QEII Patient Assistance Grant - Guidelines 2023
1. Program Information
The QEII Patient Assistance Grant is a new program created by the QEII Foundation to provide financial support to eligible QEII Health Sciences Center patients. Grants of up to $1,000 will help patients pay for amenities like rent, mortgage, lodging and transportation, home utilities, home medical equipment or medical supplies not currently covered under a medical plan while undergoing treatment.
The QEII Patient Assistance Grant aims to lessen the financial burden that many patients face – helping QEII patients when they need it most.
As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our donors to fund these grants. All applicants will be asked to share their feedback to support program improvements and growth. Together, we can ensure the QEII Patient Assistance Grant is available to our patients.
2. Guidelines & Requirements
Healthcare providers/managers within the Nova Scotia Health Authority are eligible to apply for a grant of up to $1,000 per year (maximum lifetime grant of $2,000) on behalf of a QEII Health Sciences Centre patient regardless of the patient’s location of residence.
