Satori Health is changing how healthcare is delivered by addressing the root causes of the system’s dysfunction; practitioner burnout, siloed expertise and reactive care.
By assigning patients a Health Plan Coordinator (HPC) - responsible for providing them with guidance, continued connection and proactive support – they are greatly improving the patient experience.
Cherry Health has partnered with Ava to bring you a hyper-modern EMR system that is both better and more economical than your current provider.
As clinicians we spend much of our day writing or reviewing patient chart information so any deficiencies in speed, function or cost get multiplied across our whole team. After far too much wasted time and resources, two Albertan physicians, Dr Forseth and Dr Henschke, took matters into their own hands to create a next generation EMR that is guaranteed to improve your team’s efficiency while reducing your operating costs.

Providing healthcare professionals with a secure and efficient communications tool.
Enabling healthcare teams and supporting access to care for all Ontarians.
One:carepath is a multi-partnered project providing co developed tools, including a care plan template, to support shared care planning and coordination of care for patients with advance stage chronic disease in their medical home. We are seeking primary care physicians across Alberta to partner with us. We are measuring if the intervention of the co-developed care planning tools reduces avoidable emergency department visits, hospital length of stay, and improves patient experience.
We're hiring for multiple roles!
Join our high performing team in a flat organizational structure where everyone is self-directed and collaborates energetically to meet deadlines. At our core, we're a Division Family—a passionate, supportive group, driven by meaningful work.
We prioritize staff development and always celebrate achievements, big and small. We laugh, like a lot, and take breaks during the work week for anything such as a team high tea, bowling, dressing up as a character from ‘The Office’, or standing on the street with a sign that says ‘honk for your doc’ for some member appreciation.
We also prioritize health and wellness, whether that is ensuring we have fun injected into our daily routines, go on a walk ‘n talk meeting, or hire a local fitness guru to do some deep stretch classes with us. Growth within is encouraged, always. And non-profit experience is a plus, but passion and drive matter most to us. If you're eager to make a difference, we will certainly consider your application.
Values:
The Central Okanagan Division of Family Practice is a member-driven organization that:
Works collaboratively with its members, healthcare partners, and community stakeholders to deliver our mission and vision;
Empowers our members to be leaders in their community through the provision of learning opportunities and innovative, adaptable healthcare solutions;
Aims to be inclusive in all approaches to our work, appreciating the strengths and diversity of our membership and the communities we serve.
The Central Okanagan is a dynamic and diverse community of around 235,473 and is the third-largest metropolitan area in British Columbia. Kelowna has a hot, sunny, and dry climate - other parts of Canada envy weather conditions.
The division work is important as it creates a community of physicians while helping patients connect to a physician. We help people such as new moms, the marginalized, and the elderly get connected to family physicians, which helps to provide quality health care at a local level.
We know it takes courage to embrace change and face health issues head on, which is why we are passionate about dedicated care. The Langley Division of Family Practice is people centred, honours honesty, courage, and teamwork, and we are here for you along your health journey.
Located in the beautiful Fraser Valley, with a population reaching over 150,000, Langley continues to evolve.

Melanie Swerdan
Co-Founder - Director of Creative & Sitter Recruitment
Melanie is an entrepreneurial-minded problem solver, dedicated to ingenuity and creative thinking. After a serendipitous brainstorming session at the Edmonton Folk Fest with her close friends Cressida and Amber, the concept for Birdie Break developed wings. Birdie was created to "give parents a break," connecting families and sitters beyond traditional avenues. She feels it's quite remarkable how mobile apps have the ability to bring people together, create a sharing culture, and conveniently fulfill a wide range of needs.
Melanie serves as Director of Creative & Recruitment, having developed roots among artistic pursuits including photography, costume design, camera operating and restaurant development. She is an established music photographer shooting for the likes of Billy Ray Cyrus, Elle King, Kygo, Matt Mays, City & Colour, LP, Portugal the Man, The Kooks and The Heavy to name a few. In the last 3 years she’s also co-conceptualized and co-designed a couple restaurants in Edmonton, Alberta – El Cortez Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar and Have Mercy Table + Bar.
Melanie is a buoyant, fun, and nurturing auntie. Having previously been a nanny herself, her standards for recruitment are high!
She hopes Birdie will positively touch many lives - sitters, parents and the most special of all, the little ones!
Cressida Raffin
Co-Founder - CEO
As a busy mom to two boys and an entrepreneur, Cressida fully understands the importance of having access to high-quality childcare and recognizes it as a challenge for so many parents. Whether childcare is needed in order to work from home uninterrupted, to reconnect with her husband and friends or just for some solo time, the ability to trust the providers she uses is paramount in helping her find some semblance of balance in her life! She is passionate about Birdie being the solution to this problem for other parents in the same conundrum and is committed to working hard in order to make it a service that people can rely on to help them with their childcare needs.
Cressida has spent the last 10+ years in the marketing and event coordination world after having graduated with her Bachelor of Commerce with Distinction from the University of Alberta. She is happiest when she finds projects that blend her business acumen with her creative soul and entrepreneurial spirit.
In addition to her scholarly education, she has also spent years traveling and living abroad which provided her with a unique perspective on life and helped foster another type of understanding and passion for the world. This blend of career and exploration has solidified her belief in the importance of balance in life as the path to happiness and fulfillment. Something that she hopes Birdie will offer to all parents out there who need
A lack of profit is one key reason as to why we have a shortage of Clinics.
Canada's Medical Clinic has a GPM (Gross Profit Margin), of 35%.This would most likely be the most profitable clinic network in the country.
New doctors are not seeing a bright financial future. We have the ability to generate strong profit and simultaneously attract physicians to join us at an accelerated pace, with retention rates predicted to be record breaking

