Sometimes, there’s just not enough time in a day. Busy professionals and working parents know this better than anyone. You are constantly trying to manage priorities at work while juggling personal obligations and schedules. That can be challenging on the best days. So, when you injure yourself or a dependent gets sick, stress can really build up. You might need to take time off work or push aside important obligations to go sit in a waiting room, see a doctor, and pick up a prescription. When things are back to normal, the catch up begins.

The good news is— it’s all going to get a little easier thanks to technology. That’s because one of our partnered suppliers is connecting working Canadians to a new telemedicine service called GOeVisit, offered by Canadian telehealth company, MyCare MedTech Inc.

1. Treat minor illnesses with ease - You can use your laptop, tablet or phone to request a virtual consultation with medical professional to diagnose and treat over 80 minor illnesses.

2. Access service from anywhere - The service is available to you any time of the day from your home or your office, and even when you are travelling for work or pleasure.
