Your HSA EDMP representatives - June 2019 

A stronger safety net for HSA members

How would you take care of your family if you got sick or became unable to work?

We assume our health benefits will take care of us, but for many years disability management programs have varied from employer to employer, leaving a patchword of coverage with many holes.

That's why HSA has worked to develop the Enhanced Disability Management Program (EDMP). Jointly developed with employers and other unions  over several years. EDMP is an employee-centred, proactive and customized disability management program for employees with both occupational and non-occupational illnesses and injuries.

Right now, EDMP is being made available for HSA members covered by the health science professionals collective agreement and the community health and support collective agreement, but HSA is working to extend this program to all our members.

• An Introduction to the Enhanced Disability Management Program for HSA Members

• Memorandum of understanding
