Toronto, ON [May 19, 2026] — For many Canadians, accessing healthcare isn’t just about wait times, it’s about distance, cost, and the ability to get there at all. In 2026, KPMG Canada, through the KPMG Foundation, is continuing to help close that gap with a renewed $75,000 donation to Hope Air.

This two-year pledge for 2026 and 2027 is yet another expression of KPMG’s commitment to help patients travel to essential medical appointments far from home, extending a history of supporting Hope Air which dates back to 2022.

For families like Sawyer’s, that support has been transformative. Born after suffering a stroke, Sawyer, Hope Air patient from Kelowna, BC, requires ongoing specialized care not available in his home community. His family once faced long, difficult, and expensive journeys to access treatment. Through Hope Air, those trips have become manageable; reducing both the financial strain and emotional toll of repeated travel. Instead of focusing on logistics, Sawyer’s family can focus on what matters most: his health and progress.

“KPMG’s continued support helps make these journeys possible,” said Mark Rubinstein, CEO of Hope Air. “Behind every flight is a patient or family navigating an already challenging situation. Their support ensures patient don’t have to do it alone.” In 2025, the KPMG Foundation contributed $4.3 million to educational institutions and Canadian charities with a focus on creating meaningful, long-term impact—particularly for underserved communities. This approach closely aligns with Hope Air’s work to improve access to healthcare for Canadians living in rural, remote, and underserved regions. “At KPMG, we believe in supporting initiatives that create lasting, positive change,” said KPMG Foundation Chair Nancy Adie-MacKay. “Hope Air’s work improves access to care and strengthens the well-being of communities across the country.”

As demand for medical travel continues to grow, collaborations like these are critical. Together, Hope Air and KPMG are helping ensure that no matter where someone lives, they have a pathway to the care they need.
