About Actum Health:

Actum Health is a clinician-founded, highly dynamic organization, focused on interdisciplinary complex care (in pain, mental health, trauma, addiction and Concurrent disorder). Actum Health is rapidly growing and expanding beyond its initial Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence in South Surrey—to now partnering with and supporting Canada’s Veterans and first responders with chronic pain and/or mental health conditions. Actum Health has a leading-edge team working out of three locations within the Lower Mainland. Surrey is home to two Actum Health locations, one within our state-of-the-art 7000 sq. ft clinic in South Surrey (conveniently located right off the BC-99 highway) and the other in the brand new, first-of-its-kind Centre of Clinical Excellence (CCE) for Veterans and First Responders Health, part of the Legion Veterans Village. Actum Health’s latest initiative, provides a unique & great opportunity to be part of serving and supporting our first responders, armed forces, and Veterans. The third location is a boutique clinic located in Vancouver’s Fairview neighbourhood. Opportunities to work at all 3 locations are available (with Vancouver and the CCE site due to be operational later this year).

Actum Health was born from the desire to do more, to help those that have not had the recovery that was expected. We are a company that values its people and prioritizes the client experience with an uncompromised focus on clinical quality. Our clinicians are valued and respected as leaders in high quality, evidence-based programming.

Actum Health places an utmost importance on healthcare technology and digital tools to support good clinical care, recovery and service user experience.  We continue to develop our own cutting edge technologies and tools with our partner agency to develop the best to be a leader in the field.

Are you a like-minded, passionate clinician who shares our belief in integrated, collaborative health care?

Let’s make a difference together!
