About

A MESSAGE FROM MEDIKA NORTH’S FOUNDER

Hello, my name is Robyn, I am a member of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation from Fort Chipewyan, Alberta. I am a passionate RN and entrepreneur. My company is called Medika North, my team and I would love to meet with you. We offer drug and alcohol testing, health screening, health surveillance and workplace wellness programs. I come into Occupational Health with an extensive background, starting off as an RN in the hub of the oil sands at Suncor Energy in Fort McMurray, and from here my passion grew to care for our workforce where our families and loved ones make a living for us. I am looking for companies with the same ambitious goals. Medika North’s mission is to support employers in creating healthy employees and safe working environments through quality services, strategic planning, and comprehensive programs.

Primary Prevention

Health Surveillance for workplace hazards is extremely valuable when disease latency periods are long. Identifying the communities, occupations, working environments, and demographic exposure groups can lead to the best level of care called Primary Prevention.

Lead and Lagging Indicators of Health

The most common indicators used for Occupational Health Management systems are:

  • Lost-time
  • Injury rates
  • Lost work days
  • Absenteeism
These are considered flawed lagging indicators and should be supplemented by leading indicators, such as:

  • Number of health educational sessions provided
  • Number of workers trained in Drug and Alcohol Awareness
  • Program for periodic health surveillance
At Medika North we want to assist your business-health goals with the latest research forward methods all while keeping your company compliant with the Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Code.

Local Industry

Medika North works with local industry to ensure the business-health mandates in Occupational Health & Wellness are met in a timely & cost effective manner. We offer quality customized health & wellness solutions to sustain healthy employees and safe environments.

Business Model

Our business Model is much different from the rest of our competitors. At Medika North we see Occupational Health as a continuous process of quality improvement. We look at your business health no different than your continual refinements in production. We can sit down with your company and customize your specific needs and generate the performance indicators to successfully meet legislative requirements and strategically meet your leading indicator goals. These specified performance indicators are a way to keep track and to know where improvements should be made. At Medika North we believe in continuous quality improvement through strategic solutions.

Quality Assurance

Our quality assurance program will give you peace of mind, knowing your employees are being tested with the most reliable, accurate equipment which meets or exceeds the standards set out by Canadian Federal and Provincial requirements. We maintain the highest standards when it comes to safeguarding your workers personal private and confidential information. Our equipment is calibrated daily along with verification checks, we commission and calibrate our equipment annually to ensure best practice is met and exceeded.
