Everyone who has solved a jigsaw puzzle knows the difference—completing the picture takes more than finding a piece that fits the shape. It must have the right image, too. In healthcare, building a strong team demands the same precision. A resume may check the right boxes—degrees, licenses, experience. But true alignment comes from deeper qualities—communication, collaboration and a shared commitment to patient-centered care. That’s where PryorCare stands apart. It looks beyond credentials to understand what healthcare organizations genuinely need and what professionals truly value. By thoughtfully matching both sides, PryorCare not only delivers hires who fit on paper, but people who strengthen th... Read more

For far too many seniors and veterans, getting to a doctor’s appointment can feel like an insurmountable hurdle. With no public transit, family too far away (or out of reach), and unfamiliar roads to navigate, each journey raises questions: Who will help me through the door? Who will be there if I feel anxious or unsteady? Wheels for the Wise reimagines that journey as part of the care itself. More than just drivers, their veteran- and community-focused teams become trusted companions— calling the day before, checking in on wellness, even arranging direct billing—so that a simple pickup becomes an opportunity to restore independence and connection, one mile at a time. Founded in Ottawa, Ontario, in 2011, the company was born out of one simple but profound insight: people living in isolation need tailored support to regain their independence. Its founder, Jana Mitchell, recognized these struggles firsthand and initiated focus groups to understand the true barriers faced by isolated individuals—especially veterans, who often battle intertwined physical and mental health challenges. From a modest start with one car, she grew Wheels for the Wise into a national service that now operates across nearly every Canadian province. “What sets us apart is our constant commitment to a client-centered experience that prioritizes human dignity, safety, and comfort every step of the way. This isn’t just about logistics—it’s about fostering trust and companionship in vulnerable moments,” says Mitchell. The company customizes services for each individual. Whether clients need a low-to-theground sedan, an SUV, or a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, Wheels for the Wise provides options. It offers proactive phone calls the day before pickups to gently remind clients who may need that extra nudge. For regular clients—especially veterans—the service extends to wellness checks when appointments are missed, ensuring no one falls through the cracks. Personal preferences like language, driver gender, or the desire for a veteran driver are honored, creating an environment where clients feel seen, safe, and respected. .
