CloudMD Clinic Doctor, Tahmeena Ali, Honoured as BC’s Top Family Physician
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (CSE: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or
“CloudMD”), a telemedicine company revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare to patients, is proud to announce that one of their clinics’ doctors, Tahmeena Ali received the BC
Family Physician of the Year Award from the BC College of Family Physicians.
The BC College of Family Physicians is an organization representing over 6000 physicians across the province. The award recognizes a family doctor who provides exemplary care to patients and takes part in activities that contribute to excellence in family medicine.
Dr. Ali practices full-service family medicine at one of the CloudMD clinics. She was an early adopter to incorporate telemedicine into her practice and greatly assisted with the workflow and development of CloudMD’s patient focused model of care. CloudMD’s hybrid model incorporates virtual care to supplement in person visits. Along with colleagues and representatives from the Surrey School District and the Ministry for Child and Family Development, she created the School Triage Team which provides a much-needed interface between mental health professionals and school teachers. In addition, Dr. Ali is the current chair of the Division of Family Practice of White Rock/South Surrey and previously headed an Acquired Brain Injury unit where she further recognized the power of providing complex psychiatry patients with optimal and supportive follow-up upon discharge.
Dr. Ali is enthusiastic about CloudMD’s technology enabled mental health initiative. The innovative solution focuses on providing app enabled mental health counselling to support patients. Through private and secure online video, people can easily access and book sessions with experienced professionals when and where they need it. The Company also focuses on providing access to mental health to underserved and under privileged communities, which due to geography and the scarcity of mental health professionals, have previously been overlooked.

“I am honoured to be awarded BC’s Family Physician of the Year award, and I am proud of all my peers for our continued efforts during these trying times,” said Dr. Ali. “CloudMD’s technology supports the most important tenet in family practice: longitudinal care. Providing virtual care allows me to care for my patients from Lillooet to Langley and minimizes the barriers for my patients to obtain care from their family physician—the provider who knows them best. That relationship makes it easier for patients to open up about challenging topics, like mental health, even when we talk about it over an app.”
