Meet Sébastien Harbec: Vital defender of Petal client data. 🔒

As Petal’s Security and Compliance Principal Advisor, Sébastien ensures internal security processes meet the high standards of our organization and clients. His nearly 20 years of experience, as well as recent master's degree and CISSP Certification, provide critical context for understanding the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity.

Sébastien’s fueled by Petal's mission, the people who guide it, and the Montréal office’s glorious coffee machine. Inspiration and caffeine—a powerful combo!

His main goal at Petal is connecting the mission with our people by enabling secure, compliant ways of working efficiently.

Now, the big questions...

🏝️ Three items for a deserted island: “A good tent, my eReader loaded with thousands of books, and the office coffee machine.”

✈️ Top vacation destination: “High mountain country with dramatic landscapes.”

🍽️ Dream dinner guest: “Leonardo da Vinci."

🎥 Favourite movie/show: “Difficult to choose, but Foundation based on Isaac Asimov's books.”

🌟 One skill I’d like to master: “Survival skills, because I may be trapped on a deserted island for a while."

Like our clients, we’re lucky to have Sébastien guiding cybersecurity at Petal. Here’s to secure success!

Cyberattacks cost healthcare organizations more than other groups—$10.1M CAD per attack on average in 2025. 💸

This increases the importance of robust data protection for healthcare organizations. As total healthcare cyberattacks increased by 21% from 2024–25, patient wellbeing and provider credibility requires preparation today rather than reaction tomorrow.

Here are three tips to preventing cyberattacks:

🔒 Implement strong access controls: Use role-based permissions to reduce exposure and enforce the principle of least privilege.

🔒 Encrypt data at rest and in transit: Data should be encrypted on servers, in databases, and when moving through networks.

🔒 Train staff on best practices: Human error remains the top cause of breaches. Regular training reinforces security standards.

Make sure your technology partners design with privacy in mind. Petal solutions meet world-class security standards. Our client data is hosted in Canada and remains their property.

Meet Maude Desjardins: Growth maestro with a flair for the spectacular. 💥

As the Senior Manager of Growth Marketing, Maude crushes campaigns like she crushes Yoggies—her preferred at-work snack. Maude's expertise allows care providers across Canada and the world to discover Petal’s solutions. She’s a cherished member of the marketing team who holds a work-hard, play-hard mentality.

Maude welcomes the challenge of driving system-level change in Canadian healthcare. "Working at Petal isn’t a walk in the park,” she says. “We’re building solutions to improve access to care. The challenge is enormous.” Past work as a TV host, product marketer, and campaign planner readied Maude to excel outside of her comfort zone.

Maude loves her Petal teammates for their drive, knowledge, and care. The feeling is mutual!

Now, the big questions...

🏝️ Three items for a deserted island: “A multi-tool—I've seen too many movies not to come prepared—water shoes for both aquatic and land activities, and a satellite phone, so I can call my friends on their birthdays.”

✈️ Top vacation destination: “Iceland. Crazy windstorms and unpredictable snowfalls. Loved it. Also, Iceland is widely recognized as a global leader in gender equality, and Icelandic horses remind me of Bon Jovi. What’s not to love?”

🍽️ Dream dinner guest: “Anyone, really. I’m endlessly curious—with a carefully curated ‘do not invite’ list.”

🎥 Favourite movie/show: “People will drop GOAT titles like La Vita è Bella, The Godfather, or Parasite. But for me, nothing comes close to the mass hysteria around the final season of Game of Thrones. Obsessed.”

🌟 One skill I’d like to master: “Piano. I have a deep appreciation for classical music.”

Stay tuned for a Petal growth strategy launching near you. The chances are, Maude’s behind it.

In 2026, efficiency and integration will drive better, faster care on future-forward teams. 🚀

In achieving high targets with limited budgets, technological solutions are no longer “nice-to-have.” They’re vital—when deployed correctly—to support more patients without adding administrative burden to already strained care teams.

We identified three key trends driving healthcare success in Canada:

➡️ Implementation requiring rapid, strategic deployment
➡️ Interoperability to facilitate smoother workflows for users
➡️ Analytics & Reporting processes aligned with team goals

Health networks are positioned to unlock care capacity through tools designed to simplify daily operations and inform smarter decisions.

After 15 years of delivering positive impact on the care system, we want to say: thank you.

