New partnership supports Canadian innovators, strengthens health care, and expands market access opportunities.
April 24, 2025 (Oakville, ON)– HealthPRO Canada, the country’s national group contracting provider for health care, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the CAN Health Network (CAN Health) to accelerate the adoption and procurement of innovative, made-in-Canada health care solutions.
Launched in 2019, the CAN Health Network is a national initiative that works with Canadian health care organizations to identify their biggest challenges and match them with homegrown technology solutions. By connecting Canadian entrepreneurs and innovators with health care operators, companies gain access to real-world health care settings to validate and refine their products.
Through this new partnership, HealthPRO Canada and CAN Health will work together to accelerate the procurement and adoption of Canadian innovation across the country.
“This partnership is about creating more opportunities for made-in-Canada health solutions to succeed here at home,” said Dr. Dante Morra, Founder and Chair, CAN Health Network. “By leveraging HealthPRO Canada’s national procurement expertise, and its network of health care organizations across the country, we can further strengthen the work we are doing.”
This collaboration will help move Canadian innovations into real-world health care settings faster by:
- Helping innovators grow: Giving Canadian companies the support and access they need to bring their ideas into hospitals and care settings.
- Raising visibility: Creating more opportunities for Canadian solutions to be seen, understood, and adopted across the health care system.
- Enabling system-wide access: Leveraging HealthPRO Canada’s role as a national procurement platform to help convert commercialized innovations into solutions that can be accessed across the public health system.
“This partnership reinforces our deep commitment to Canadian innovation and ensures that healthcare providers have timely access to the most effective, Made-in-Canada solutions—improving care, driving efficiency, and strengthening our health system,” says Christine Donaldson, President & CEO, HealthPRO Canada.
