If you had told me five months ago that there was a 1 in 4 chance of developing a deadly infection from a catheter, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But in just 12 minutes, bacteria and biofilm start to grow—putting patients at serious risk. That’s where KiteLock 4% comes in. It’s proven to eliminate these threats, already delivering incredible results at some of the country’s top hospitals. Working with SterileCare Inc., we knew we needed to develop a campaign that wasn’t just about education—it was about driving real change. Queue "Set New Standards" - a call to health networks to ditch outdated solutions and adopt KiteLock—because saving lives and reducing costs shouldn’t be optional. Please watch and share the video in the comments section below with your network. And as patients, we need to start asking for KiteLock. In a hospital, it could be the difference between life and death. A big thanks to the CAN Health Network for helping bring this initiative to life. #CatheterCare #SetNewStandards #FutureOfCare #Healthcare

' CAN Health was a key factor in driving SeamlessMD’s eventual success within Canada, Dr. Liu said. Before the company joined the network, he said, about 80 per cent of its business was conducted in the U.S. Now, it’s closer to 50/50. “Before CAN Health, there was a lot of fragmentation. So you’d have all these hospitals or health authorities doing their own thing, not realizing that there’s lots of innovations their peers were using that would apply to them as well,” he said. ' Thank you Joshua Liu SeamlessMD for highlighting what can happen when Canada supports and invests in its entrepreneurs. CAN Health is proud to partner with incredible organizations like Communitech and leaders like Joel Semeniuk that are helping to advance care, drive economic prosperity, and build a stronger Canada. Thanks The Globe and Mail & Pippa Norman for bringing this to the forefront. Check out the article below ⬇️
