Bridging the distance between home and hospital for Canadians in need

Bridging the distance between home and hospital for Canadians in need

Hope Air is not an airline.
We're a lifeline.

All Canadians deserve access to the healthcare they need, regardless of income or distance. Where you live should not determine if you live. Your support today and into the future is critical to ensuring that no patient is left behind when it comes to accessing vital medical care.

More people than ever are reaching out for help

As cost of living rises across the country and medical care is increasingly booked on short notice, low-income Canadians are being hit the hardest.

We have provided more than 20,000 travel arrangements in 2023, a 100% increase over 2022.
3.2 million Canadians
live below the
poverty line.
Over 10 million Canadians
live outside large city
centres.
27% of patients would
cancel their vital medical
appointments without
our help.
