RxTGA: Prescribe physical activity

Aug 26, 2024

With Prescription to Get Active (RxTGA), you can prescribe physical activity to your patients and grant access to community recreation and other resources.

All physician members are eligible to participate in the RxTGA program as prescribers.

Three ways to give eligible patients a prescription:

  • Verbally during a virtual or phone appointment; the patient can then register with the program on the RxTGA website or by calling 1.866.212.7552 (toll free)
  • The EMR form (integrated into Accuro, AVA, CHR, Health Quest, Med Access, and PS Suite) during in-person visits
  • The RxTGA pad during in-person visits

With a prescription, your patient gains many benefits (get a one-page overview):

  • Free trial access to participating recreation and fitness facilities
  • No-obligation trials for online movement and exercise videos led by qualified fitness instructors
  • Remote engagement and behavioural support
  • Downloadable guides (e.g., Balance Guide for Seniors, Stretching Program)

Our goal is to provide you with the most helpful information, tools, and support systems so you can concentrate on what’s most important: Your patients.
