Our Values
At Iridia, corporate values call us to action, guide our decisions, and influence our behaviour. We make great efforts to ensure that we are living our values at all times, including assessing team performance through the lens of our values system. To see just how serious we are about our values, you can see this post on our blog: Whatโs the Big Deal About Core Values Anyway?
Iridia has eight corporate values, as shown here.
Our Evolution
How we started:
In 1997, a mill suffers a heart-wrenching loss when two staff members collapse and die of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Back then, only ambulance attendants and fire rescue personnel had access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs). This event, while tragic, led Dr. Allan Holmes to found Iridia Medical.
Where we are:
Since then, we have been dedicated to preparing and empowering people to respond to adversity. While we continue to provide broader access to AEDs and medical support across the province, we’ve used our knowledge and experience to adapt.
Our Remote Care Services division serves BC’s natural resources industries by providing workplace safety to remote sites around the province. We have also been in the forefront of providing COVID-19 testing and support for businesses across all industries.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
At Iridia Medical, we deeply value the diversity of our team membersโ backgrounds, recognizing the invaluable perspectives they bring to our collective mission. We are committed to fostering a dynamic and ethical environment, where all team members are supported in their personal and professional development and feel empowered to contribute their ideas.
The name โIridia Medicalโ exemplifies our inclusive ethos, born from collaborative decision-making that integrates the diverse voices of our staff into the very fabric of our organization and workplace culture.
Moreover, based on our values of lifelong learning, social responsibility, honesty, and teamwork, we acknowledge that our journey toward EDI is continuous. We are dedicated to cooperative improvement and learning in this area.


Our Team
Iridia Medical is the product of a broad cross-section of backgrounds and life experiences. We’re very proud of our diverse, hand-picked team of skilled, self-motivated, highly engaged individuals as our staff, educators, consultants, and paramedics.
We embrace the varied perspectives that stem from our staffโs diverse backgrounds. We encourage applications from individuals from all walks of life and are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment, where every member can contribute to our collective goals.
