Medical Travel Assistance

Stronger communities—today! Come on board, Ontario.

Help meet a growing demand for healthcare access in Ontario and across Canada.
At just 25 weeks pregnant, Ivy gave birth to her baby girl, Elo. Being severely premature, Elo needed specialized care that wasn’t available in her hometown of Thunder Bay. But Ivy had no way of accessing that care without moving her family away from their support system.

Thanks to Hope Air supporters, she was able to reach her child’s vital medical appointments and help her grow stronger while staying connected to her home community.

Many other families across Ontario face barriers of time, distance, and cost in accessing healthcare. Help us change that with your empowering donation today.

No patient left behind

Inequality in healthcare access is a major problem affecting communities from coast to coast and the need for Hope Air’s services has never been greater.
In Ontario last year, we fulfilled 1,257 travel arrangements, helping to meet the health needs of 165 patients. This year, we have already fulfilled 1,786 travel arrangements to 204 patients, and we are projecting to achieve over 2,600 travel arrangements for 600 patients by the end of the year. We want to do everything we can to meet the growing need, and your support can help in a big way.

Come on board! Donate today to help people in communities like yours across Ontario and throughout Canada access vital healthcare, no matter the distance. Together, we can support better health and stronger communities by making sure no patient gets left behind.