Without the trust of clients, partners, and Petal team members, our mission to build a connected healthcare ecosystem would have seen us further behind.

Instead, Petal solutions have helped connect 10M+ patients and support 3,000+ healthcare organizations. Every step of the healthcare journey is touched by our shared effort.

The impacts are widespread:

➡️ The Government of Quebec saves hundreds of millions in care costs using Patient Hub.

➡️ The Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) reduces administrative burden to make time for patients and improve staff satisfaction through Petal Workforce.

➡️ Clinicians use Petal Billing to build thriving practices by simplifying their medical billing.

The next 15 years await!

Après 15 ans d’impacts positifs sur le système de santé, nous voulons dire : merci.

Sans la confiance de nos clients, partenaires et des membres de l’équipe Petal, notre mission de bâtir un écosystème de santé connecté serait aujourd’hui bien moins avancée.

Les solutions Petal ont contribué à connecter plus de 10 millions de patients et à soutenir plus de 3 000 organisations de santé. Chaque étape du parcours de soins est influencée par cet effort collectif.

Les retombées sont concrètes et étendues :

➡️ Le Gouvernement du Québec économise des centaines de millions de dollars en coûts de soins grâce à Petal Hub Patient.

➡️ Le Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) réduit la charge administrative, libère du temps pour les patients et améliore la satisfaction du personnel grâce à Petal Effectifs.

➡️ Les cliniciens utilisent Petal Facturation pour bâtir des pratiques florissantes en simplifiant leur facturation médicale.

Vivement les 15 prochaines années!

15 Years of Purpose.

Today, we celebrate a journey that started at a kitchen table with one idea: make healthcare work better.

From early days to a team of 400+ across Canada, Petal Health has improved access to care for millions of patients by breaking down barriers and solving system challenges.

This milestone isn’t just about time—it’s about Purpose.

Purpose to help physicians get more time back in their day.

Purpose to help health systems plan, connect, and save millions of dollars that are put right back into care.

Purpose to build patient navigation that expands access to care.

This is what 15 Years of Purpose means to the people who make it happen every day.

Here’s to the next chapter and the even greater opportunities ahead.

15 ans de mission.

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons un parcours qui a commencé autour d’une table de cuisine, avec une idée simple : faire en sorte que le système de santé fonctionne mieux.

Des débuts à aujourd’hui, avec une équipe de plus de 400 personnes partout au Canada, Petal Santé a amélioré l’accès aux soins pour des millions de patients en éliminant les obstacles et en apportant des solutions.

Ce jalon ne concerne pas seulement le temps qui passe — il incarne une mission.

Une mission pour aider les médecins à retrouver du temps dans leur journée.

Une mission pour aider les systèmes de santé à planifier, à connecter leurs équipes et à économiser des millions de dollars, réinvestis directement dans les soins.

Une mission pour bâtir des solutions de navigation des patients qui élargissent l’accès aux soins.

Voilà ce que 15 ans de mission signifie pour celles et ceux qui la font vivre chaque jour.

À la santé d'un avenir rempli d’occasions encore plus grandes!

Burnout leads to vacancies. Vacancies fuel overtime. Overtime increases stress. 📉

The healthcare crisis loop fatigues care teams, and in turn, worsens outcomes for patients. Access to care becomes narrowed system-wide.

Here are key stats illustrating the strain:

➡️ 53% of physicians report high burnout and 94% of nurses show symptoms.
➡️ 22.6 million overtime hours are logged in hospitals.
➡️ 1 in 7 emergency visits could be managed in primary care.

Action is required now to break the crisis loop. That's where we come in.

Le Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM)'s
deployment of Petal Workforce proves what’s possible: 98% less time spent building schedules; 92% staff satisfaction; and 70% cost reduction.

Here’s a Fast Fact you need to know today:

According to a survey by the Canadian Medical Association, 56% of physicians report that scheduling challenges were a major barrier to work-life balance.

It can’t stay this way.

While physicians care for patients, it’s their own wellness that can suffer.

High expectations on physicians to support their patients' needs create hurdles to achieving work-life balance. Physicians reported three key barriers to wellness:

➡️ Lack of time
➡️ Heavy workload
➡️ Scheduling challenges

At Petal, our Workforce Management solution addresses all three through advanced automation and third-party integration to generate fairer schedules and meet department-specific rules. This lets physicians schedule easier, saving time for their patients.
