Founded in 1995, Passport Health provides vaccinations, counseling and supplies to international travelers. Passport's low-cost services are offered through hospitals and stand-alone centers. Franchisees even make house calls.
We at Union Ergonomics are dedicated to help union members work better. Currently union workers have to wait long before obtaining appointments due to popularity of our services and the fact that we are one of the few centers in Canada offering ergonomics services and supplies to workers. We would like to see Union Ergonomics in every corner of the world so all workers could have access to ergonomic services. As such we are franchising this unique concept at a very affordable franchise fee and royalty. We also provide financial assistance to qualified franchisees who need financial help in opening up a new Union Ergonomics location. Everyone; regardless of previous work experience may apply to be a franchisee of Union Ergonomics. You do not have to be a doctor, health professional or have any business background to be a franchisee of Union Ergonomics. You need to be a person dedicated to providing great services to workers. Full training and on-going support will be provided to all franchisees. The following countries have standard ergonomics health coverage for workers.
