ROCKET DOCTOR AI ANNOUNCES FIRST MUNICIPAL PARTNERSHIP WITH TOWN OF BRUDERHEIM, ALBERTA, EXPANDING RURAL ACCESS TO CARE

Rocket Doctor AI Inc.'s wholly owned digital health platform and marketplace, Rocket Doctor Inc., has entered into a first-of-its-kind partnership with the Town of Bruderheim, Alta., marking its inaugural collaboration with a Canadian municipality to expand access to essential health care service virtually, fully covered by Alberta Health with no user fees. The partnership will launch on Sept. 15, 2025, and will automatically renew on July 10, 2026, for subsequent one-year periods on identical terms.

Through this collaboration, Bruderheim residents will gain access to Rocket Doctor's physician-led platform, enabling video and/or audio appointments with licensed Alberta medical professionals. Services include urgent care, chronic disease management, preventive health and comprehensive primary care, all designed to improve health care delivery in rural communities.

"We are thrilled to partner with Rocket Doctor to bring much needed health care services and support to our community," said Phyllis Forsyth, chief administrative officer for the Town of Bruderheim. "Access to high-quality health care covered by our Alberta Health is essential, especially in smaller municipalities like ours. This partnership ensures that residents can connect with medical professionals more easily, helping us build a healthier, more resilient community."

In Bruderheim, health care challenges reflect those of many rural communities across Canada, where access is limited by staffing shortages, geographic isolation and long travel times for care. These issues have been compounded by systemic pressures within the health care system, including provincewide health work force shortages and the allocation of resources between urban and rural populations. Rural residents also typically face higher health risks, limited mental health access and lengthy wait times while recruitment and retention of health care professionals remain persistent barriers.

The government of Alberta has recognized these disparities, introducing measures such as the rural health action plan (2024 to 2027), physician incentive programs and expanded virtual care initiatives. Rocket Doctor's partnership with Bruderheim builds directly on these efforts, offering a scalable, community-level solution that brings medical professionals and patients together through technology, fully covered by their provincial health insurance.

"Partnering with Bruderheim is a milestone moment for Rocket Doctor as we launch our first municipal collaboration," said Dr. William Cherniak, chief executive officer of Rocket Doctor. "We are committed to partnering with the public health care system and serving communities that face challenges in accessing timely and accessible health care. By working together with local leaders, we can deliver innovative solutions leveraging the most advanced technology to strengthen the health and well-being of residents and public health infrastructure, starting right here in Alberta."

The partnership with Bruderheim underscores Rocket Doctor's mission to bridge gaps in rural health care delivery through innovation and technology. Earlier this year, Rocket Doctor announced strong growth in Alberta, having already served more than 71,000 Albertans, including 35 per cent from communities with fewer than 25,000 residents. Over the past year, physicians on the platform saw 36,779 patients (a 112-per-cent year-over-year increase) while 48 new doctors joined (a 218-per-cent increase), further demonstrating the province's demand for expanded care solutions.
