Aboriginal Patients' Lodge
The Aboriginal Patients' Lodge is the first of its kind in BC! They serve over 400 guests per year coming to Vancouver from communities across the province for surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, pregnancy, transplant operation, diagnostic tests, and appointments. Patient guests range in age from infants to elders. The Lodge is the top choice for long term patients who need to cook for their special diet and heal during treatment.
Owned and operated by Lu'ma Native BCH Housing Society, they opened our doors on October 1st, 2004 to serve Aboriginal communities of BC and Yukon for patient travel. The Lodge depends on revenue from room charges to break even. Your staying at the Lodge contributes to their ability to continue to operate.
Inspiration to build the Lodge came Aboriginal patient advocates from BC Womens Hospital & Health Centre who found the need was great for an accommodation that is culturally safe and appropriate.
