ROCKET DOCTOR ANNOUNCES INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH LETHBRIDGE COUNTY TO EXPAND ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND URGENT CARE FOR RURAL RESIDENTS

Rocket Doctor AI Inc.'s wholly owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., has entered into a partnership with Lethbridge county, Alberta. This marks the second collaboration with a Canadian municipality to expand access to essential health care services virtually, fully covered by Alberta Health with no user fees. The partnership will launch today and automatically renews for subsequent two-year periods on identical terms.

• The partnership will expand accessibility to Alberta Health-covered care, providing residents with access to licensed Alberta physicians virtually, from the location of their choice, with no user fees.
• Rocket Doctor's platform will be tailored to Lethbridge county residents, supporting a wide range of 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, particularly for residents without a regular family physician.

Rural communities across Alberta continue to face persistent challenges in accessing timely primary and urgent care. This initiative directly addresses those gaps, by combining Rocket Doctor's clinically proven digital care model with existing public health infrastructure, along with Lethbridge county's commitment to supporting the health and well-being of its residents. Through this partnership, Rocket Doctor will deliver a county-specific care experience tailored to the needs of Lethbridge county residents, ensuring fast, secure access to licensed Alberta physicians with care covered by Alberta Health from the comfort of home/a secure location of the patient's choice.

Residents in Lethbridge county can face challenges accessing health care, due to geographic remoteness and distances to health care facilities, transportation barriers, and the current physician shortage in the region. This partnership can have a direct and immediate impact on residents who lack a primary care provider, as well as those who just need quick, easy access to a physician. Through the Rocket Doctor platform, residents are able to access timely, high-quality care with an Alberta-licensed physician or specialist covering a range of needs, from urgent care, chronic condition management/primary care and mental health services.

"Access to health care should not depend on postal code," said Dr. Bill Cherniak, founder and chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor Inc. "By partnering with Lethbridge county, we are delivering a localized, high-trust digital health care 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."

For Lethbridge county, the collaboration represents a practical response to the day-to-day realities faced by residents who do not have a primary care physician, or must often travel long distances or wait for non-urgent and urgent care. The initiative is designed to support local families with a convenient, trusted option for accessing care while keeping health care delivery rooted in the community.

"As Lethbridge county continues to seek innovative ways to support our residents, enhancing access to physicians will have a direct impact on the well-being of our communities," said Tory Campbell, Reeve, Lethbridge county. "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."

The partnership with Lethbridge county underscores Rocket Doctor's mission to bridge gaps in rural health care delivery through innovation and technology. 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 an 81-per-cent year-over-year increase. By working with licensed physicians across the province, the platform is helping extend care to underserved regions and to 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.
