Your Ticket will help loved ones stay close in times of crisis.

Imagine your loved one needing vital medical care, life-saving surgery, or cancer care.  Now imagine driving more than 200km to access that care. 

Each day families from North Vancouver Island  and the North Coast of BC Travel 4 hours of more to receive medical care at Campbell River Hospital.

 During moments of crisis, this travel time combined with finding appropriate accommodation near the hospital can contribute to increased emotional stress and economic stress for both patients and their families.   Often time’s people will forgo medical treatment, and when they do visit the hospital their health is at greater risk.

This 10 bedroom home will serve 32 communities and provide a safe, comfortable home away from home for patients and their loved ones seeking medical care that they cannot receive in their home communities.
