TORONTO, June 24, 2020 /CNW/ - Connecting with a health
care provider like a physiotherapist or chiropractor once you're
out of the hospital can be a challenge. After a surgery or
procedure, patients are eager to get back on their feet but often
don't know where to access local care. Sunnybrook Health Sciences
Centre is now offering Lumino Health's Provider Search tool on
their patient care pathways website. Lumino Health network is
Canada's largest network of
providers with access to 150,000 health professionals.
Sunnybrook's digital care
pathways aim to reduce some of the anxiety that patients may feel
about their care journey. MySunnybrook's digital care
pathways walk people through their journey from admission to
the time they leave Sunnybrook,
providing tips and resources along the way. Lumino Health's
Provider Search is now included on the website as a navigational
tool to help patients find health care providers virtually or in
their community.
"We understand that patient recovery and healing continues
outside of the hospital," said Craig DuHamel, Vice-President,
Communications and Stakeholder Relations and Office of the Patient
Experience. "We want to help make this process as smooth as
possible for our Sunnybrook
community. Lumino Health's network of health providers will connect
people to the support they need, virtually or close to home."
Lumino Health helps people find health care providers,
connect virtually and access the latest resources and innovations.
Sun Life created the platform as a commitment to help Canadians
live healthier lives. Features of Provider Search and the Lumino
Health platform include:
- Access to over 15,000 health care providers who offer virtual
care services
- Ability to choose criteria such as language preference and
location when searching for local physiotherapists, massage
therapists, mental health professionals and other health care
providers
- Access to more than 14 million user ratings on health care
providers' services

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Sunnybrook to help patients get the ongoing
support and care they need for recovery," said Chris Denys, Senior Vice-President,
Possibilities, Lumino Health. "When it comes to taking care of
yourself, finding the right health care provider, solution or
