Product Donations

Internationally, we donate our products through Health Partners International of Canada (HPIC), a Montréal-‐based charitable organization that provides much needed medicines, vaccines, medical supplies and devices for use by humanitarian or disaster relief missions in developing countries. Our products are included in HPIC’s Physician Travel Packs (PTP) and we respond to special requests from physicians traveling on humanitarian missions overseas.

In 2015, we donated close to $815,000 in medicines to HPIC. Our medicines were used by physicians on humanitarian missions to Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Kenya, Northern Iraq, Turkey, Uganda and the Ukraine.

Strengthening Our Commitment to Adolescent Health and Non-‐Communicable Disease Prevention

In 2015, we increased our focus on vulnerable youth with renewed investment in At My Best®, a program we co-‐founded along with Physical and Health Education (PHE) Canada in 2008. In order to evaluate the effectiveness, accessibility and impact of At My Best® as a school-‐based public health intervention, we launched a 3 year program with PHE Canada and its research partners in multiple communities across Canada. We are focusing our work explicitly on communities with large immigrant and newcomer populations, First Nations populations and / or lower socio-‐economic status. It is our intention to better understand the needs of these communities in order to adjust the curriculum to be more suited to their specific community needs. For more information, visit www.atmybest.ca or www.younghealth.ca.
