Kaleido adds new services to support families and now offers subscribers access to telemedicine

QUEBEC CITY, Dec. 9, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Kaleido firmly believes that all young people can succeed if they are given the financial and personal support they need to reach their full potential. With that in mind, Kaleido is pleased to announce new additions to its lineup of support services for families, including preferred access to VIP webinars and telemedicine, in cooperation with TELUS Health.

Kaleido clients already benefit from a wealth of free or paid family accompanying services and related resources, all in one place.

Making life easier with preferred access to telemedicine
