Membership Helps Everyone

Whether you use the Health Care Centre for your primary physician, nurse practitioner, dental or hygiene needs, laboratory facilities, to see a physiotherapist or chiropractor, visit the Public Health Nurse with your infant or child,  or arrive here as the result of an emergency call, your membership funds and donations make these services possible.

The Health Care Centre is community funded. Government funds cover only salaries for the doctor and the nurse practitioner as well as some supplies in the Emergency Treatment Room. Everything else is provided through the efforts of fundraising by the Board of Directors.  Your participation is crucial and is appreciated by all the other residents and visitors to this island.  Be a community leader: support the Health Care Centre.

What does membership support?

  • Purchase of life saving equipment and up-to-date medical equipment for use in our treatment room.
  • Maintaining a free medical equipment loan service
  • Liaising with VIHA to provide a core health care system including a Doctor, Nurse Practitioner  and emergency coverage through the First Call Nurse program
  • Providing and maintaining a helicopter pad for use by the local ambulance and air ambulance of BC
  • Maintaining and improving the Health Care Centre facility
  • Providing staff to ensure the facility is run in an organized, consistent and responsible manner
  • Providing health and wellness educational programs and workshops
  • Providing a Seniors Social program to support the most vulnerable among us
  • Providing a Palliative Care program

The Galiano Health Care Society is supported 100% by fundraising efforts and a community-supported yearly tax levy.  We do not receive any government financial support to run the medical clinic, or to run our volunteer service programs.  Without community support in the form of Donations, Memberships and Bequests, we would not have a health care centre on Galiano Island.

You will receive an official Tax Receipt for all of your donations as we are a Registered Charity.  The Society is a Registered Non-Profit as well, and holds an Annual General Meeting each April.  You will know exactly where your donations are spent delivering health care on Galiano.
