Partner with Bruyère

Ways to partner with Bruyère for mutual benefit

Companies who can demonstrate action on social issues can see an increase in growth because their customers, investors and employees are paying attention. At Bruyère, we are seeking partners who can contribute to solving challenging issues in health care. As a partner, you will elevate brand loyalty, play a vital role in shaping a brighter future in healthcare, and demonstrate a shared vision and values with employees and clients.

What can Bruyère offer?

Bruyère can provide a positive brand association. As an academic hospital specializing in aging, rehabilitation, and complex and continuing care, Bruyère provides a safe and agile environment to develop and test the latest technologies that will change how Canadians grow older - and your business can contribute by becoming a partner.

Bruyère also can offer a number of marketing opportunities, to help raise your profile with using our various channels and associating our brand with yours within the community.

Bruyère’s assets include social media, our website, e-signage across our campuses, e-newsletters, and more. We also work in close collaboration with partners such as Fifty Five Plus and FACES magazines, host small-and-large scale fundraising events and participate in various community events.

We look forward to working with you to create a meaningful and mutually beneficial partnership.
