Iridia Medical was founded in 1998 under the name Global Medical Services. We specialize in providing innovative, practical solutions to enhance the delivery and quality of healthcare for populations across Canada. Our services fall into four primary areas:

Our clients include health authorities, public healthcare facilities, EMS providers, private surgery and diagnostic imaging facilities, and police and fire departments. Paramedic Services

🚒 We’re heading to the BC Fire Expo by Fire Chiefs' Association of BC in Victoria, June 7–8!

For more than 28 years, we’ve worked alongside fire departments across BC, providing medical direction and emergency response equipment. Today, that work also includes longevity and occupational health programs focused on long-term wellbeing, including sleep and cancer awareness, to help support crews throughout their careers.

We’re proud to support fire departments across BC and are always looking to connect with more teams.

We spent some time at the CPHR BC & Yukon recently and really enjoyed connecting with everyone.

Our booth combined some friendly competition from the grip strength challenges with practical conversations about what employee health looks like and how to support them in a way that lasts - through better sleep, exercise, nutrition, and mental health.

We discussed how to...
- make return-to-work transitions smoother and less stressful
- build mental toughness with the MTQPlus
- help teams build consistent, realistic longevity habits through our Mental Fitness Program

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, shared your stories, or jumped into the grip strength challenges with us.

Happy đź’™.

We recognize and thank the nurses who show up every day with compassion, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to care.

The theme of this year, The power of Nurses to Transform Health, by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA-AIIC) showcases how their work makes a lasting impact on individuals, families, and communities, from long shifts to quiet moments of support. The dedication and skill they bring to healthcare does not go unnoticed.

To every nurse, thank you for all that you do, today and every day.

"Wrapping up Mental Health Week with a look at what you shared đź’š

Last week, we asked what connection means to you, and now we captured your responses in a word cloud to bring them to life visually. Teamwork and Trust were the most repeated, although the others are also just as vital for building connection within the workplace.

And that is exactly why we lauched the Mental Fitness Program (MFP). One of its six pillars, Community, focuses on encouraging participants to embrace vulnerability and foster genuine connections with both themselves and others.

The program is designed to create space for reflection, strengthen connection over time, and support more meaningful relationships at work.

Tell us in ONE word, what does connection mean to you?

Mental Health Week in Canada is May 4-10. This year’s theme, Come Together, Canada, by the CMHA National, highlights how stronger connections support better mental health by reducing isolation, building belonging, and supporting well-being.

Connection looks different for everyone and every voice matters. Share your word below and help inspire others to do the same.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Fort St. John Trade Show!

We had an absolute blast meeting you all, and seeing some impressive reflexes from those who tried out our Drop Sticks reaction time challenge. We’re pretty sure about 90% of the tradeshow's attendees couldn’t resist trying!

The challenge was a fun, interactive way to show cognitive speed and brain plasticity, reinforcing the value of our preventative health programs.

Happy World Health Day! Here are some small, science-supported habits that our staff uses for long-term health and longevity:

💬 “Keeping my cholesterol in check comes down to consistency, about 150 minutes of movement each week, staying hydrated, and focusing on whole foods like oats, vegetables, and nuts. Simple habits that support heart health long-term.” - Theo

💬 “I focus on small, consistent resets, checking in with how I’m feeling, stepping away when things get busy, and practicing mindfulness. It helps me manage stress and stay focused.” - Ashling

💬 “In Canada, it’s hard to get enough vitamin D year-round, so I’m intentional about supplementing, getting sunlight when I can, and including foods like salmon, tuna, and egg yolks. It’s a small thing that supports both physical health and mood.” - Troy

💬 “VO₂ max training has been helpful in building my running endurance in a sustainable way. It helps me improve cardiovascular health without burning out too much.” - Genty

If you’re unsure where to start on your health journey, our Mental Fitness Program is built around guiding people through key pillars like Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition, The Mind, and Community to create lasting, meaningful change: https://lnkd.in/gcbNwWsY
