PurposeMed is a Canadian-founded healthtech company established in 2019 with a mission to improve access to complex care for underserved communities. We’ve combined our clinical roots with a drive to scale, and now our exceptional team provides specialized care to thousands of patients every month.
PurposeMed consists of three complex care business units: Freddie, Frida, and Foria, and partners with Affirming Care Pharmacy.
- Freddie improves sexual health through education, prevention, and treatment with a focus on the LGBTQ2S+ community. As the #1 rated PrEP provider in North America, we’re proudly dismantling barriers to sexual healthcare for patients across both Canada and the USA.
- Frida transforms the lives of patients through easier access to adult ADHD diagnosis and fast, affordable treatment.
- Foria provides trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse Canadians with specialized, gender-affirming healthcare.
- Affirming Care Pharmacy provides discreet, specialty prescription delivery across North America. Operating from Calgary, Mississauga, Toronto, and San Antonio, they provide our patients with an integrated, end-to-end healthcare experience.
We are proud to be ranked #2 on Deloitte’s 2024 list of Canada’s 50 fastest-growing tech companies and recognized as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures for two consecutive years. Driven by a strong mission, our team is passionate about making healthcare accessible to those who need it most—and we make sure to have fun along the way!
Though we have an office based in Calgary, many of our roles are hired remotely across Canada. PurposeMed's office is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the peoples of the Treaty 7 region which includes the nations of the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Îethka Stoney Nakoda which consists of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Good Stoney Bands, and people of the Tsuut’ina First Nation.
