QEII Patient Assistance Fund

Financial concerns – such as paying for necessities – should not break the focus of getting better when you’re sick. Donors, like you, can help patients when they need it most.

When someone is facing illness or injury, money should be the last of their worries.

Patients need you.

Developed by the QEII Foundation, the QEII Patient Assistance Fund helps patients pay for amenities and services — necessities that can create financial burdens for people during an illness. Grants of up to $1,000 will help patients pay for rent, mortgage, lodging, home utilities, transportation (to medical appointments), food, car insurance/repair, phone services and medication not covered by a medical plan. This patient support is 100 per cent donor-funded — impacting patients and their families directly.

The reality is that illness or injury interrupts daily life, meaning a loss of income, increased travel and strain on patients and their families. These needs have been amplified by the rising costs of living. Now more than ever, our patients need your support.

A word from Alyson Currie

As the cost of living continues to increase, so too do patients’ needs. I see it every day — people’s financial security can unravel fast. It means that sometimes patients are more concerned about the financial burden of being sick than they are about their illness. Your gift today can lessen a patient’s financial worries and help them focus on their health.

Here’s what your support will do for patients.

These are just some of the benefits when you donate to the QEII Patient Assistance Fund today.

Directly impact QEII patients and their families during moments of crisis by providing financial support for necessities of life.

Flexibility to meet patients’ unique circumstances — whether their needs are related to medical care or services and amenities that are causing financial strain.
