Bridging the Care Gap: Virtual Healthcare for low-income Canadians
Roughly one in five Canadians don’t have a primary healthcare provider, with low-income women and families facing even greater barriers to essential health services. To help more Canadians get the care they need, Sun Life is launching a program to bring virtual healthcare to underserved communities across Canada.
Through partnerships with Families Canada, United Way Greater Toronto, and Centraide of Greater Montreal, more than 10,000 program participants will receive no-cost access to health care through Dialogue. Dialogue is Canada's leading virtual healthcare and wellness platform that delivers affordable, on-demand access to quality care.
Sun Life is also contributing $500,000 in funding to support the charities’ programming, including nutrition education, physical activity initiatives, money management resources, and other programs specifically designed for low-income women and families.
