Investing in Saskatchewan communities
Envisioning a future where there is equitable access to health and wellness information for everyone, and each person in Saskatchewan understands how to navigate their healthcare effectively.
We take the health and wellness of our members, our clients and our communities seriously.
Community Investment is a fundamental part of who we are, and integral to how we define organizational success. The profound care, commitment and dedication our employees have to those we serve is remarkable. In fact, building community is one of our core values. We’re proud to be a leader in community engagement, investing meaningfully in Saskatchewan communities through our time, finances, resources, energy, and spirit to help advance the places we call home.
We’re committed to bringing to life our organizational mission to “empower our communities on their journey to whole health and wellness” through our approach to Community Investment, and through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework and its integration into our business decisions.
We envision a future where there is equitable access to health and wellness information for everyone, and each person in Saskatchewan understands how to navigate their healthcare effectively. We invest meaningfully in organizations across the province that increase health literacy, build overall community health and wellbeing and encourage social change, enabling us to help the people of Saskatchewan achieve a future of lifelong health and wellbeing.
Our social purpose is centered around creating purposeful impact and serving community needs. This philosophy guides our Community Investment program, and its three main areas of focus: Health Literacy, Community Health and Wellbeing, and Diversity and Inclusion.
