How You Can Help

Your donation directly supports the expansion of primary care on Salt Spring Island. Funds go toward developing a community health centre and recruiting and retaining physicians to ensure long-term, sustainable healthcare for Islanders.

Salt Spring has no walk-in clinic and limited access to primary care. A community health centre will provide patient-centred, team-based care that is accessible to everyone — reducing gaps in service and improving overall community health.

Recruiting and retaining physicians in rural communities is challenging. Your support helps provide the resources, infrastructure, and housing needed to make Salt Spring a welcoming and sustainable place for doctors to live and practice
