Note: At Medavie, we turned the calendar to 2024 with a renewed commitment to excellence in everything we do, inspired by our wins as one of Atlantic Canada’s Best Places to Work and Atlantic Business Magazine’s Readers’ Choice for Atlantic Canada’s Best Health Insurer for the fourth consecutive year. The following article appears in the January issue of Atlantic Business magazine where the awards announcements were made.
As a national health solutions partner, Medavie is always looking at new and innovative ways to deliver on its mission to improve the wellbeing of Canadians.
You can see evidence of its future-focused, people-centred approach to health care and delivery in the eight provinces where Medavie operates, backed by the strength of a team of 8,000-plus professionals — more than 6,400 of whom live and work in Atlantic Canada — and its partnerships with provincial and federal governments.
Medavie is building on a legacy of collaboration, innovation and vision that was established in 1943 when a group of like-minded individuals got together in Pictou, Nova Scotia, to respond to a growing need for affordable hospital care.
Eighty years later, the co-operative they formed to help cover the costs of hospitalization has evolved into an organization that that integrates benefits management, health management and health care delivery through the operating companies of Medavie Health Services (MHS) and Medavie Blue Cross (MBC). The scope of Medavie is reflected in its name, a bilingual hybrid of the words medical (‘med’) to life (or ‘à vie’, en français).
