About Us

InspireHealth(IH) has provided integrative health and wellness care to over 7,000 British Columbians (BC) diagnosed with cancer since 1997. While our programs have a cancer focus, the concepts are applicable to the treatment of all chronic diseases and the support of health.  The BC Government has funded the expansion of InspireHealth throughout BC with the goal of providing access to integrative care for all BC residents living with cancer. We have established new regional centres in Victoria and Kelowna with plans to further expand in Abbotsford and Prince George.
