About LiveWell

Providing accessible, personalized, evidence-based community wellness programming across Nova Scotia

Live Well is a group exercise program that focuses on improving the physical and mental health of Nova Scotians with chronic conditions.*

LiveWell programs:

Create smooth transitions for patients between hospital care and community health.
Deliver care in the most appropriate setting for promoting and sustaining health and wellness.
Improve health outcomes of individuals with a focus on secondary prevention and chronic disease self-management.
Reduce health disparities through the elimination of both real and perceived barriers to participation.

LiveWell supports both physician and self-referrals and offers a comprehensive intake process, supervision, and progression within a socially supportive environment. It embraces a person-centric approach that focuses on secondary prevention and chronic disease self-management. LiveWell encourages participants to take control of their own health.

*Chronic conditions are defined broadly as conditions that last one year or more and require ongoing medical attention, or limit activities of daily or both.
