Subsidy Program

One of the mandates of the Artists' Health Centre Foundation is to assist artists with financial need to pay for the non-OHIP alternative health treatments offered at the Al & Malka Green Artists' Health Centre (AHC). The Foundation has established a fund to provide limited subsidies to eligible professional Canadian artists (from all arts disciplines) with occupationally related health care needs to be applied toward the cost of alternative treatments at the Artists' Health Centre that are not covered by public or private health insurance plans.
