About MyHealthspan

Started at a kitchen table by an oncologist who saw people arrive too late.

Dr. Zia Poonja and Rex Farrand met at Zia's kitchen table. As an oncologist, Zia saw patients arriving too late with too little information. Rex brought human-centric product thinking; Bradley Jawl added healthcare operations depth. MyHealthspan is what they built.

Founded in Victoria, BC. Members across Canada.
