Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge
“We believe in your ability to heal”
Thank you for your interest in the Lodge while you are in Vancouver for medical treatment.
The Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge features beautifully furnished apartments for you to feel comfortable, bring your family, enjoy family home-cooking and focus on the healing path. Each suite has a full size, equipped kitchen so you can cook for your loved one with healing foods and have control over the hygiene of preparation as well as the salt, fat and sugar content of your meals.
The Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge is the first of its kind in BC! We serve over 400 guests per year coming to Vancouver from little towns and villages across the province for surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pregnancy, transplant operation, diagnostic tests, and appointments. Our patient guests are all ages from infants to elders.
Both the concept and the architecture of this project stand as a unique best practice for Aboriginal people and the various other partners in Canada. Our Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge was awarded the Best Practice in Affordable Housing in Canada by CMHC (Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation) in 2006.
