📣 Hot off the heels of our last distinction from Deloitte (nearly topping the Technology Fast 50 Canada list), we’re very proud to be ranked 7th on Deloitte’s Technology #Fast500 North America list for 2024! 🎉 It’s not easy to take on some of healthcare’s most unique and complex challenges—but our teams at Freddie, Frida, Foria and Affirming Care Pharmacy all know how important it is to improve access and deliver the highest quality of care to our patients every day. Why do we do it? Because we get to see the direct impact we have through daily comments like these: “I truly appreciate how they foster an environment of trust and support, where discussions about my identity and experiences are welcomed without judgment. Freddie PrEP offers a vital service and creates a nurturing space for individuals like me to thrive. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and respect I’ve received here, and I wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone seeking a compassionate and affirming healthcare experience!” “Finally found validation and I now have hope for the future! The process was not scary or intimidating at all. I felt listened to and believed. I was able to receive an ADHD diagnosis within 2 weeks of signing up compared to the current wait time of 18 months to see a psychiatrist.” “This clinic literally saved my life. I was on a waitlist for 2 years for government hormone therapy, and Foria got me started as soon as I had my first appointment. They’ve been clear and easy to work with the whole time, and the results are showing.” Hearing it firsthand from our patients is one thing, but we’re also deeply grateful for the validation of our work through programs like this one. The Technology Fast 500 is an award program that recognizes the fastest-growing companies across the technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech sectors in North America.   Check out the full list of winners: https://lnkd.in/ev8PTq8

We’re not just levelling up—we’re skyrocketing! 🚀 💅🏽 Thrilled to announce that PurposeMed has soared to becoming Canada’s second fastest-growing company on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50! With an astounding 16,169% growth over the past four years, this recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, our commitment to innovation, and the trust our patients and partners place in us every day. From making the Companies-to-Watch list last year to climbing into the Fast 50 in 2024, we’ve come a long way—and we’re still early in our journey! 🌟 Just to highlight (a very tiny portion of) the incredible work our team has done and some milestones we’ve hit together: 23,000+ Freddie patients accessing HIV prevention for the first time 20,000+ patients accessing behavioral health support through Frida   3,000+ gender-affirming care and mental health consultations in just over a year through Foria $2.7M+ in saved medication costs for patients through Affirming Care Pharmacy All of this translates to many lives we’ve helped change for the better: 150 cases of HIV prevented annually, $185M saved by the government per year in future healthcare costs, and 13,500+ ADHD patients experiencing a better quality of life while under our team’s care. We’re proud first and foremost of achieving so many positive outcomes for our patients, but are also grateful for this recognition from the business community.

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we are beyond excited to announce a new partnership between Foria and NorWest Community Health Centres. Starting today, anyone living in and around Thunder Bay can access Foria's services for free. These services are virtual hormone therapy and surgical assessments/referrals. This is a huge step to ensure more equitable access to virtual gender-affirming care for trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people in Ontario. It comes a year after Connect-Clinic - Foria's predecessor - was forced to close due to provincial billing code changes. Our mission is to offer our care at no cost across the province, and we hope it is the first of many such partnerships. To learn more about Foria and book appointments, please visit https://lnkd.in/gBxbziih.
