Patient Travel

Aboriginal Patients’ Lodge does not have funding for its operations. Our success relies on the patronage of Band Health Centres, Patient Travel Coordinators and Health Canada sending their patients to stay with us. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve you, your clients, and your community when you need us most.

Step 2: Book a Suite

Now you are ready to make bookings for your community’s medical travel needs. Please call Reservations:  (604) 707-9191 to check for availability.

Once Lodge staff has confirmed that space is available for the period that you are looking for, you can fax the Lodge Office your purchase order to fax (604) 707-9135.

Bookings are made on a first come first serve basis. Guests must be receiving medical treatment in Vancouver and must have Aboriginal ancestry

Step 3: Booking Confirmation

Once we have your purchase order, the Lodge Office will fax you a Confirmation of Booking. Bookings are not guaranteed until a Booking Confirmation is faxed to you from the Lodge Office. The suite you have booked will be guaranteed for the dates on your Confirmation. Extensions can be made if space is available.

24 hours cancellation notice is required or you will be charged for one night.

Step 4: Arrange a Check-in Window with your Estimated Time of Arrival

Please book a check-in time when our patient guest will be arriving so that staff will be prepared to greet them. Please ask the patient guest to call us if that expected time of arrival changes due to travel delays. The Lodge is a secure building, so a sign will be posted at the front door to greet our guest with the buzz code to enter. Staff will help settle guests into their suite, complete guest registration and issue keys.

Step 5: Billing

A bill for room charge will be mailed to you upon check-out. Payment is due 40 days from the date of billing.
