About GreenShield
Where purpose meets passion and performance.
As a proudly Canadian company, we envision a future where all Canadians can reach their fullest health and well-being potential regardless of background or circumstance. GreenShield is committed to democratizing access to culturally appropriate healthcare, reinventing the healthcare experience with the patient at its centre and dramatically improving health outcomes for mental health and other chronic diseases in our pursuit of Better Health for All.
Coverage and care, all in one place
GreenShield is the first organization in Canada to operate as a payer-provider — offering insurance, administering benefits, and paying claims as a ‘payer’ while offering health services such as mental health, pharmacy, and medical services as a ‘provider.’ Integrating both sides of the payer-provider equation enables GreenShield to simplify access to care, remove administrative barriers, and improve health outcomes for its customers.
Our profits go back into improving the health and well-being of Canadians. We partner with community organizations to expand access to health services and co-create new, culturally appropriate products and services, scaling our impact and growing our business.
Our founding story: The better way
The result was the creation of North America's first prepaid drug plan. In 1957, GreenShield was established as a non-profit organization, reinvesting our earnings to support Better Health for All Canadians
