Felix Health, a leading virtual care provider, is ushering in a new wave of everyday health care centred around autonomy, agency, and advocacy. By connecting patients with licensed healthcare providers (HCPs) who prescribe individualized treatment plans, Felix empowers individuals to take control of their health in a supportive, stigma-free virtual environment.
Felix specializes in conditions that are often overlooked in the healthcare landscape. Their innovative virtual care model eliminates the discomfort of face-to-face consultations, providing easy, convenient access to high-quality care online, anywhere, at any time. Serving rural communities across the country such as Lloydminster, Webequie First Nation, and Truro, Felix removes barriers that remote populations face in receiving everyday care.
Meeting Unmet Needs
For most patients, Felix represents the first step toward addressing everyday health concerns: about 50% of first-time registrants are seeking treatment for an everyday health need for the first time. “With over 1 million sign-ups on the Felix platform, we’re committed to facilitating access to on-demand health care that Canadians can trust,” said Dr. Kelly Anderson, Medical Director at Felix. “We’re proud to be part of the healthcare journey for Canadians who view virtual care as a valuable tool to alleviate menopause symptoms or seek out medically-supervised weight loss, among other conditions.”
Menopause: Felix is helping women who are looking for modern, reliable solutions that work with their lives, fulfilling over 7,000 treatments for menopause symptoms since launching in March. Felix partnered with Canada’s inaugural National Menopause Show to serve as the title sponsor, showcasing its active involvement and leadership in the space.
“There’s been a tremendous grassroots push from women in their 30s and 40s who are inspired by witnessing their mothers’ challenges accessing menopause care. Women today are digital-savvy advocates who refuse to accept a future where accessible and evidence-based care is out of reach,” said Dr. Nathalie Gamache, B.C based Gynecologist, certified menopause expert, and Felix’s Menopause Medical Advisor.
Weight loss: Felix’s weight loss program emphasizes body neutrality, supporting patients in their autonomy and unique health journeys without judgment. The program has shipped over 100,000 weight loss prescriptions and on average, Felix weight loss program participants lost 6.8% of their body weight in 3 months akin to clinical study findings.
“These medically-backed treatments enable patients to maintain their dietary intervention and also be active,” said Dr. Sean Wharton, Ontario based internist and co-author of the Canadian Obesity Guidelines. “The narrative around weight management must shift to focus on biological principles and the science of weight regulation. It’s key that people know about their options and ultimately exercise their autonomy about how and why to lose weight– without the burden of outdated stigmas and biases.”
