Our Community Commitment
Our Mission ... to develop and deliver community-based programs and services that improve the health and quality of life for people with respiratory disease and sleep-disordered breathing.
Building Community-based Programs
For over 30 years, Careica Health has created a culture of fierce caring and generosity. Every employee takes great pride in the support we provide our clients, our communities and the respiratory profession.
We advocate for the people, programs, and events that impact healthcare; both locally and nationally. In addition to providing our time and financial support, we find innovative ways to address challenges in the provincial and national healthcare systems.

Leaders in Respiratory Care and the Community
Careica Health is a dedicated supporter of events and initiatives that back our clients, respiratory professionals and the community.
Careica Health has partnered with home care provider Vytality at Home to offer extended care options to all our clients in need.
Our Careica Health Cares corporate giving initiative supports not-for-profits in the community through corporate donations and staff volunteer hours.
Careica Health is extensively involved through employee time, financial aid and active participation in all stages of educator certification.
Through funding and employee resources, Careica Health supported the planning and delivery of this conference, which provides education to doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals involved in respiratory care.
Pioneering Research
Careica Health believes ongoing research is critical to understanding and improving the quality of life for those suffering from respiratory symptoms. We recently developed, funded and executed a three-year pilot project for Chronic Respiratory Disease Management in smaller Canadian communities.
The program was intended to develop a toolbox of respiratory care skills and processes that improves patient care and can be easily transferred to other primary care settings. The second key objective was to show how investment in the program lowers future healthcare costs, over a 10 – 20 year period.
Developing Respiratory Professionals
Careica Health invests in growth and development of current and future healthcare providers. At universities, colleges and in healthcare institutions, Careica Health is a supporter of medical professionals, providing lectures and educational sessions on a variety of topics, including:
- oxygen therapy and associated devices
- respiratory diagnostics and interpretation
- sleep assessment and therapy
- asthma and COPD action plans
- tobacco cessation and education processes
Breathing New Life into the Community
Every year, we donate thousands of dollars and volunteer hundreds of hours to local organizations in need through our Careica Health Cares initiative.
