Vancouver, BC — February 24, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Rocket Doctor AI Inc. announced that its wholly-owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., has partnered with Lethbridge County, Alberta, to expand access to essential healthcare services virtually. This marks the second collaboration with a Canadian municipality, with services fully covered by Alberta Health and no user fees for residents.
The partnership will launch today and automatically renews for subsequent 2-year periods on identical terms. The Rocket Doctor platform will be tailored to Lethbridge County residents, supporting needs including urgent care, chronic condition management, primary care, and mental health services. This collaboration addresses critical primary and urgent care gaps in rural communities, especially for residents without a regular family physician.
Dr. Bill Cherniak, Founder & CEO of Rocket Doctor Inc., stated that access to healthcare should not depend on postal code. He said that by partnering with Lethbridge County, they are delivering a localized, high-trust digital healthcare solution designed specifically for rural Albertans, making it easier for families to see a doctor, renew prescriptions, and manage their health without unnecessary travel or wait times.
Tory Campbell, Reeve, Lethbridge County, stated that enhancing access to physicians will have a direct impact on the wellbeing of their communities. Campbell said that this partnership with Rocket Doctor provides an immediate, practical option for people who are struggling to access primary care, while maintaining continuity, privacy, and quality of care, and that Lethbridge County continues to seek innovative ways to support their residents.
Rural communities across Alberta face challenges in accessing timely primary and urgent care. This initiative combines Rocket Doctor’s digital care model with existing public health infrastructure, along with Lethbridge County’s commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of its residents. Rocket Doctor will deliver a county-specific care experience, ensuring fast, secure access to licensed Alberta physicians with care covered by Alberta Health.
Residents in Lethbridge County face challenges accessing healthcare due to geographic remoteness, distances to healthcare facilities, transportation barriers, and the current physician shortage in the region. Through the Rocket Doctor platform, residents can access timely, high-quality care with an Alberta-licensed physician or specialist.
Rocket Doctor has continued to expand its presence across Alberta, as an example serving 16,417 patients in Q3 2025, versus 9,090 patients in Q3 2024, exhibiting a 81% year-over-year-increase. The platform is helping extend care to underserved regions and strengthen continuity of care for residents who may otherwise face barriers to timely medical service, and support patients in both urban and rural communities by responding to the growing need for accessible primary care.
Lethbridge County is a rural municipality in southern Alberta that surrounds the City of Lethbridge and is home to more than 10,000 residents across hamlets and agricultural lands. As the most productive agricultural municipality in Alberta, the County is known for its strong and diversified agricultural economy, supporting world-class agri-food production, livestock operations, and innovation that drive regional growth.
Rocket Doctor AI Inc. delivers physician-built, AI-powered solutions designed to make high-quality healthcare accessible throughout the entire patient journey. A cornerstone of the company’s proprietary technology is the Global Library of Medicine (GLM), a clinically validated decision support system developed with input from hundreds of physicians worldwide.
Alongside the GLM is Rocket Doctor Inc, and its AI-powered digital health platform and marketplace. Having helped empower over 300 MDs to provide care to more than 700,000 patient visits, our proprietary technology software and systems enable doctors to independently launch and manage their own virtual or hybrid in-person practices – improving efficiency, restoring autonomy to MDs, and expanding patient access to care.
We are committed to reaching underserved, rural, and remote communities in Canada who often lack access to family doctors and supporting patients on Medicaid and Medicare in the United States. With advanced AI, large language models, and connected medical devices, Rocket Doctor AI is redefining modern healthcare.
