FreshAir Respiratory Care

What FreshAir Respiratory Care does

FreshAir Respiratory Care Inc. is a Canadian home healthcare provider specializing in respiratory care, operating three clinic locations in Alberta — one in Edmonton and two in Calgary (Parkdale and Southport). Founded in 2016 and headquartered at #101, 10642-178 Street NW, Edmonton, the company delivers physician-prescribed home oxygen therapy for conditions such as COPD, pneumonia, asthma, heart failure and cystic fibrosis, alongside obstructive sleep apnea assessment via overnight sleep studies, and comprehensive Pulmonary Function Testing covering lung volume, diffusion capacity, pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas analysis and fractional exhaled nitric oxide measurements. All clinical services are delivered in partnership with trained specialists, with patient self-referral and physician referral both accepted through online forms and phone-based scheduling.

The company's commercial offering combines clinical services with durable medical equipment retail, supplying CPAP machines (including ResMed AirSense-class devices) and a range of CPAP masks (AirFit N10, AirFit P10, AirFit F10, Philips Respironics DreamWear), portable oxygen concentrators (Inogen One G2, G3 and G4), and home oxygen accessories including CHAD regulators and electronic oxygen conservers. FreshAir does not develop proprietary medical technology; it resells and supports established third-party device brands and operates its own clinical workflows for diagnostics, titration and patient education.

The business model is a hybrid of professional services revenue (sleep studies, PFT, respiratory assessments, billed through provincial healthcare plans or private insurance) and hardware/medical equipment sales (CPAP devices, masks, oxygen concentrators and consumables), with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rate cards. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via three Alberta clinics plus phone and toll-free contact, supported by a lightweight digital marketing footprint (website referral forms, social channels, email newsletter). In August 2025, FreshAir was acquired by Resolve Sleep Health as one of seven sleep-health brands rolled into a national platform of 120 clinics across nine provinces, marking the company's transition from a standalone Alberta operator to a regional node within Canada's largest private sleep and respiratory care network.

Products and services

• Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) Comprehensive lung function evaluation performed in-clinic alongside highly trained specialists via collaborative partnerships, including lung volume tests, lung diffusion capacity measurement, pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas analysis, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide testing to provide detailed lung health information to patients and their physicians.
• Sleep Study / Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Testing In-clinic overnight sleep studies combined with a sleep apnea risk assessment and clinical evaluation to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea by detecting apneas and drops in blood oxygen levels during sleep.
• CPAP Machines and Masks Continuous Positive Airway Pressure devices and compatible nasal and full face masks for treating obstructive sleep apnea, including fixed pressure and auto-adjusting models from Philips Respironics and ResMed AirFit product lines, with sleep specialist support for machine, humidifier, mask, and hose selection.

Regional players

• Wellwise by Shoppers Drug Mart: Canadian retail/home health equipment chain operated by Loblaw; sells CPAP machines, masks, oxygen, and mobility aids. Partial overlap with FreshAir on equipment sales though operates retail rather than clinic model.
• ParaMed Home Health Care: National home health services provider (Extendicare) with home support, nursing, and therapy services. Adjacent overlap on respiratory/home-health service delivery though broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Aveiro Sleep: Alberta-based sleep clinic operator that was co-acquired with FreshAir by Resolve Sleep Health in August 2025. Near-identical scope (sleep studies, CPAP) and regional overlap.
• Medigas (Linde Canada): Linde's Canadian home-health division delivering home oxygen, CPAP, and respiratory therapy across multiple provinces. Same core products (concentrators, CPAP, masks) and patient population as FreshAir.
• CarePartners: Ontario-based home health services provider (acquired by SE Health) delivering in-home nursing, therapy, and personal support including respiratory support. Comparable home-care service delivery model, though with broader scope than FreshAir.
• VitalAire Canada: Subsidiary of Air Liquide; Canada's largest home oxygen and sleep apnea therapy provider with national clinic coverage. Directly comparable to FreshAir on services (home oxygen, CPAP, sleep studies) and customer base (respiratory patients).

Broad incumbents

• Lincare Holdings: Major US respiratory/home medical equipment provider offering home oxygen, CPAP, nebulizers, and ventilators. Same product mix as FreshAir but at significantly larger national US scale.
• AdaptHealth Corp. US public home medical equipment company with strong sleep (CPAP) and respiratory (oxygen, ventilators) franchises. Comparable service categories to FreshAir but operating at meaningful scale across multiple categories.
• Bayshore HealthCare: One of Canada's largest home-and-community health services providers, with home health, pharmacy, and personal care lines. Overlap with FreshAir in respiratory/home health services but operates on a much broader scale and service portfolio.
• Apria Healthcare: Large US home medical equipment provider (now part of Owens & Minor) specializing in home oxygen, CPAP, and other respiratory DME. Closest US analog to FreshAir's product/service mix, scaled nationally.
