Healthcare Professionals
Our Mission
If you or a loved one is facing a cancer diagnosis, you may be experiencing a lot of uncertainty. The one thing you shouldn’t have worry about is how you’re going to get to vital cancer and medical care. That is why we’re here. Hope Air believes that every Canadian should have access to the medical appointments and cancer treatments they need and that where you live or whether you can afford to travel should not impact the care you receive.
