! Even though we promote outdoor activity throughout the year, we know it can be difficult to get outside in our harsh winter climate. Let's shake the cobwebs off and get moving!

Please take a moment to look through out previous blog posts to see outdoor options for activity throughout Leduc. The interactive Google Map will point the way and has pictures of each location. People tell us this is very helpful to see what a location looks like before going there.

We will add more local locations soon. If you have any suggestions for locations, please email Candra Tinis, LBD PCN Communications Coordinator, here.

Prescription to Get Active

The Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network has partnered with local municipalities in a unique venture where local family physicians prescribe physical activity to patients who they feel would benefit from increased activity.

With each "Prescription to Get Active", doctors are able to prescribe the intensity, duration and frequency of activity a patient is required to undertake to help prevent future medical issues such as heart and lung conditions and diabetes.

Regular physical exercise has been shown to improve health and quality of life, as well as significantly reducing the risks of chronic disease, disability and premature death.

In addition to local recreation facility opportunities, there are many free, outdoor locations in our region where the community can participate in increasing activity.
