Who we are

We’re a team of over 8,000 professionals serving clients from coast-to-coast with operations in most provinces. We provide health benefits to nearly 1 in 10 Canadians and manage emergency medical services for nearly 1 in 15 Canadians.

We’ve been a leading health services partner for individuals, employers and governments across Canada for 80 years and a premier all-in-one carrier that provides health, dental, travel, life and disability benefits to individuals and organizations.

We've been recognized as one of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures, one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, and an Imagine Caring Company.

 

What we value

Our values are inherent to our culture and provide the framework for each interaction we have and transaction we make, while providing a clear set of expectations to empower employees to do the right thing for everyone we serve. We are:

Caring – We show compassion in everything we do

Accountable – We follow through on our commitments

Responsive – We have the courage to act and adapt

More than simply a poster on the wall, our mission of improving the wellbeing of Canadians represents the purpose of our organization ― and we align that with our culture.

 

What we give back

As a not-for-profit organization, we don’t answer to shareholders. Instead, we invest our earnings in our business, our communities and, most importantly, our employees. We use some of these earnings to support:

Programs to support causes that are close to our employees' hearts, matching the volunteer hours and donations they contribute

An annual United Way workplace campaign led by employees in each of our locations

The Medavie Foundation, which invests in community initiatives and organizations that improve the wellbeing of Canadians, focuses on some of the most pressing mental and physical health challenges facing Canadians.

 

We want to meet you as you are

At Medavie Blue Cross, we foster a culture of openness, understanding and a sense of belonging where everyone can bring their true selves to work.
