Finding a Sponsor
Sponsorship can be found to assist in paying for transportation and accommodation for the patient and an escort to come to Vancouver for medical treatment. The sponsor may help you to arrange your trip and will be billed for your stay at the Lodge.
On-reserve First Nations patients can approach their Community Health Representative (CHR) at their Band Health Centre to arrange travel accommodation. If your reserve does not have a health centre, on-reserve status patients can look for sponsorship for medical travel with Health Canada.
Off-reserve status persons can apply to the First Nations & Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) of Health Canada. If you are receiving Social Assistance, you can apply to the Ministry to cover your medical travel expenses.
Making a Booking
a. Plan your travel arrangements with your Community Health Representative (CHR) who will be sponsoring your trip. Request your CHR to make a reservation with our Lodge
b. Plan your travel arrangements with your Ministry worker who will make a booking with our Lodge
c. If you do not have a sponsor for medical travel and you are paying out of pocket for your trip, you can call the Lodge Office and book a suite. The full payment for your stay will be required in cash or money order upon check-in.
