Health Unlocks Human Potential
Why It Matters: The Challenge
We are all living longer—but not living well.
While we pride ourselves on universal healthcare, far too many people fall through the cracks, especially Indigenous, older adults, racialized, low-income, and rural and remote communities. The cracks are widening into chasms. Canadians are living longer than ever but we’re not living well.
Our vision for the future of health
We believe in a future where anyone, at anytime, from anywhere has access to transformative and inclusive health and wellbeing solutions and services.
Anyone
Regardless of age, background, gender, income or linguistic preferences, with a prioritization of historically underserved communities and equity-deserving groups
Anytime
Access solutions on their terms, on demand; ranging from early to later life, sudden changes in life circumstances, or an acute or chronic challenge
Anywhere
Regardless of where people are —virtual, at the place they call home, with family, or in rural and remote communities

Our Impact
Bold innovators are building solutions that are transforming how anyone, anytime, anywhere can live, age, and care for one another. They’re designing culturally safe care models for Indigenous communities, reimagining smart homes for older adults so they can age in place with dignity, deploying AI for faster mental health support for non-English speakers, and tackling early diabetes detection and course correction with precision.
As an impact-focused venture fund, we are committed to expanding access and equity, particularly to historically underserved geographies, groups and communities to advance wellbeing for all.
