I am excited to be part of an amazing journey that will truly change Canada's health services landscape."

Terry's vision is to continue expanding on the innovative medical services currently offered by the company.  "We know the market is changing.  We know that employee health and wellness is at the forefront of many corporate strategies, and we also know that companies who operate in a safety sensitive environment need a partner to help them understand and mitigate their risk. We will continue to support our clients through excellence in service delivery by introducing new products and services, expanding our service delivery platform and acquiring strategic partners" says Power. "As our corporate clients become more invested in the relationship between employee health and the health of their balance sheets, we want to ensure our suite of offerings continue to meet their changing healthcare needs."
