THE ORGANIZATION
Hope Air is Canada’s only national charity providing free airline travel accommodations, meals, and ground transportation programs for Canadians in financial need, who must travel for medical care far from home. Long distance medical travel can be a material barrier that prevents patients from timely access to diagnosis and treatment for a variety of health conditions. The promise of Hope Air is that “no patients will be left behind”, regardless of location or financial means
.
As a result of Hope Air support, thousands of Canadians each year reach medical care rather than being forced to postpone or cancel medical treatments due to financial constraints. Hope Air’s programs keep remote, rural, and smaller communities strong, enabling Canadians to continue to live where they choose, regardless of limited access to specialized medical care.
Since its founding in 1986, more than 170,000 travel arrangements have been facilitated, including over 10,000 travel arrangements in 2022. Without Hope Air, 69% of patients said that they would not be cured and 94% indicate that they had a better health outcome because of Hope Air support. Hope Air works with a broad group of partners and supporters including airlines, airport authorities, volunteers, hotels, provincial governments, local and regional health care providers and corporate, foundation and individual donors.
