I am so proud of the Fonemed Team for answering the call – literally and figuratively.”
“Our Human Resources and Information Technology groups really stepped up to make sure we had the resources we needed to respond effectively. Our support staff and registered nurses were fully engaged, responding to clinical questions and concerns from the community.”

We experienced a 1500 percent increase in the number of calls in Canada alone, not to mention what was happening in the US. We onboarded more than 100 employees in just two weeks to handle the incredible jump in public health concerns coming through the nurse advice line. Receiving this recognition from the Atlantic Business Magazine is really a testament to our team of dedicated employees at Fonemed.”
