About Jade Bridge Health
A small Canadian company with a team on the ground in China.
Jade Bridge Health was founded by David, a Canadian airline captain who lived and ran a business in China for ten years and speaks Mandarin.
It started with a friend’s father, who is paraplegic. David gathered his medical records, found a specialist in China who agreed to take on his case, and sat beside the family as interpreter when they met the doctor. Along the way he saw how hard it is for families to do this alone: language, hospital systems, visas and daily life all at once.
Then it was his own turn. After an episode of chest pain, David faced a 12-month wait to see a cardiologist in Canada. He flew to China instead and had his answers the same day.
Our bilingual team now does that work for others, with the same care we would want for our own family.
How we work
Honest about evidence
We tell you what is approved, what is experimental and what is not worth the journey.
Paid by you, not the hospital
Our fees are fixed and published, so our advice is not shaped by commissions.
Your doctor stays involved
We encourage every client to review options with their own physician.
