Hope Air provides patients with Uber vouchers to support ground travel between the arrival airport to your hospital, hotel, and back.
Hope Air provides free meal vouchers for patients who are staying overnight in accommodation arranged by Hope Air. This program aims to ease the financial burden of meal expenses for patients traveling for medical appointments.
Hope Air provides accommodations to support travel to medical appointments, including for approved escorts. The availability and/or maximum number of accommodation nights varies by province of residence and available funding and will be confirmed after approval of your application.
Your Impact
Every Canadian deserves access to the medical care they need. But for people in rural, remote and underserved communities, specialized care can be hundreds or thousands of kilometres from home.
Canada’s vast geography creates a gap in universal healthcare: the care may be available, but getting there often isn’t. For families facing financial hardship, the cost of travel and accommodations can put treatment out of reach.
Hope Air helps to ensure distance and cost never stand between a patient and the care they need.
Your support helps make access to healthcare possible, no matter where a patient lives.
