Joella Almeida, co-founder and CEO of MedEssist, is transforming pharmacy care by bridging the gap between traditional pharmacies and walk-in clinics.
With a background in payments and e-commerce, Almeida entered healthcare technology after recognizing inefficiencies in how pharmacies deliver care.
MedEssist is pioneering pharmacy health clinics, enabling pharmacists to offer walk-in consultations, prescriptions, and preventative care services. With 30 clinics launched, the company is expanding healthcare access while alleviating pressure on hospitals and traditional medical clinics.
Recognizing its impact, Calgary.tech named MedEssist one of the 10 homegrown Calgary startups to watch in 2024.
