What We Do
Since 2021, we have been delivering health and wellness services to remote and rural communities in British Columbia. Many of the communities we work with have minimal or no road access. Our goal is to ensure there is a sustainable method for marginalized communities and people in distress to access health and wellness services.
Our services reach nearly 3,000 people annually, with offerings ranging from primary care, patient transport, disaster response, and food security programs. In the past year alone, we have conducted over 700 clinical sessions on the traditional territories where our community partners reside.
We fly mobile health teams into communities to set up a variety of clinics right at the doorstep of the communities we serve. These teams are comprised of family doctors, registered nurses, mental health professionals, harm reduction, diabetes care teams, dieticians, traditional healers, occupational therapists, vaccination teams, speech and language therapists, midwives, psychologists, social workers, and more.

Many of the communities we serve do not have medical infrastructure. HWB invests in mobile clinics so that services can now be provided directly within the communities we work with. The clinics we currently operate with our partners include mobile dentistry, optometry, and audiology.

All our flights are carbon-neutral.
We are fully committed to the stewardship of the lands we live and fly on. We recognize that aviation is a significant contributor to global carbon levels. In response, we offset all carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits through the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative.
