TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2022 /CNW/ - Sterling Capital Brokers ("SCB" or the "Company"), Canada's largest independent benefit consulting firm, is partnering with Dialogue Health Technologies Inc. (TSX: CARE) ("Dialogue"), Canada's premier virtual care and wellness platform, to offer Wellness, a new program promoting healthy living.
SCB has been proudly working with Dialogue as a trusted partner for 2 years. Over 85% of the Company's clientele leverage Dialogue's services in primary care, mental health and employee assistance programs. Dialogue's new Wellness program is the first preventative virtual care model of its kind in Canada which includes programs to build healthy habits, promotes wellness challenges, and makes available clinically-vetted content for health and wellness education.
"80% of Canadians do not achieve the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week," states Dr. Marc Robin, Dialogue's Medical Director. "Wellness provides members with the tools they need to adopt healthier habits, which can delay or help prevent chronic conditions, and is recommended by the Center for Disease Control to reduce the chances of developing depression or anxiety. We've seen the results, 80% of members using the Wellness program achieved 150+ minutes of activity weekly, and otherwise sedentary users saw an increase of 75% in their daily activity."
"Sterling prioritizes innovative products, working with a diverse set of providers across the country. Dialogue's Wellness program is an exciting addition to our service offering that focuses on preventative, virtual care.These services have become increasingly important to our clients as we have progressed through the COVID-19 pandemic and shifting to remote working behaviours" said SCB President, John Griffin.
