We have seen a number of name changes over the last 60 years as the words Blue Cross were becoming synonymous worldwide with quality health care coverage. We were founded as the Maritime Hospital Service Association in 1943 and became known as the Maritime Blue Cross-Blue Shield Association in 1954. We became Blue Cross of Atlantic Canada in 1986 and, when joined with Maritime Medical Care in 1999, the trade name Atlantic Blue Cross Care was adopted. Our expansion into the Quebec and Ontario markets led to the need for a new name that would encompass all three regions. We created the name "Medavie" because it decribes our business and works well in both our English and French markets. Medavie is derived from the English and French words for "medical" and "to life". We offer everything from medical to life insurance.  1, record 2, English, - Medavie%20Blue%20Cross

Au cours des 60 dernières années, il y a eu de nombreux changements de nom alors que les mots « Croix Bleue » devenaient, à l'échelle mondiale, synonymes de protection-santé de qualité. Nous avons été fondés avec le nom Maritime Hospital Service Association en 1943 et sommes devenus connus sous le nom de Maritime Blue-Cross Blue Shield Association en 1954. Nous sommes devenus La Croix Bleue du Canada atlantique en 1986 et, après la fusion avec Maritime Medical Care en 1999, le nom commercial de Service Croix Bleue de l'Atlantique a été adopté. Notre expansion sur les marchés du Québec et de l'Ontario a entraîné la nécessité d'avoir un nouveau nom qui engloberait les trois régions. Nous avons créé le nom « Medavie » parce qu'il décrit notre entreprise et qu'il fonctionne bien en français et en anglais. Le terme « Medavie » vient de « med » pour « medical » et de « à vie ». Nous offrons tous les types d'assurance de la protection-santé à l'assurance-vie.  1, record 2, French, - Croix%20Bleue%20Medavie
