Our Story

We believe that health and wellness matters most. Health First is a network of independent health and wellness retail stores across the country. Your health needs are unique and not everything works the same for everyone – our stores have experts available to answer any questions you might have and will work with you to find the right solution for you and your family. The Health First Network originated in 2000 with 25 retailers coming together with the goal of sharing best practices, and producing their own high quality health products. In 2004 the group became a non-profit organization, a designation which it holds today. These retailers also came together through shared values and a vision to build a network of trusted community health and wellness retailers, dedicated to providing superior knowledge, service and value to families across the country. Today, there are over 110 independently owned and operated Health First Network retail stores across the country who share the same values. Our stores sell supplements, organics, gluten-free foods, natural health & beauty aids, and more. No two stores are alike, each selling different products based on the needs of the local community, but all carrying the exclusive Health First product line. Each of our stores are as unique as the communities they reside in, but each and every one strives to better serve their customers. The owners and staff at each of our Health First retailers are as passionate about your health as you are. So, if you’re a health and wellness expert, or are just looking to learn more, we’ve got the passion and knowledge to help. Find a store near you: healthfirstnetwork.ca/stores
