Chantelle Snow, Administrative Assistant, Health Promotion
“I appreciate the comprehensive benefits I have access to as an employee of CFMWS. With this health coverage, my family and I can regularly visit the dentist and eye doctor, and access massage and physiotherapy, which has been invaluable for our overall well-being. The drug coverage gives peace of mind, knowing that our medical needs are well taken care of.
In a time when Canada is experiencing a shortage of medical professionals and many are without a family doctor, it is especially helpful that our benefits recognize Nurse Practitioners as medical practitioners for diagnosis. This flexibility ensures we can receive timely and effective medical care without unnecessary delays.” -

"I found myself grappling with an unforeseen back injury that quickly escalated into the worst pain of my life. After enduring days of agony, I made my way to the hospital, where the emergency doctor administered a couple of injections for the pain and sent me home with prescriptions to manage this pain. I had already taken extra-strength Tylenol, and now I hesitated about taking the prescribed medication, fearing potential interactions. With my doctor's office opening hours still 4 hours away, my only option was a return trip to the hospital, distressing knowing the hours of wait time I would have to face. Not to mention the embarrassment of having to tell the dr. I could not clearly recall the instructions I was provided.
Then it hit me – Dialogue. I decided to register. The process was surprisingly quick, taking me just about five minutes. I typed out my question and around 15 to 20 minutes later, a health professional called, and a chat window was started. I was thankful for the quick processing time.
I shared pictures of my medications, explained my predicament, and the Health provider conducted quick research. In a matter of minutes, I had clear information on each medication and their purposes. The professional was kind and courteous, providing a lifeline of support in my moment of need.
In the end, Dialogue proved to be a valuable resource, offering practical guidance and alleviating my anxiety. I had never expected to use the service in this manner, but in that critical moment, it became an indispensable tool.” -

“I cannot praise Dialogue enough. Their services are amazing whether for medical or legal matters. Their response time is amazing. I logged a request and within the hour I was able to talk to a very kind doctor who put in a request for blood work. The paperwork came through the app practically instantaneously. Then the day I got my blood work done, I got a message from Dialogue the same day to confirm the results. Not only did Dialogue offer professional services, but it saved me a trip to a walk-in clinic and it saved me from taking a half a day off work. I am at peace knowing that my husband and my adult child can also use Dialogue.
I also used Dialogue for a legal matter. Within the hour, a lawyer answered my questions and within a week, someone from Dialogue followed up.” -
