TB Vets

TB Vets Help bring respiratory equipment to BC's medical frontline: tbvets.org/donate

Founded as an initiative to provide employment to WWII veterans suffering from tuberculosis, TB Vets has grown over the following decades into what it is today: a leading charitable foundation funding respiratory equipment, research and education in British Columbia and beyond. Every year TB Vets funds approximately 20 ventilators, provides bursaries to respiratory therapy students, contributes to lung research, and continues to support isolated TB patients at Vancouver General Hospital’s TB Ward.

Today is World Mental Health Day. On this day, we recognize that true respiratory health—and true overall health—is as much about the mind as it is about the body. 🫁💬

At TB Vets, we witness daily how critical illness impacts patients beyond physical recovery. Living with a respiratory condition can affect anxiety levels, sleep, and mental well-being. That’s why we support holistic recovery models.

Today, we encourage you to pause, check on a loved one, and prioritize your own mental wellness.
