Helping Sanguen means supporting the entire community to thrive

A donation to Sanguen helps support vital front-line, preventative healthcare services for at-risk individuals. While the return on investment (ROI) in prevention can be hard to measure immediately, the long-term cost savings are significant. By preventing emergency room visits and slowing the progression of chronic conditions, these services reduce overall healthcare costs and improve quality of life.

Our services and support help to reduce emergency room visits and long-term treatment costs. Distributing things like Naloxone kits to prevent opioid-related overdoses, not only helps to keep folks alive but slows congestion in the emergency rooms. 

Long-term savings can also be seen in our Hepatitis C outreach. Preventing liver transplants, which cost $121,732 on average in Canada, through early testing and treatment ($14.48 for an antibody test and around $65,000 for treatment) is another way to lessen the burden on the healthcare system.

Your donation supports:

  • Reducing emergency room visits with harm reduction services like Naloxone distribution and overdose prevention and monitoring.
  • Hepatitis C testing and treatment outreach, preventing costly medical interventions
  • Providing healthcare to high-risk populations through mobile health vans
  • Improving quality of life for folks who are marginalized due to the housing and affordability crisis
  • Help build connection and wellness for folks who are homeless and struggling with other complex health and mental health issues

Every donation, big or small, directly contributes to the services that help to keep our community healthier and safer. Thank you!
