Together, we’re bringing Canadians better health and access to care. We believe healthcare isn’t always about treatment. It can also be about prevention. We work to uncover and address what causes health challenges and treat the cause, not just the symptoms. It’s a focus that spans everything we do from the unique projects and programs within Medavie Blue Cross and our sister company Medavie Health Services, to initiatives the Medavie Health Foundation supports and funds like those you see below.
