About BridgeMed Health

Canadian-owned. Psychiatrist-led. Function-focused.

BridgeMed Health is a Canadian-owned, psychiatrist-led integrated mental health provider. We were founded on the belief that complex mental health disability cases deserve — and respond best to — coordinated, evidence-based, function-focused care delivered by a team led by a physician.

Since launching in June 2023, we have served 595+ plan members across Canada — delivering an 86% rate of RTW or off-benefits outcomes. We work with insurance carriers, group benefit providers, and employers, delivering care in English and French via a secure, SOC 2 Type II certified telemedicine platform.
