Collective lives inside a bigger community. The Patient Collective is the heart of Unum Co., a growing group of patients and caregivers across Canada who share a passion for advocacy, lived experience, and reshaping the healthcare system from the inside.
When you join the Collective community, you're joining the Patient Collective too. That means real relationships, not just research opportunities.
We recognize that system change begins with the people within the system and those experiencing it.Megan Marsiglio, Co-Founder of Unum Co.
