Investing in Saskatchewan communities
Envisioning a future where there is equitable access to health and wellness information for everyone, and each person in Saskatchewan understands how to navigate their healthcare effectively.
Caring for the health and wellness of Saskatchewan, together.
We take the health and wellness of our members, our clients and our communities seriously.
Community Investment is at the heart of who we are and how we define success. The care, commitment,
and dedication our employees show to those we serve is remarkable — and building community is one of our core values.
We’re proud to be a leader in community engagement, investing our time, resources, and spirit to strengthen the Saskatchewan communities we call home. Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework, we bring our mission — to empower our communities on their journey to whole health and wellness — to life.
Our vision is a future where everyone has equitable access to health and wellness information and the knowledge to navigate their care confidently. We invest in organizations that promote health literacy, community health and wellbeing, and diversity and inclusion — creating purposeful impact and lasting change across Saskatchewan.
