TB Vets Charitable Foundation
Arming Frontline Medical Heroes with Life-Saving Respiratory Equipment
Since 1946
-----------------------
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.
