What's in a name?
"Aegis" signifies our unwavering dedication to both our patients and staff
The name “Aegis” originates from a Greek word referring to the goatskin shield used by Zeus for protection. At Aegis Health, we embody this spirit of protection for our patients, staff, and reputation.
To emphasise the correct Greek pronunciation, we adapted the name to include a circumflex over the “e,” guiding people to pronounce it correctly and not as “a.” This circumflex also symbolises a “roof,” representing the protective care we provide to our patients.
The golden “i” in our name signifies our unwavering dedication to both our patients and staff, highlighting the premium quality of care and commitment at Aegis Health.
