Travel Assistance for Non-Emergency Medical Care

Island Health currently provides funding to many contracted transportation providers, creating support for people located in rural and remote regions of Vancouver Island. As part of this transportation network, Western Splendour Tours (Tour Salt Spring) will be providing door-to-door patient transportation services for Salt Spring Island residents. Transportation is available to help those with barriers in accessing trips to and from Island Health appointments, facilities or locations.

If you or someone in your care requires travel assistance for a local or an out-of-community appointment, please connect with your Island Health care provider or please contact our Help Desk staff to assist with travel options and connecting you with the appropriate transportation supports.
