July 14, 2021 – Gotodoctor.ca (Teledact Inc.), a leader in the Canadian virtual care sector, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Union Social Group (USG) to provide virtual care services to frontline staff. Hundreds of staff across all five USG locations in the Greater Toronto Area will now be able to receive timely access to physicians through Gotodoctor.ca.

Wherever they are, Union Social staff will be able to see a physician virtually through Gotodoctor.ca’s secure platform, seven days a week. They will also have access to dedicated support staff to help coordinate care and assist with appointment bookings. If additional assessments or diagnostic equipment is required, USG staff can visit a virtual care clinic located within a pharmacy, where the pharmacist will work with the virtual physician to address their health needs.

Statistics have shown that an average employee can miss up to 7 to 10 days of work, costing organizations thousands of dollars each year. Through this new relationship, Gotdoctor.ca will be able to address a variety of medical conditions, help with referrals and provide prescriptions for medications that may be required. Employees and their families at USG will now be able to consult a physician about their concerns prior to going to work or school, providing better protection for themselves and others.

“We’re very excited to be working with the team at Union Social to help ensure their staff members have improved access to health care, when they need it,” said Tommy Cheung, President of Gotodoctor.ca. “Having access to virtual physician care is crucial during these times for employees and enables organizations to remain competitive in the industry. Gotodoctor.ca is a cost-effective solution that allows organizations to provide an added layer of protection for their employees, patrons, and business continuity.”
