Building Canada's Complex Care Infrastructure
About Own Health
Own Health builds specialist-led complex care pathways that enable community teams to safely manage high-risk patients outside the hospital. We partner with health systems to deploy clinical infrastructure — not just programs — that delivers measurable outcomes, clear accountability, and durable capacity where Canada's care system needs it most.

From COVID-19 to present
Our History
Own Health was founded to address one of Canada's most persistent gaps: medically complex patients falling through the cracks between hospital, community, and specialist care. We started in limb and vascular care — building integrated pathways that connected specialists, NPs, and home care teams around patients who would otherwise face preventable amputations and repeat ED visits. The results were immediate and durable: wait times collapsed, lengths of stay dropped, and clinicians reported a fundamentally different experience of caring for complex patients.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated our shift from in-person service delivery to a scalable, community-embedded model. We moved from being tied to physical infrastructure to building the clinical architecture that any health system could deploy — regardless of geography.
Today, Own Health serves 2.5M+ residents across Ontario and PEI, with pathways embedded into the workflows of hospitals, home care organizations, Ontario Health Teams, and regional health authorities. The model has expanded beyond vascular care to cover hospital-to-home stabilization, ED diversion, primary care bridging, and population health — all anchored by the same core principles: specialist integration, NP-led continuity, structured escalation, and closed-loop accountability.

Specialist-Level Care, Community-Level Access
Our Mission
Canada's health system is structurally overwhelmed at the point of greatest complexity. Hospitals manage patients who could be safely cared for at home. Specialists are buried in backlogs while high-risk community patients go unmonitored. Home care teams operate without the clinical oversight needed to manage acuity safely.
Own Health exists to fix that — not by adding more programs, but by building the infrastructure that makes the existing system work better. We shift specialist-level decision-making, risk stratification, and active medical oversight into the community. We train and support the clinicians already there. And we create the accountability structures that keep patients safe and systems sustainable.
Every pathway we build is designed to prove its value quickly, embed deeply, and scale reliably — because Canada's complex care capacity gap is too large for anything less.
