Wheels for Wellness provides transportation to centralized, non-emergency, medical appointments for those requiring it. It takes those who need transport for over 45 km (each way) to their doctor鈥檚 appointments. 

They serve the Comox Valley all the way down to Victoria, providing necessary travel options for the sick and elderly who cannot make the journey on their own. Wheels for Wellness only asks for details such as needing help with a walker or other mobility issues. 

But they are closing their services as of Dec. 31 as they lack funding to keep the service running. The service relies on donations to keep their transport running and the funding has run out. They are no longer asking for donations to continue. 

With 48 hour notice, a person can book a trip anywhere from the Valley down to Victoria for an appointment with door to door service. All drivers have been criminal record checked and have a 10 year clean driving record.  

The service has declined to bid on a new contract in for 2025, therefore it is not looking for further donations at this time.
