Building on a strong foundation in both the US and Europe, the entry into Canada positions Hims & Hers to lead the next era of digital health, centered on providing access to customer-first, affordable, and personalized care.
This strategic move is expected to help accelerate the launch of Hims & Hers’ comprehensive weight loss program in Canada next year, timed to align with the first anticipated availability of generic semaglutide anywhere in the world. Almost two-thirds of adults in Canada are overweight or living with obesity, yet access to effective, proven treatments remains limited due to high costs and barriers to care. Livewell's strong local presence and Hims & Hers' innovative platform will help make personalized, high-quality care more accessible to a broader Canadian audience.
To best serve its new Canadian customers, Hims & Hers has established dedicated local leadership. Canadian business leader Austin Kouri will take the helm in-market as the General Manager of Canada, working closely with Hims & Hers’ advisor and new Chief Medical Officer in Canada, Dr. Sandy Van, MD, CCFP, ABOM Dipl, a leading Obesity Physician. This underscores the company’s commitment to localized leadership, understanding, and specialized medical expertise.
"Our expansion into Canada is a direct response to critical public health needs, particularly around the obesity crisis," said Andrew Dudum, co-founder and CEO of Hims & Hers. "This serves as a fundamental next step in delivering on our core promise: to democratize access to personalized, high-quality care. We are charting a path toward bringing the trusted Hims & Hers experience to more and more global markets over the coming years."
“Bringing Hims & Hers to Canada is a powerful investment in the health and wellness of Canadians,” said Austin Kouri, GM of Canada at Hims & Hers. “Our digital platform can complement the health system, providing access to specialized, timely, and affordable care, especially for prevalent, persistent conditions like obesity. Our goal is clear: to ensure every Canadian can easily access the care they need to help live a healthier, more fulfilling life.”
"The demand for effective and easy-to-access obesity care is continuing to grow in Canada," said Antoine Arbour, co-founder of Livewell. "Joining Hims & Hers represents a vital step forward, allowing us to be a part of the global movement to democratize access to essential care. By combining our expertise, we can begin building the foundation to reach millions of Canadians nationwide."
The acquisition consideration is comprised of all cash, funded from Hims & Hers’ balance sheet. Hims & Hers expects to continue expanding into more specialties in Canada and around the world as demand for access to personalized healthcare continues to grow.
