Citizen Care Health Solutions (CCHS) is on a mission to personalize and simplify access to quality healthcare, enabling citizens to achieve better health outcomes where they are.
Our journey began in 2020 when we developed flexible COVID-19 screening and testing pods. These pods were used throughout North America at a wide variety of locations including airports, long-term care facilities, healthcare clinics, universities, sports venues and construction sites.
Since then, we have expanded our offering to broadly meet the unique needs of the point-of-care testing environment with innovative IT solutions. As diagnostic testing shifts toward decentralization, the Citizen Care Health team seeks to revolutionize healthcare by offering novel connectivity solutions, advanced data analytics, and software solutions that streamline clinical workflows.
