ABOUT US:

For nearly 100 years, Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island has supported Island kids and youth with complex health needs. We know that thousands of Island families need to travel far from home to get health care for their kids. Our work focuses on supporting the health journeys of these families by reducing barriers to accessing care.
Our Homes Away From Home – Jeneece Place in Victoria and Qʷalayu House in Campbell River – provide welcoming, affordable accommodation just steps from major hospitals, where out-of-town families can stay close to their child when they need health care. Our Bear Essentials program supports families with the cost of health-related travel and specialized equipment for their kids.
The Foundation’s work is funded entirely by donors. Learn more at islandkidsfirst.com.
