MedX Health, in partnership with Empower
Clinics and The Medi-Collective, launches DermSecure® Screening
Platform Services in London, Kitchener, and Etobicoke
MedX Health Corp. ("MedX" or the "Company") (TSXV:
MDX), a global leader in teledermatology, is pleased to
announce that MedX's leading-edge DermSecure® screening platform
services are being offered in Empower's (CSE: CBDT | OTCQB:
EPWCF) The Medi-Collective ("TMC") locations across Ontario,
Canada.
"As we enter the New Year, we remain optimistic about the
opportunity that lies before us," stated MedX VP of North American
Sales, Paul Ziemer. "The pandemic has put incredible pressure on
health care systems worldwide, further increasing wait times for
those who may need it most. The early detection of skin cancer and
timely access to care is critical to a successful patient outcome.
We are now working with more and more partners like The
Medi-Collective, who recognize the value of our platform and its
ability to save lives ultimately. Demand for Dermsecure continues
to grow, and we are confident that our strategic decisions and the
investments in our platform have put us in a strong position to
establish MedX as a vital tool in the battle against skin
cancer."
The Medi-Collective is currently servicing patients in multiple
Ontario communities and establishing itself as an emerging medical
service provider in Canada's most populous province. In addition to
its extensive roster of existing patients, TMC intends to offer
MedX's screening service to walk-in patients shortly.

TMC is the first launch of the MedX DermSecure® screening platform
within Canada's primary physician clinic network.
MedX's physician-based model allows family practices with
thousands of patients to enhance their healthcare offerings.
Providing skin cancer screenings quickly and efficiently addresses
patients' concerns over the current long wait times. Family
practitioners have enthusiastically welcomed the MedX telemedicine
platform. The service is non-invasive, secure, quick and easy to
use in their offices and does not require specialized staff to
perform scans.
Mike Druhan, MedX President, Dermatology Services, said, "With
skin cancer rates continuing to rise since the 1990s, our
partnership with Empower and The Medi-Collective provides an
enormous opportunity to address the need for early and rapid
detection of melanoma, improve patient outcomes, and potentially
prevent lesions from unnecessarily becoming fatal. We are excited
for what 2022 holds for MedX, as we anticipate more partnerships to
grow our national and global presence and realize our purpose of
saving lives."
