MedX Health Corp announced the launch of two locations for MediX Screening Services in Ottawa, Canada.
The company said that both locations will now offer MedX scanning services and accept walk-in patients.
"This represents the next step in our business plan for North America," said MedX vice president of North American sales, Paul Ziemer, in a statement. "ProMed Pharmacy, under the Leadership of Lubna Fawaz, is a perfect model of modern health care delivery as it integrates many services and, most importantly, telehealth services on demand for their patients.”

He added: “Patients can now enter the pharmacy and have a telemedicine consult with a General Practitioner and receive an immediate referral to the Dermsecure Screening Service on site.”
Ziemer noted that incorporating a telemedicine consult with a general practitioner is a vital step to make DermSecure screening services easily accessible to the public by facilitating both the referral and the screening at the same location.
The Mississauga, Ontario-based company said that it continues to focus on expanding its DermSecure Screening Platform network across North America. To date, its business model has been focused on adding multiple market verticals, such as medical clinic and building hubs, medical scanning clinics, mobile and remote medical practices, esthetics and skin care clinics.
The addition of ProMed Pharmacy to MedX's Pharmacy network will allow for the "Walk-in-Patient" to get service for their concerns if they do not have a family doctor or do not have time to get a direct referral.
"MedX remains focused on expanding its footprint into existing and new target markets, and our team is continuing to establish and accelerate many new commercial relationships and partnerships," said Mike Druhan, MedX president, dermatology services. "I remain confident in our team’s ability to expand MedX's teledermatology platform to new markets and greatly improve outcomes for those dermatology patients seeking high-quality, virtual services."
Teledermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that offers safe and effective virtual care – patient screening and assessment – eliminating the need for in-person appointments with a dermatologist.
MedX is a global leader in teledermatology through its high-definition image capture technology, SIAscopy, and its secure, cloud-based patient management system, DermSecure, which transmits and stores patient data throughout the assessment process.
