Founding Story

"Seventy-two-year-old Pierette called me from rural Quebec to tell me that Jean her seventy-six-year-old husband could not sleep and was frantic. She said: "Jean keeps saying this is the night he is going to die."

Jean had been diagnosed with cancer 4 months earlier. He told me his Doctors treated him like a number, there was no real communication and he said they spent less than five minutes talking to him. Jean said: "you know, I worked hard my whole life, I paid my taxes, I was never sick and I feel like the health system doesn't care about me at all and I need them now."

I contacted a friend who was a surgeon and asked him to call Jean as soon as possible. One hour later Pierette called and said thank you so much. Dr. Malik called Jean, he is sound asleep now, he talked to the doctor for 20 minutes and he felt so much better. Dr. Malik is going to follow up with him also.

Sadly, Jean passed away six months later. He was indeed a hardworking man, strong and proud. This event was the impetus for Members Health, as I witnessed first-hand the difference that timely, compassionate and open communication with a Doctor had on someone's life."

At MembersHealth, it is imperative that all people be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their differences. We recognize that a diversity of identities and perspectives can foster creativity, innovation, and success in our organization.
