Dr C. Ben Boucher BSc MD obtained his BSc Honors Biology from St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, NS in 1973. He graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree from Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS in 1978.
Dr Ben practiced family medicine, including at times obstetrical and emergency medicine in a rural setting from 1979 to 2013. He retired in 2015.
An interest in preventive health services was present and incorporated into his practice from the beginning. In 1998, he authored the Body Owner’s Manuals which addressed Health Promotion and Illness and Injury Prevention for pregnancy and five age groups from infancy to seniors.
Over the past few years, Dr Boucher expanded his concept of wellness and developed a website that addresses the three main areas of wellness: Health Promotion, Illness and Injury Prevention and Self Care. The fourth area is Treatment. As a retired physician, he used his years of experience to create this site.
Dr. Ben’s personal wellness involves numerous prevention and promotion activities, especially walking with weights, nature hikes, biking, and swimming.
