About

Operation Compagnons d'Armes is a charity and a conventional clinic that bridges field experience and research. Its clinical work generates field data that feeds into research projects, while innovations developed in research are implemented in the field. Opération Compagnons d'Armes develops mobile and cybersecurity solutions for health data in mobile contexts. We offer healthcare through a mobile clinic, consulting, scientific research, and humanitarian projects. Our services include primary care for homeless veterans, help with VAC (Veterans Affairs Canada) applications, and recreation programs.

History

This project started within MEDINT CBRNE Group. Operation Buddy Check was created on January 28, 2016. Two issues drove its creation: over 1,500 veterans without homes, and the lack of family doctors in Quebec.

The mobile clinic has grown since 2025. Founding members: Stephane Bourassa, Marc Dauphin, Francis Adam, Nadine Laflamme, François Léger, François Pelletier.
