The Polycrisis of Healthcare in Rural, Remote & Indigenous Communities
Political unrest, budget cutbacks, shortage of physicians, siloed healthcare systems and an aging population have created alarming impacts on healthcare parity across rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. Clinics and hospitals are closing. Citizens are at risk, and this crisis demands action.
Community Led. Culturally Grounded. Digitally Delivered
We empower community stewardship of their citizens’ health and well-being. Our TeleCare Ecosystem is a secure platform for sovereign patient data, delivering culturally rich, longitudinal, whole-person primary, mental health and allied care. Fully integrated technologies and health monitoring tools support long-term health resilience and community health crisis planning.
Empowering Women & Youth through TeleCare Job Creation
We walk with our Indigenous sisters, our American sisters and women of all cultures, creating new jobs for in-community TeleManagers. Women, as natural caregivers, lead the humanization and adoption of virtual TeleCare. Young TeleMentors guide elderly, homebound, and tech-shy patients with comforting, inclusive digital health support.
TeleCare is more than a solution—it’s a movement.
Digital health delivered by Humans with Heart, Soul and Care.
Meet Marilyn Lawrie, President, EMBA, Telecare ecosystem designer
I'm honoured to have found my calling: helping communities design and steward citizen health and wellbeing. As a passionate advocate for Women Transforming TeleCare, I believe in the power of women to foster connection and drive the adoption of digital healthcare. Their innate ability to build community makes them a transformative force in this space.
My journey began with early-stage internet and telehealth providers across remote regions of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan—where I earned the nickname "Biz Shrink" from physicians whose operational challenges I helped solve. These experiences gave me a deep understanding of connectivity disparities and the profound impact they have on healthcare in Indigenous communities. Overcoming the hurdles of limited internet access, cultural barriers, and the need for human-centered training was both demanding and deeply rewarding.
Today, I guide communities through their concerns about digital health adoption—building trust, confidence, and a shared vision of what meaningful TeleCare can achieve. I encourage a shift away from outdated models of care, inspiring humanized innovation and localized solutions that reflect each community’s unique wellness priorities.
