Connecting to our Purpose

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.

Cultivating Healthy Food Skills

Healthy living can be a community effort, and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia is coming together to do just that. The Dartmouth North Community Food Centre opened its doors in 2015. Its programs and community volunteers are supporting healthy food choices and reducing food insecurity for thousands of people. Not only that, it’s created a safe space for a community to come together, and work together, towards a healthier future for all.

Creating Mental Health Resiliency

Dans la rue in Montreal cares for the immediate needs of homeless and at-risk youth, and helps them acquire the skills and resources to lead healthy, autonomous, and rewarding lives. The Medavie Health Foundation’s support will help enable psychologists and a music therapist to assist in addressing the mental health issues associated with being homeless for youth without a diagnosed mental illness.
