Our Journey of Innovation
Pioneering Public-Access Defibrillators: Our journey began with the pioneering spirit as we launched British Columbia’s first public-access defibrillator program. We recognized the importance of rapid response in saving lives and took the lead in making life-saving equipment accessible to the public.
Frontline Medical Services in Remote Locations: As we grew, we extended our services to the remote corners of British Columbia’s natural resource sites, ensuring that even in the most challenging environments, quality healthcare remained accessible.
Supporting Communities During COVID-19: The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges. We responded by opening The Iridia Health Hub, offering critical COVID-19 testing, and providing a range of organizational health assessments to support individuals and organizations during a crisis. We were recently awarded the CEO Zero is Real Leadership Award from TC Energy, which reaffirms the great work of our team during these unprecedented times.
Expanding to Organizational Health Programs: Our commitment to improving organizational health expanded to offer mental health programs. We recognize the holistic nature of well-being, extending our services to ensure the overall health of organizations and individuals.
