Dialogue to Launch Comprehensive Women's and Family Health Care
MONTREAL, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Dialogue Health Technologies Inc. ("Dialogue"), Canada's premier virtual healthcare and wellness platform, announced the upcoming launch of a comprehensive Women's and Family Health offering. Fully built in-house and seamlessly integrated within its platform, this new service deepens Dialogue's ongoing commitment to supporting the health needs of all women, through every stage of life. The rollout will commence in January 2026, beginning with specialized menopause care, which addresses a critical need in women's healthcare.
Dialogue's innovative Women's and Family Health offering will provide evidence-based, whole-person care from trusted women's health clinicians, supporting all women and families through life's most important transitions. This program will offer employees and their dependents access to an in-house team of multidisciplinary clinicians trained in women's health, along with coaching and navigation support, personalized care plans, and educational resources, all delivered through Dialogue's Integrated Health Platform.
"Women's health has always been a priority at Dialogue, and this launch marks an important step towards delivering more inclusive, targeted care that meets the diverse needs of women and their families," said Swati Matta, Head of Women's Health at Dialogue. "This isn't just an expansion of our services, it's a reflection of our commitment to ensure all women have access to timely, comprehensive care that is centred on their unique needs."
Inequities in women's health affect a broad and diverse population, often intensified by intersecting factors such as race, ethnicity, income, disability, and geography. Many in these groups experience conditions that are poorly understood, underfunded, or overlooked. According to the World Economic Forum and McKinsey Health Institute's 2024 report, part of this is due to inadequate training for healthcare practitioners in understanding and addressing gender-specific health conditions, but also in recognizing how common diseases can present and respond differently in women.
Menopause will be the first area of focus. 3 in 4 women experience menopause symptoms that interfere with their daily lives, such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and cognitive challenges, causing 1 in 10 to leave the workforce. These services will be delivered by Dialogue clinicians who will complete robust training, including attending the scientific conference organized by the Menopause Society of Canada. This forms the foundation of a specialized menopause care program, developed with oversight from Dialogue's medical team to ensure that care is evidence-based, patient-centred, standardized, monitored, and continuously improved.
"We recognize the very real needs in women's health, and I'm proud to see Dialogue taking meaningful, proactive steps to close them. Providing healthcare practitioners with evidence-based education on perimenopause and menopause is essential to ensuring that all women receive the comprehensive care they deserve," shares Dr Stephanie Moynihan, Assistant Medical Director at Dialogue. "As a physician, I've seen firsthand how vital it is to offer care that addresses the full picture: physical, mental, and emotional, rather than treating issues in isolation. This is a critical step forward."
Reducing stigma around women's health, especially in the workplace, begins with a more integrated and inclusive approach to care. As expectations around employee well-being continue to grow, companies must move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions and take a more meaningful approach to well-being.

7 Pilates Moves for Better Posture
When you picture someone with good posture, you might imagine a person who can balance a book on her head, shoulders pulled back. But ideal posture doesn't always mean standing ramrod straight, experts say. It's more important to be able to move comfortably through a wide range of positions while feeling balanced and supported. Good posture allows you to sit, stand, squat and perform other everyday movements in good alignment, said Jessica Valant, a physical therapist and Pilates instructor in Denver. This means that your muscles, bones and joints are able to move comfortably without strain. Pilates can be a helpful tool for improving alignment, said Ms. Valant, because the exercises require you to practice balance, coordination and stability. Core strength, a well-known benefit of Pilates, plays a role in supporting your posture. 'The core is like a train station,' Ms. Valant said: All of your movements run through it. Pilates also improves your mind-body connection, which makes you more aware of how you're carrying yourself, said Kira Lamb, a classical Pilates teacher in New York City. Practicing Pilates can also help you move more efficiently as you get stronger, she said. This routine is designed to support your posture by helping to improve your core strength, spinal mobility and pelvic stability. It also builds strength in your posterior chain, the muscles along the back of your body such as the glutes, hamstrings and back muscles. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Reduced capacity at health centre in Pelly Crossing, Yukon, until early September
The health centre in Pelly Crossing, Yukon, will be operating at reduced capacity until Sept. 3, while it only has one nurse on staff. In a Facebook post on Thursday, Selkirk First Nation informed its citizens that the health centre would have reduced services from Aug. 14 to Sept. 3, sharing a notice from the Yukon government. Nigel Allan with Yukon Health and Social Services said the nurse will prioritize emergencies during this time. Non-urgent health care needs, like preventative care or other things that can wait, might need to be rescheduled he said. The reduction in services comes on the heels of a week of reduced service earlier this month when the centre was also operating with only one nurse. The health centre was also closed for several weeks in the spring, and for a day-and-a-half last winter, because no nurses were available. Allan said the Yukon, like many other places in Canada is "dealing with a health HR crisis." "As part of our health HR strategy, we're continuing efforts to recruit health-care providers, including nurses." Allan said nurses working in community health centres often need specialized training to respond to urgent situations, which can make it harder to recruit them. The Yukon government's notice says in emergencies, Pelly residents can call 867-821-444, use the phone outside the health centre or dial 911. For non-emergencies, they can call 811.

Faro, Yukon without primary care paramedic this weekend
There will be no primary care paramedic or nurses in Faro, Yukon, this weekend. In a post on its Facebook page, the Town of Faro said there will be no primary care paramedic in the community from Aug. 15 to Aug 19. The news comes during a temporary closure of the town's health centre because there are no nurses to staff it. The closure began Aug. 6 and is expected to last until Sept. 5. "Community members should call 911 for any emergencies and EMS [emergency medical service] dispatch will coordinate resources as needed," the post said. During the health centre closure, a primary care paramedic was meant to provide emergency coverage. Now, local volunteers might be the first to respond to emergencies over the weekend. "There will be two volunteer emergency medical responders on call, except [from] between August 18 at 8 p.m. [to] August 19 at 2 p.m.," said Nigel Allan with Yukon Health and Social Services. Allan says EMS will continue to respond to 911 calls in Faro and will dispatch the appropriate responders. "So if that's an EMS team from a neighbouring community or deploy fixed-wing [plane] or helicopter transport from Whitehorse, they'll make that determination as they normally would in any situation for a community." 'We're in the wilderness without health care' Douglas Tutty, a retired nurse and a volunteer firefighter who has lived in Faro since 2018, said primary care paramedics are responsible for assessing patients and determining if they require a medevac. Now, without a primary car paramedic, he said those assessments can't be made in the community. He said EMS will have take someone elsewhere to assess whether they need a medevac, and the closest community where that can happen is in Ross River, an hour and 15 minutes away. Tutty is concerned about the town's capacity to respond to a medical emergency this weekend. "We're in the wilderness and without health care." CBC News has reached out to the mayor of Faro for comment. As of publishing time, he had not done an interview.