Step 1: Request Documents & Information
Documents and Information is requested from you via email, with an outline of timeline and an approximation of costs that can be expected for your commercial mortgage request.
Step 2: Terms Sheets are Presented to You
Term sheet(s) and/or an overview of options are presented to You.
Step 3: Due Diligence Reports are Ordered
Due diligence reports are ordered and lender application fees are paid. This is typically your first cost outlay, relating to your financing request.
Step 4: Final Commitment Letter
Final commitment letter is received and funding is completed. We are paid our broker fee at this very last stage of the process (upon funding).

Melanie Swerdan
Co-Founder - Director of Creative & Sitter Recruitment
Melanie is an entrepreneurial-minded problem solver, dedicated to ingenuity and creative thinking. After a serendipitous brainstorming session at the Edmonton Folk Fest with her close friends Cressida and Amber, the concept for Birdie Break developed wings. Birdie was created to "give parents a break," connecting families and sitters beyond traditional avenues. She feels it's quite remarkable how mobile apps have the ability to bring people together, create a sharing culture, and conveniently fulfill a wide range of needs.
Melanie serves as Director of Creative & Recruitment, having developed roots among artistic pursuits including photography, costume design, camera operating and restaurant development. She is an established music photographer shooting for the likes of Billy Ray Cyrus, Elle King, Kygo, Matt Mays, City & Colour, LP, Portugal the Man, The Kooks and The Heavy to name a few. In the last 3 years she’s also co-conceptualized and co-designed a couple restaurants in Edmonton, Alberta – El Cortez Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar and Have Mercy Table + Bar.
Melanie is a buoyant, fun, and nurturing auntie. Having previously been a nanny herself, her standards for recruitment are high!
She hopes Birdie will positively touch many lives - sitters, parents and the most special of all, the little ones!

Whether childcare is needed in order to work from home uninterrupted, to reconnect with her husband and friends or just for some solo time, the ability to trust the providers she uses is paramount in helping her find some semblance of balance in her life! She is passionate about Birdie being the solution to this problem for other parents in the same conundrum and is committed to working hard in order to make it a service that people can rely on to help them with their childcare needs.
Cressida has spent the last 10+ years in the marketing and event coordination world after having graduated with her Bachelor of Commerce with Distinction from the University of Alberta. She is happiest when she finds projects that blend her business acumen with her creative soul and entrepreneurial spirit.
In addition to her scholarly education, she has also spent years traveling and living abroad which provided her with a unique perspective on life and helped foster another type of understanding and passion for the world. This blend of career and exploration has solidified her belief in the importance of balance in life as the path to happiness and fulfillment. Something that she hopes Birdie will offer to all parents out there who need

Sara DimermanSara Dimerman is the founder of ReferToMe.ca. She is a psychologist and a member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. She has worked with individuals, couples and families for more than 30 years. Since the pandemic began, Sara has noticed a marked increase in the number of people looking for help with their mental health needs.
Unfortunately, because her practice often can't accommodate everyone, she has to put clients on a wait list or deny service. Often she will refer out to her colleagues but many of them too have closed practices. So, she thought that if she could create a directory of healthcare professionals referring to one another as needed, people wouldn't wait as long to receive service and healthcare professionals would have an easy and effective way to find others to help their potential client or patient, rather than putting them on a long waitlist.
