The evolution of Medavie over the years
Lord says that beyond group insurance, Medavie offers ambulance and paramedical services. It mainly funds projects focusing on the psychological health of young people, type 2 diabetes and post-traumatic stress.
Founded in 1943 in Nova Scotia, Medavie is a private, not-for-profit corporation with two subsidiaries – Medavie Blue Cross and Medavie Health Services - and a foundation, the Medavie Health Foundation. Since then, Medavie has never stopped evolving toward a pan-Canadian expansion of its health and insurance services.
