About Stem Health

Stem Health is reimagining the primary care experience for individuals who want a more thoughtful relationship with their health. Physician-led and membership-based, we combine medical excellence with the warmth of hospitality anchored in a beautifully designed flagship clinic at First Canadian Place, opening September 2026. Our care model is relationship-based, data-informed, and built on time, trust, and exceptional service.

You will provide expert psychiatric assessments and consultations for our members, formulate evidence-based treatment plans, and work hand-in-hand with our primary care physicians to deliver integrated, continuous mental health support.

Reporting to the Medical Director, you will join the clinical team when the clinic opens in the fall of2026 working on-site. It is a relationship-based practice where depth of care, thoughtful documentation, and genuine collaboration with the wider clinical team matter as much as clinical expertise.
