Medimap is pleased to announce it has signed a strategic partnership with MedMe Health, a Toronto-based eHealth software company, to make clinical pharmacy services more accessible to Canadians.

Medimap already makes finding walk-in clinics and other types of Health Care Practitioners easy to find thanks to its innovative digital platform. Its new partnership with MedMe will now make it easier for people to book appointments with pharmacists and access the services they provide, thanks to MedMe’s extensive relationships with more 3,400 pharmacies across Canada.

This strategic partnership will help Canadians utilize pharmacists’ expanding scope of practice and reduce the need for people to visit a clinic or a hospital for common ailments or non-urgent care.

“Our new partnership with MedMe Health moves us closer to our goal to help make Canada’s healthcare system more efficient by helping Canadians access the expanded services pharmacists in many parts of the country can now provide,” said Medimap CEO Thomas Jankowski.

“We are excited to be able to offer this new feature to our users because it will help increase awareness about the important role pharmacists play in our healthcare system and help patients get timely access to care,”  said Purya Sarmadi, MedMe’s Co-Founder and CEO.

The strategic partnership will begin as a pilot-project before a deeper system integration making it even easier for patients to find the care they need, when they need it.
