Empower Clinics Inc said that Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has awarded a three-year contract to its wholly-owned subsidiary MediSure Canada to provide diabetes testing solutions to inmates in federal prisons.
The multi-year contract is worth an approximate total of C$1.5 million. This is the third time that MediSure Canada has won the CSC contract as part of a public Request for Proposal tendering process.
"MediSure Canada continues to perform, delivering results in both sales and launching innovative products," Steven McAuley, chairman and CEO of Empower Clinics, said in a statement.

"It's an impressive feat when a client as prominent as the Government of Canada is a happy repeat customer of our diabetes testing solutions. This sales endorsement bodes well for our revenue generation efforts into other federal or provincial government agencies in Canada. Governments know that diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting people living in Canada."
CSC is the federal government agency responsible for administering sentences of a term of two years or more, as imposed by the courts. CSC is responsible for managing institutions of various security levels and supervising offenders under conditional release in the community.
"Building a government customer base with trust and loyalty towards the MediSure brand is a top priority. We know repeat customers tend to spend more, are more likely to try our new products, refer new government clients and overall help to improve our profitability over time," said Mario Cortis, president of MediSure Canada.
MediSure Canada is a Canadian medical device company dedicated to bringing value to the high cost of diabetes, both to patients and insurers.
Empower is an integrated healthcare company that provides body and mind wellness for patients through its clinics, with digital and telemedicine care, and world-class medical diagnostics laboratories.
