The middle of winter is the prime hockey season for many Canadians, be it the neighborhood's frozen pond or, if restrictions allow, the local rink!

Fitting a workout session into our schedule is usually about convenience - should you get it out of the way before work or before dinner? But the time of day we exercise is also important for how well we perform, too https://www.nytimes.com//the-best-time-of-day-to-exercise.

In recognition of February being Black History Month, Lifemark Health Group is making a donation to the Black Health Alliance in support of their work to improve the health and well-being of Black communities in Canada. One of their notable initiatives is Pathways to Care, a 5-year project aimed at removing barriers and improving access to mental health and addictions services for Black children, youth and their families. As a healthcare organization committed to caring for... others, Lifemark Health Group continues to take positive steps towards building a workforce that fully reflects the diverse communities where we live and work. Diversity enables us to better represent and serve all sectors, including the Black community. A benchmark survey on Lifemark Health Group’s nation-wide workforce by the Diversity & Inclusion Committee has been conducted, and the data is driving comprehensive action plans for 2021 and beyond.
