Welcome to the MEDIC Foundation

At the MEDIC Foundation, we envision a future where innovation, advocacy, and patient engagement across British Columbia lead to better healthcare solutions. As a provincially registered non-profit under the British Columbia Societies Act, we are known as the MEDIC for Innovation Foundation. 

CHRONIC DISEASE

: a human health condition that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects 

Our Approach

At the MEDIC Foundation, we are dedicated to empowering volunteers from diverse age groups and backgrounds to work with patients and seniors in our community. Our comprehensive training programs equip volunteers with the necessary skills to provide compassionate care and support. Additionally, we offer aspiring student researchers hands-on experience developing medical devices, bridging the gap between academia and real-world application. These initiatives foster a collaborative environment that promotes growth, innovation, and a shared commitment to improving healthcare outcomes.

Jack Pirie | Research Assistant | Diabetes

"I have lived with type 1 diabetes for 12 years, so I understand first-hand how demanding living with a chronic disease can be.  Biomedically developed devices have allowed me to live a relatively normal life since my diagnosis, and I can only imagine how difficult enduring a chronic disease must be without similar medical care and access to technology.  I am thankful for MEDIC for giving me the opportunity to give back to this field that has positively impacted my life beyond belief."
