PRIMED Medical Products has partnered with Medical Surgical & Safety Supplies Ltd. (MSS), one of the leading Indigenous-owned medical companies in Canada, and Mohawk Medbuy Corporation (MMC), a national, not-for-profit, shared services organization. The partnership is part of Canada's continued reconciliation journey and aims to grow the influence of Indigenous businesses across the healthcare supply chains of Ontario and Canada.
PRIMED's President and CEO, David Welsh, emphasizes the company's commitment to reconciliation and support for Indigenous businesses. He believes that collaborating with MSS and MMC is an essential step towards this goal. The partnership currently entails a co-branded line of products and is based on common goals and opportunities for working together to create meaningful change.
MSS, which was founded in 1992, is a certified Aboriginal business that aims to be a trusted and valued partner in the distribution of healthcare services. The company's President, James Hiebert, believes that the partnership with PRIMED is a concrete way to build bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses and communities and chart a pathway for self-determination and economic independence.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) Call to Action #92 is looking for commitment to meaningful and long-term economic reconciliation from the corporate sector. PRIMED, a dynamic Canadian and global manufacturer of medical personal protective equipment, has recognized the importance of reconciliation and growing the influence of Indigenous businesses across Canada's healthcare supply chains.
PRIMED's partnership with MSS and MMC is a significant step towards achieving economic reconciliation in Canada's healthcare industry. By collaborating with leading Indigenous-owned medical companies, PRIMED recognizes the vital role Indigenous businesses play in building a more inclusive and equitable economy. This partnership not only strengthens the healthcare supply chains of Ontario and Canada but also contributes to building bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. Such partnerships are essential in advancing reconciliation and ensuring that all Canadians can benefit from the country's growing economy.
