About Hope Air:

In Canada, healthcare is universal. Access is not.

Hope Air is Canada’s only national charity providing free travel and accommodations for Canadians in financial need who must access medical care far from home. With 3.2 million Canadians living below the poverty line – including 566,000 children, 191,000 single mothers and 216,000 seniors - access to healthcare is not assured and cost is a huge barrier if you must travel to reach specialists far from home.

The promise of Hope Air is that when it comes to healthcare, no one will be left behind no matter where they live or their financial challenges. Hope Air’s travel and accommodation programs provide patients with an immediate and direct impact on their lives. 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 help keep remote and smaller communities vibrant, enabling Canadians to continue to live where they choose regardless of local access to specialized medical care.
