Wheels for Wellness - Patient Transportation on Vancouver Island
Disability Services, Seniors Services, and Transportation
Provided by Wheels for Wellness Society
Provides a quality service for the patients of Vancouver Island who require transportation to their non-emergency medical appointments.
Wheels for Wellness requires advanced notice in order to book a driver and vehicle. Two weeks is preferred, but short notice may be attainable in most circumstances. If you are physically handicapped we will need to know well in advance in order to provide an adequate vehicle. This includes the requirement to take a walker. Your volunteer driver will be a polite and courteous individual with excellent driving skills and knowledge of routes to your appointment. Drivers are 'Professionals', have criminal records checks, and a 10-year clean driving record.

Vancouver-specific: Service will only go to Children's Hospital in Metro Vancouver.
