Green Shield Canada (GCS) is Canada’s fourth-largest health and dental benefits provider and is uniquely structured as a social enterprise, with the purpose of making it easier for people to live their healthiest lives. From coast-to-coast, our service delivery includes drug, dental, extended health care, vision, hospital, and travel benefits for groups and individuals, as well as administration and benefits management services. Supported by outcomes-based sustainability strategies, advanced technology, and exceptional customer service, GSC creates innovative programs for nearly four million plan participants nationwide.
At GSC, our vision is to achieve Better Health for All. We believe that all Canadians should have access to services they need to improve their health and well-being, but for too many that’s not a reality. We’re focusing on filling gaps in the Canadian health care system in oral and mental health, two foundational areas that a large number of Canadians struggle to access. By 2025, we will invest $75M in oral and mental health initiatives that will drive measurable improvements in health outcomes for Canadians, as well as in building stronger and more inclusive communities through partnerships that help advance inclusion, equity, and the principles of reconciliation.
