Everyone deserves a family doctor.

Your gift today will help ensure everyone living on Central Vancouver Island has access to a family doctor, and improved healthcare.

DONATE TODAY

Right now, there are thousands of people in the Central Island area who can’t find a family doctor.

You probably know someone affected by this shortage – it could be a friend, a family member, or even yourself. Every day, more people need access to family doctors as our community grows. Your support today will help us attract and retain more doctors in our region, ensuring that everyone gets the healthcare they deserve.

 

Will you help us?

Why Your Help Matters

The doctor shortage is creating longer wait times at walk-in clinics and emergency rooms. Without regular care from a family doctor, treatable conditions can become chronic, leading to more severe health problems. Our campaign is dedicated to bringing new doctors to the region and keeping them here long-term.

How your donation will make a difference

How the campaign works:

With your generous donation and through partnership with the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, we will attract new family doctors and help them establish clinics by funding the following:
  • Licensing/certification fees of $4,000 per doctor.
  • Relocation costs of $4,000 per doctor.
  • Retention bursaries – to be used for the latest equipment of $2,000 per doctor.
  • Forgivable loans for new clinic equipment – up to $30,000 per clinic.
  • Contributions of $3,000 for exam fees and licensing for newly qualified family doctors who commit to provide locum support for local clinics.

Right now, there are doctors who are seriously considering moving to Nanaimo.

Four are expected to be practicing here within the next nine months! This funding will help each one relocate their practice, and their family, helping ensure they stay in the region for years to come.

Partnering for a Stronger Future.

 

Through partnerships with the Nanaimo Division of Family Practice, and our expansion into Oceanside, we’re building a strong healthcare future for Central Vancouver Island. Together, we’re ensuring that everyone has access to quality healthcare when they need it most.
