Heartwood House is off to an incredible start 💙

In just 12 weeks, 15 of 18 homes are already filled at Salt Spring Island’s new affordable housing for healthcare workers, helping attract new staff and support those already serving our community.

This project has already helped bring 10 new hires to Lady Minto Hospital, including international recruits who could only say “yes” because housing was available. 🏡

For healthcare workers like Seyi, a newly recruited nurse, Heartwood House means more than just a place to live...it’s a fresh start in a community that needs them.

We’re so grateful to the community and partners who made this possible.

Their efforts are a fantastic example of how passion-driven community initiatives can make a real difference for our hospital, patients, and care teams.
