See the video below, and more videos in our blog post.

Here at MHCare Medical we highly appreciate each step taken by our partners in community giving - especially when it comes to improving the healthcare of Albertans. We had the honor to be present at a demo session of several medical devices acquired by the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation with our support! It was extremely honorable and pleasant to learn that all devices are actively used by healthcare professionals and they are helping real people in preventing and healing from several diseases.

Here at MHCare Medical we are proud of being involved in a number of community giving initiatives!  

Here is the 2022 overview, and we are not done yet!

The October 14th event was dedicated to Enhancing Medical Equipment at the University of Alberta. The goal was to raise $250,000 for the University Hospital Foundation to help support specialized equipment used for the detection of colonic and small bowel cancers often impossible to detect through other systems. MHCare Medical was privileged to be among the sponsors of this event which successfully reached and surpassed its fundraising goal.

In Canada, the stats relating to child abuse are truly overwhelming! A staggering one in three girls and one in six boys will experience an unwanted sexual act before their 18th birthday!  Even more disturbing is that 95% of child sexual abuse cases go unreported.  On August 31st, MHCare Medical joined Scotia Bank and other partners in a charity golf tournament to support Little Warriors, the national charity that takes care of this cause. The golfers raised $105,000 during this event.

Proud to sponsor Edmonton's most vibrant event of this summer: Taste of Edmonton! At the official launch on July 21st, MHCare Medical's senior management was pleased to meet the organizers of the event as well as several officials present at the opening ceremony: David Shepherd, MLA Edmonton-City Centre, and Randy Boissonnault Minister of Tourism Canada.

The festival continues on Churchill Square near Edmonton City Hall till July 31st. Everyone is welcome to enjoy great food and performances by local restaurants and artists!  The MHCare Medical has already visited the event and had a great team-building opportunity.

MHCare Medical and its President, Sam Mraiche, provided  the gift of enhanced mobility to Political Science student Hussain Al-Hussainy at the University of Alberta on April 29, 2022.

Al-Hussainy started his academic studies at the U of A in the fall of 2020.  He quickly realized that the short time frame between classes, vast university campus and mobility challenges he faced due to cerebral palsy were going to make it a challenge to get to and from classes in a timely manner.  Al-Hussainy has used a walker since a young age to provide mobility assistance, but this mode of support just wasn’t cutting once he had to navigate the lengthy pathways between buildings on campus.  

Al-Hussainy’s wish was to have a custom-designed power wheelchair specked out for his exact needs to help him get around more easily, but this goal was not within his reach given the high cost of this equipment.  When Mraiche heard Al-Hussainy’s story, he was touched by the tenacity of this young man, who despite his challenges, was still dedicated to his studies and a promising future for himself.  

Mraiche immediately wanted to help and made the decision to gift this life changing device to Al-Husseiny.

Mraiche and the MHCare Medical team are excited to be a part of Al-Hussainy’s journey and can’t wait to see all the places he will now go!

During Ramadan and keeping up with the season of giving back to communities locally and internationally MHCare Medical has shipped a fully functional ambulance to a much-needed village in Lebanon.

Sam Mraiche, The Founder and CEO of MHCare Medical, sponsored the servicing of the vehicle to ensure the vehicle is mechanically sound and working optimally, the ground and sea shipping costs to export the vehicle to Lebanon, as well as the costs required to import the vehicle into Lebanon.  

Many people and organizations united to make this happen and we’d like to give thanks to each of those organizations for their time and resources:

Donation of Ambulance: Associated Ambulance Edmonton
Acquiring and Logistics: Rotary Club of Edmonton West and Rotary Club of Riverview
Bodywork: Empire Collision
Materials: Carlson Body Shop Supply
Servicing: Alberta Honda
Storage and support: Myshak Group

We are inspired by everyone who takes the time to give back locally and internationally and are very excited for the people of Lebanon who will benefit from this generous gift.  The team at MHCare Medical sincerely wishes everyone a safe, healthy, and happy Ramadan!
