Veterans For Healing

What Veterans For Healing does

Veterans For Healing Ltd is a Canadian for-profit healthcare services company founded in 2017 and headquartered at 5 Prince Street in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The company delivers an integrated, three-pillar (plus products) care model to Canadian Armed Forces veterans, RCMP veterans, serving members preparing for release, and veterans' family members: VAC Navigation (support with Veterans Affairs Canada disability benefit applications, reviews, appeals, and Medavie Blue Cross coverage), Medical Cannabis (evidence-informed, harm-reduction-focused assessments and dosing support aligned with VAC policies), and Treatment Options (a multidisciplinary network of trauma-informed clinical services spanning psychiatry, psychology, counselling, social work, occupational therapy, chiropractic, and nursing). A consumer wellness line, VFH Products, sells Functional Mushrooms and is launching a VFH Medicinal Cannabis line via v4healingproducts.com.

The business is founder-led by Fabian Henry, a former Canadian Armed Forces Sergeant with six deployments who turned his own PTSD and post-service recovery into the company's founding mission. Revenue is generated primarily through managed-services contracts reimbursed by Veterans Affairs Canada and Medavie Blue Cross, supplemented by ancillary clinical service fees and the emerging direct-to-consumer VFH Products line. Distribution combines in-person consultations at the Sydney headquarters with phone-based intake, virtual appointments, and online registration, enabling national reach across Canada despite a single physical office.

The technology stack consists of secure clinical platforms used for care coordination, appointment scheduling, documentation, and provider collaboration; the company has no public mobile app, API, or disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The organization employs 51-100 staff, including a dedicated Communications and Marketing function, and grew out of a single-officer founding operation into a structured multidisciplinary clinical practice supported by an April 2022 funding round of approximately CAD $2.25M.
