Empower Clinics Inc has said its fully accredited healthcare practice in Vancouver, British Columbia, has continued to dramatically expand, adding to revenue growth across its divisions.
The company offers the most comprehensive fully accredited COVID-19 testing solutions in and around the Port of Vancouver and Canada Place, and since June 1, 2022, has administered more than 3,000 tests and booked appointments, it said.
The company previously said it exceeded 3,000 tests in its first full month of operation in May 2022 - while still early in the tourist season - providing an essential service to travelers, tourists and adding employment to the local community.

"I believe the continued growth in our testing business is a reflection of our commitment to our customers and clients - think of travelers, cruise ship companies, tour operators - that will use our fully accredited testing solutions," Empower Clinics chairman and CEO Steven McAuley said in a statement.
"Our investment to be a fully accredited operation is paying off, as the dynamic and important cruise ship industry comes back and thrives in Vancouver,” he added. "When we add these advancements to the progress of our other divisions, our growth continues, and we are achieving our goals."
Empower said its COVID-19 testing sites at the Port of Vancouver, Canada Place and Fairmont Waterfront Hotel as well as a concierge mobile service are fully accredited by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia's Diagnostic Accreditation Program.
According to Empower, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority expects more than 300 cruise ship calls for the 2022 season.
Vancouver-based Empower is an integrated healthcare company that provides body and mind wellness for patients through its clinics, with digital and telemedicine care, a medical device company and world-class medical diagnostics laboratories.
