Iridia Medical Enabling Peace of Mind since 1998 Thanks for having a look at our page! Since you're here, let's have a conversation!

We aim to provide you with the most up-to-date information with what's happening at Iridia Medical as well as current offers and specials. Iridia Medical was founded in 1998 under the name Global Medical Services. We specialize in providing innovative, practical solutions to enhance the delivery and quality of healthcare for populations across Canada. Our services fall into four primary areas:


Medical Consulting
Iridia Medical has influenced healthcare delivery and provided emergency preparedness guidance for public and private sector organizations across North America. Our clients include health authorities, public healthcare facilities, EMS providers, private surgery and diagnostic imaging facilities, and police and fire departments. Paramedic Services
Iridia Medical is one of western Canada's top paramedic service providers. Our comprehensive programs have created a new industry standard for care in remote and/or high-risk work sites and encompass everything from the paramedic teams and equipment to telemedicine-supported medical direction. AED (Automated External Defibrillator) Programs
As the founder of BC's first public access automated external defibrillator (AED) program, Iridia Medical is passionate about promoting easy access to life-saving tools. We distribute top-of-the-line AEDs and provide training, support, and medical direction services to ensure that every client receives full value from their unit. Medical Education and Training
We have overseen the training and certification of over four thousand lay rescuers in the use of AEDs, and over three thousand medical professionals via our advanced training programs, such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

Did you know firefighters face a 14% higher cancer‑related mortality rate, with 18 types of cancer being recognized in BC as occupational diseases?

We recognize Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month and stand in support of firefighters who put their health on the line every day to protect our communities.

Thank you for your courage, dedication, and service.

Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day. At Iridia, we’re joining the conversation on mental health.

Hear what some of our staff members have to say:

“Mental health matters to me because everyone carries something you can’t always see. Open conversations help reduce stigma and remind people they’re not alone. Finding something you genuinely enjoy—whether it’s movement, a creative outlet, or time outdoors—can be a simple but powerful support when you need it.”

“Mental health is important to me because taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies.”

“When I prioritize mental well-being at work, learning becomes easier and I feel less overwhelmed. It brings clarity, balance, and a broader perspective, helping me think bigger and work more harmoniously with others.”

Let’s break the stigma and continue supporting mental health, today and every day. 💙

What a fun afternoon spent giving back with Whole Way House, an organization that supports vulnerable seniors and residents in community housing through programs that foster connection, stability, and belonging.

Back in December, we decorated the residence for Christmas, shared cookies, and spread some holiday cheer. Afterwards, we headed to dinner, where we wrapped up the night with a lively White Elephant gift exchange and went home with some fun prizes.

Moments like these truly highlight the Iridian spirit, the joy of coming together and making a positive impact in our community.

Here’s the story we promised of how we have a THIRD AED to give away.

In the spirit of Community, Nelson Tennis Club didn’t just celebrate their own win, they went above and beyond.

They had reached out to us with an incredible offer - to pitch in and make sure the third-place team also received an AED.

Their contribution of half the cost of an AED, together with Iridia’s support, made it possible for us to provide a third one to a deserving participant.

Because of the Club's kindness, Coalition to End Homelessness qathet will now have life-saving equipment to protect their community.

This is what true teamwork and compassion look like - thank you, Nelson Tennis Club, for making a difference!

This , we take a moment to pause, reflect, and honour the countless individuals who have served and continue to serve our country with courage and selflessness.

Remembrance Day is not only about looking back at history, but also about recognizing the strength and resilience that continue to shape our communities today. It reminds us of the cost of freedom and the collective responsibility we all share in fostering peace.

As a team, we are taking this day to reflect quietly on the sacrifices made by so many. May their legacy inspire us to lead with empathy, kindness, and respect for one another.

Lest we forget 🌺
