Millions of Canadians lack access to a dedicated primary care provider. Without timely care, many struggle to manage chronic conditions and mental health concerns, often leading to unnecessary emergency department (ED) visits. In partnership with health systems, Teladoc Health Canada’s virtual primary care program expands access by offering flexible, patient-centered care through multiple modalities. By integrating chronic disease management, mental health support, and preventive care into a team-based model, we provide proactive, coordinated care that reduces reliance on emergency services and ensures seniors, individuals in remote areas, and those without a regular doctor receive consistent, high-quality care, regardless of location. Patients benefit from virtual consultations, system navigation, and ongoing monitoring that empower them to manage their health more effectively. With early data showing reduced ED visits, improved patient understanding, and better chronic disease outcomes, join us for a discussion on how virtual primary care serves as a scalable model for improving population health.
