Tsawaayuus is a one story, 31 bed, complex care facility funded by the provincial government Ministry of Health under the Continuing Care Program and licensed under the Hospital Act.

Design and operation of Tsawaayuus reflect the West Coast Native culture. We advocate for priority placement of Aboriginal people in our facility.

We are a non-profit society governed by a Board of Directors.
