Absolutely. Everyone, including health professionals, has access to the information available on MyWell Health. It has been designed to encourage discussion and information gathering with the aim to improve overall health literacy and self-advocacy. We do not provide specific medical guidance or advice. We believe the Mywell Health planning activities, tools (fillable PDFs), and resource kit may support your teaching and practice. Please review the Terms of Use & Disclaimers for additional information.

Yes, we believe in sharing MyWell Health with anyone facing health challenges in BC. Our resource kit includes links to many government, non-profit, and health authority websites. If you’d like to link to or share our website, please email mywellhealthinc@gmail.com. 

Mywell Health helps you create a personalized health and lifestyle plan. We offer activities with questions, discussion points, and suggestions to help you gather information, plus a resource kit with definitions, evidence-based information, links to services, educational materials, and videos. You choose how you want to record and store your information, whether in print and/or digitally, to make all your learning and decision-making into a tangible planner.

Mywell Health tools include fillable PDFs to record your personal information and choices. These tools can be downloaded and saved to your device (computer, tablet, or phone). Start by adding your name and date on the first page, and it will auto-populate throughout the tool. Each person should have their own planner, this is especially important for your Health Profile and Medications List. We recommend backing up your files to cloud storage (e.g., Dropbox or Google Drive) for easy access on your phone, to share with others, and as a backup across multiple devices.

Important note: Mywell Health Inc. does not store or access your information online.

Yes! Each of the topics includes several activities and tools to choose from. Many discussion points or questions may suggest you research and gather information that is useful to your health and lifestyle plan. You choose how you want to store your information in print and/or digital formats.

Create a Digital Health & Lifestyle Planner

Label a folder “(Your Name) Mywell Health Planner” (e.g., Jane Doe Mywell Health Planner). Inside, create subfolders for each topic (e.g., My Health Information, My People, My Day to Day). Each topic should have its own folder to store additional documents. Save completed tools in the appropriate folders and scan any documents you collect to the relevant topic folder.

Create a Print Health & Lifestyle Planner
Label a ring binder “(Your Name) Mywell Health Planner” (e.g., Jane Doe Mywell Health Planner). Label dividers for each topic (e.g., My Health Information, My People, My Day to Day). Each topic should have its own divider for added documents. Save completed tools in the appropriate folders and scan any documents you collect to the relevant topic divider
