Own Health was established to address a critical gap in Canada’s healthcare system: the urgent need for integrated care solutions in lower limb preservation and vascular health. Initially operating within a provider-centric model tied to physical hospital infrastructure, Own Health faced challenges in reaching patients who required specialized care but could not easily access it due to logistical barriers. The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a pivotal moment, forcing the organization to innovate rapidly. Recognizing the limitations of in-person care, Own Health pivoted to a patient-centric model, leveraging virtual care and telehealth solutions to bring its expertise directly to patients, regardless of their location.

As Own Health expanded from offering manual clinical services to becoming an integrated care company, it proved its value through measurable impacts on patient outcomes and healthcare efficiencies. Collaborating with leading organizations such as Humber River Regional, Mississauga Health, Connected Care Halton Ontario Health Team (OHT), Ontario Health atHome, Muskoka & Area OHT, and others, Own Health delivered remarkable reductions in hospital length of stay, vascular consult wait times, ER admissions, and readmission rates. These early successes demonstrated the transformative power of its approach, solidifying its reputation as a leader in proactive, value-based care.

Building on this foundation, Own Health scaled its operations to integrate advanced technology and data-driven care pathways, ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes across diverse communities. With core operating principles of early identification, rapid escalation, closed-loop communication, and continuous measurement, the same method scales smoothly from limb preservation to heart-failure management to primary-care attachment.

At Own Health, we envision a healthcare system where value-based care transforms the patient experience and redefines success. Our vision is deeply aligned with the principles of the quintuple aim—enhancing patient outcomes, improving the patient and provider experience, reducing healthcare costs, advancing health equity, and supporting provider well-being.

Our mission is to deliver integrated care solutions that empower patients, providers, and communities through personalized care pathways and advanced technology. By addressing the barriers of fragmented systems and inequities in access, we ensure that even underserved populations receive high-quality care. Our strategies are grounded in improving outcomes and reducing the burden on providers, recognizing that better support for healthcare workers translates to better care for patients.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We partner with government health systems, community organizations, and insurers to embed sustainable solutions that enhance efficiency while fostering equity. Every aspect of our mission—from early intervention and prevention of complications to seamless care integration—reflects our commitment to improving the health of populations and the resilience of the healthcare system. Through these efforts, Own Health creates a future where every patient can achieve the best possible outcomes in a system that supports everyone involved.
