Meet Inga Tkachenko, CEO and Partner of Prime Health Care Inc with an impressive track record spanning over 14 years in the personal injury sector. Inga's story is both unique and inspiring. At the young age of 16, she embarked on a brave journey, migrating solo from Ukraine to Canada.

Under her leadership, the center has flourished, recently celebrating its 20th anniversary. Over the years the center has positively impacted over 11,000 individuals—a remarkable achievement that has garnered significant media attention.
Inga collaborates widely across the province, forming partnerships with top-tier medical and rehabilitation centers in Ontario and establishing connections with leading personal injury lawyers.
