Fostering a culture of wellness

For more than 75 years, Medavie Blue Cross has focused on caring for Canadians. The organization has been built on a culture of collaboration that is continuously evolving to meet the needs of clients, partners and employees, who are all contributors in its success. That culture has earned Medavie Blue Cross a coveted place in the Hall of Fame of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures.

“We have thousands of people throughout the country who start each morning with the purpose of helping others,” says Medavie CEO Bernard Lord. “We excel by living our values every day, whether as customer service representatives, disability case managers, IT professionals or leaders. They are values that permeate throughout the organization both inside and out. I believe many of our clients and partners work with us because they align with these values and understand the purpose that comes with what we do.”
