The Vancouver Friends for Life Society

The Vancouver Friends for Life Society welcomes people in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland facing life challenges associated with HIV, hepatitis C, cancer and other life-interrupting illnesses to participate in specialized support programs.

Founded in 1993, and built on the belief that no one should have to face the many challenges of serious illness alone, The Vancouver Friends for Life Society is a holistic wellness centre with a mission to provide emotional, informational, and practical support to people living with life-interrupting illnesses. Our philosophy recognizes the connection between mind, body, and soul with a view towards supporting the whole person.

Our wellness programs are intended to complement primary medical care and are offered in a safe and confidential environment, designed to help our members gain control over their health, reducing the anxiety and isolation that is sometimes associated with managing their illness.
