A letter from our President on International Women's Day

On International Women’s Day, I find myself reflecting on lessons learned from women I admire and respect. There are so many strong, courageous, and compassionate women making a difference in the world. Today, my mother, and DriverCheck co-founder Dr. Mary-Jean Page, comes to mind. A highly intelligent, resilient, caring, and creative woman, she was key in building our company from the ground up.

[BLOG] H.R.6: SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act

It’s been referred to as the single largest bill to combat the drug crisis in the history of the United States. In 2017, there were 3,987 deaths linked to the use of opioids in Canada, which represents 11 lives lost per day. Today, more than a staggering 115 people in the United States die each day after overdosing on opioids.
