Savaria is growing. In 2021, Savaria welcomed the Handicare group into the family, joining the Span and Silvalea brands that together encompass the Patient Care business segment of Savaria. Collectively, Savaria (TSX:SIS) designs and builds products to improve quality of life through better mobility.
Together with our legacy brands, Savaria Patient Care now offers a larger and more extensive range of products designed for safe patient mobility and positive outcomes in long-term care, hospital, and homecare environments. Our research and clinically based product portfolio include therapeutic surfaces for pressure management and positioning, medical beds, a complete range of innovative ceiling lifts, slings, and solutions for bathing and personal hygiene.
In our research-driven portfolio, we proudly offer an extensive range of services, significantly enhancing our capabilities. Savaria Patient Care, with its patient-centered approach, diligently addresses every facet of care within clinical and institutional settings.
The merger strategically combines diverse brand experience and cutting-edge technologies, encouraging innovation and unlocking synergies in both product development and research. This collaborative effort is a catalyst for creating advanced solutions to redefine and elevate the quality of patient care.
Savaria Patient Care’s integrated sales approach leverages the expertise of our teams to offer customized solutions, elevating mobility and minimizing the risk of injuries for both caregivers and their clients. From equipment maintenance to adept project management, we are committed to creating the safest, best care environment to help your patients maintain their independence and dignity as they age.

Savaria Clinical Academy, established in February 2023, is backed by a team of clinicians boasting over two decades of collective experience in a variety of clinical settings. This collective expertise allows Savaria Clinical Academy to offer customers and partners unparalleled education and training through a dynamic and comprehensive learning experience.

We have now embarked on our brand transformation journey, uniting these great brands under one industry-leading umbrella and establishing Savaria as an integrated Patient Care solutions and technology leader. During this period of change, our commitment to collaboration and strengthening long-standing relationships with all our business partners remains stronger than ever.
