Altum Health

What Altum Health does

Altum Health is a non-profit rehabilitation and disability management program that operates as a division of the University Health Network (UHN), Canada's largest academic research hospital system. Founded in 1998, the organization runs 12-13 clinic locations across Ontario anchored at Toronto Western Hospital, staffed by 135 regulated clinicians and UHN-affiliated specialist physicians, providing musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation, concussion and traumatic brain injury care, mental health services, and post-Covid recovery delivered through integrated multidisciplinary teams. The organization complements its physical clinic network with a secure encrypted virtual care video platform supporting remote consultations, and operates an Integrated Performance Measurement Team that collects standardized patient-rated outcomes across the network.

The organization's revenue model is fee-for-service clinical care, with services billed to third-party payors including the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), automobile insurers, long-term disability insurers, extended health benefits plans, and self-pay patients. Direct billing to insurers is offered in many cases. The customer base spans four primary third-party payor segments (WSIB, auto, LTD, employers) plus self-pay patients, with services contracted through the dedicated WSIB Specialty Programs, Auto Insurance Services, LTD Services, and Employer Services lines. The organization does not have venture backing and 100% of net proceeds are reinvested into UHN's clinical care and research mission.

The competitive position rests on UHN institutional affiliation, CARF accreditation across four program categories, multi-decade clinical outcomes data, and integration with UHN specialists via a telehealth-coordinated interdisciplinary care model. The GTM motion is hybrid: direct-to-consumer through website/phone booking reinforced by bottom-of-funnel referral relationships with healthcare providers, insurers, and employers. Distribution is anchored by the physical clinic network across the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding Ontario regions, with virtual care extending reach beyond clinic geographies.
