Why Medcan

Medcan is a pioneer of proactive health and wellness in Canada, relied on by people, families, and organizations for a smarter, more holistic approach to long-term well-being. As opposed to the traditional care structure (which usually involves curing the problem after it has developed), Medcan is all about prevention, early diagnosis, and personal assistance, i.e., keeping you healthy longer.

People prefer Medcan due to the multidisciplinary model, which involves bringing physicians, experts, dietitians, psychologists, fitness experts, and rehabilitation professionals together within a single coordinated system. This guarantees that all parameters of your health, be it physical, mental, or lifestyle, are linked, tracked and optimized with evidence-based recommendations.

Medcan programs will take care of you at all life stages. Whether to get fit, to manage a chronic health condition, to improve your nutrition, to reduce stress, to heal after an injury, to gain a deeper insight into your body by means of advanced testing, or otherwise, Medcan offers a specific plan adhering to personal needs and purposes.

Clients can access the most innovative medical care offered by the industry, such as high-level diagnostics, genetics, full-scale assessments, and data-driven knowledge. Medcan offers convenience and unparalleled clinical quality with innovative clinics, same or next-day access, and virtual care.

The keystone of Medcan philosophy is healthspan, which is the number of years you can live in optimum health. Medcan empowers you to develop habits and strategies that foster long-term vitality, resilience, and performance by recognizing risks at their outset and supplying the means to alter your course.

Medcan is a reliable, tested avenue to a lifetime of healthy living, whether you are an individual interested in personal well-being or a company interested in improving employee health.

Access Your Health

Advanced diagnostics and expert care, all in one place
The beginning of knowing your health is access to the appropriate assessments, diagnostics and expert-guided help. Medcan provides a complete ecosystem of services aimed at providing you with all the clarity, confidence, and control over all elements of your wellbeing.

  • Enhanced Health Assessments: To get more information, there are Enhanced Health Assessments that are specific to assessments of heart, sleep, liver, vision, and whole body health. These sophisticated instruments aid in the discovery of conditions that conventional testing might not reveal.
  • Galleri Multi-Cancer Screening: This is an advanced blood test offered by Medcan that is capable of identifying a signal that is related to over 50 different cancers – most of which can be detected even before the onset of symptoms. It facilitates early detection and better results, particularly in those who are at high risk.
  • Specialist Health Services: We provide clients with an opportunity to access dermatology, orthopedics, audiology, physiatry, pain management, travel health, etc., with the help of the interdisciplinary network of Medcan.
  • Men’s Health: Men are also able to enjoy special programs that focus on hormonal health, vitality, cardiovascular risks, prostate issues and the detection of early diseases by using Men’s Health programs offered by Medcan.
