Saint Elizabeth Health Care

What Saint Elizabeth Health Care does

Saint Elizabeth Health Care, operating as SE Health, is a Canadian not-for-profit social enterprise founded in 1907 (headquartered at 90 Allstate Parkway, Suite 800, Markham, Ontario) with 8,000+ employees delivering home and community healthcare services nationally. Its core operations span four service platforms: Integrated Care (home and community care, life and care transitions, rehabilitation health, driver's assessment and training); Inclusive Living (seniors living, hospice through Journey Home Hospice, and small care homes including the ExquisiCare residential brand acquired in 2023); Research, Education and Training (SE Research Centre founded in 2002, SE Career College of Health offering PSW certification, and the 20+ year First Nations, Inuit & Métis (FNIM) Program with the @YourSide Colleague online learning platform); and Professional Services (SE Solutions Lab, managed services for hospitals and long-term care organizations, and SE Impact Ventures for social investment). The Saint Elizabeth Foundation operates as a nationally registered charity, with 100% of donations directed to patients and communities.

The business model blends government-funded managed-services contracts for home and community care with paid professional education (e.g., PSW certificate programs), accreditation and certification services (e.g., Community Health Representative certification, AccrediReady, PACE palliative care), consulting/managed services for healthcare organizations, and philanthropy-funded free Indigenous health programs. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct care delivery through employed clinicians and PSWs for individual/family patients, B2B managed-services contracts with hospitals and long-term care facilities, and community-partner-channel delivery to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across all provinces and territories. The proprietary technology stack centers on the SE Research Centre's Participatory Research to Action (PR2A) Framework, the registered Our Dementia Journey Journal (paper and iOS/Android app in English, French, Hindi, and Punjabi), the Reflection Room end-of-life storytelling method, the Dialogue and Storywork cancer-care research methodology, the Canadian Aging Action, Research, and Education (CAARE) for Mental Health knowledge mobilization group, and integrations with Swift Medical digital wound care and Mustimuhw cEMR.

Customer segments include individuals and families receiving home healthcare, seniors requiring residential or hospice care, Indigenous communities and healthcare workers across 700+ communities, healthcare professionals pursuing certification (PSW, HSW, CHR, advanced foot care), and hospitals/long-term care organizations contracting managed services. Quantified outcomes cited by the company include a 97% patient recommendation rate, an 80%+ graduation rate in training programs (surpassing industry standards), 7,000+ healthcare providers trained annually through FNIM programs, and 153+ Indigenous health program graduates across 24+ cohorts. SE Health is governed by a Board of Directors with senior leadership overseeing operations, holds Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005 registration for its college, SOFEDUC and Indigenous Council on Accreditation credentials for FNIM, and since 2023 has been authorized to administer Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) funding for independent scientists working with the SE Research Centre.
