Urban Aboriginal Clients

We understand the Native community is often overlooked. FDMS will not overlook the urban individual or Centre. We have heard stories of individuals not understanding their ability to access Non-Insured Health Benefits and living in conditions that are inhumane as a result. FDMS will not let this happen. We will visit you Centre, meet with your community members and ensure that each individual receives better health solutions than they had in the past. We will also support Health staff with training and product knowledge sessions to make you better equipped to assist with medical supply issues.

FDMS Inc. is constantly working to develop customized programs for urban centres. Some of the guiding principles we work under include:

• We work to maximize the potential of every dollar that your Centre spends in Health Care. If there are savings to be made, you will make them. If there are purchasing opportunities available, you will have access to them.
• We work to make your life easier. We make money on every product we sell. The least we can do is share our product knowledge and experience with you to make your life and job easier.
• We will make every effort to ensure that your community members are receiving the best quality products available in Canada.
• We will work with any health organization to assist them and build a program that benefits the Native and Inuit communities.
• We will participate in your Health Fairs to educate your community about medical supplies.
• We will, at your request, set up office hours at your facility so that you community members can come to us and learn about their medical supply options.
• We will enroll your community in the Health Community Role Models Program free of charge. This program allows you to honour your community members that are contributing to health in a positive way with a jade glass award and formal presentation.

We can help you in a number of ways. Whether we assist you with replenishing the needs at your clinic, or set up appointments with your community members at your site or whether we offer you a customized training program, we can help.

We believe that after one visit with our Wellness Coordinator, we will be able to offer you and your urban based community members a service level that none of your current suppliers can.
