Why Virtual Care Belongs in Every Benefits Plan

As expectations shift and digital health becomes the norm, integrating virtual care into your benefits strategy is no longer optional. It is essential for staying competitive, caring, and future-ready. The landscape of healthcare delivery has changed. A recent report from Market Business Insights confirms what many of us have already experienced, telehealth is not a temporary solution, it’s the future. With the global telehealth market projected to grow steadily through 2035, Canada is expected to see a sharp uptick in virtual care adoption, driven by cost savings, improved access, and pandemic-era lessons that changed how we think about healthcare delivery.

The Case for Virtual Health Integration

Mainstream Access: Telehealth is being integrated into primary care delivery across Canada. People expect fast, convenient, and secure access to healthcare professionals.
Strategic Advantage
: Including virtual health options in benefits plans helps attract and retain employees and members by addressing real wellness needs.
