About us
Freddie's mission is to improve sexual health through education, prevention and treatment. Initially our focus is on HIV prevention. HIV is on the rise and over 50% of new HIV cases are in the LGBTQ2S+ community. Freddie has built a direct-to-consumer telemedicine offering to enable this community to access a HIV prevention medication called PrEP that reduces the risk of acquiring HIV by 99%, virtually.

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we are beyond excited to announce a new partnership between Foria and NorWest Community Health Centres. Starting today, anyone living in and around Thunder Bay can access Foria's services for free. These services are virtual hormone therapy and surgical assessments/referrals. This is a huge step to ensure more equitable access to virtual gender-affirming care for trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people in Ontario. It comes a year after Connect-Clinic - Foria's predecessor - was forced to close due to provincial billing code changes. Our mission is to offer our care at no cost across the province, and we hope it is the first of many such partnerships. To learn more about Foria and book appointments, please visit https://lnkd.in/gBxbziih.

We are searching for a new VP and GM! Please share if you know anyone that would be a good fit to lead the future of Freddie! 🏳️🌈
SVP / GM Freddie 🇨🇦 | PurposeMed (Linkedin Top 15 Startup and #2 on Deloitte's Companies to Watch)
📣 I am backfilling myself! 📣 It's both bittersweet and very exciting for me to share that PurposeMed is hiring a new leader for Freddie. I've had the honour of being in this role for the past 7 months, and it's been, without question, one of the best periods of my career. Over that time, our fantastic team has grown revenues by nearly 50%, launched additional treatments for patients, and created an entirely new way to access PrEP. We've moved with urgency and always acted in our patient's best interests. With that said, now is the right time to find a long-term leader for Freddie that can take it to even bigger heights. If you believe that you or someone you know would be a good fit for this role, please feel free to send me a message or apply at the link provided below. This is an amazing opportunity to work with an incredible team of people! For more info and to apply, check out the posting 👇 https://lnkd.in/gDq3Ctg3 As for me, there is no chance I'm leaving the PurposeMed rocketship 🚀 -- I'm excited to switch gears back to the world of corporate development, leading our high-growth efforts on new vertical/service development, external partnerships, government relations, etc.
