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.

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

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 will accommodate people with disabilities during the recruitment, selection and hiring processes.

Career Growth: Internal talent mobility and growth are an integral part of our success. Employees are empowered to own their career development and have rewarding experiences in a variety of work areas.
