Island Health
Island Health currently provides funding to many contract transportation providers, creating support for people located in rural and remote regions of Vancouver Island. As part of this transportation network, People for a Healthy Community will be providing door-to-door patient transportation services for 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 get in touch with our Help Desk staff to assist with travel options and connect you with the appropriate transportation support.

Partnership with
Drivers to Doctors
We would like to start by acknowledging Drivers to Doctors (operated by Gabriola Auxiliary) and their volunteer drivers for a well established and caring service that will continue as per usual alongside MediGo. We are fortunate enough to be able to pool our resources and provide additional support to our community. Thank you to all Drivers to Doctors drivers and the Gabriola Auxillary for their support and continued service!
