A research team with the Marathon Family Health Team and NOSM University is looking for Northeastern Ontario residents who have used the Northern Health Travel Grant within the past year.

The study aims to better understand the true cost of medically necessary travel for rural residents. Participants will be asked to complete a 15 to 20 minute survey about their most recent reimbursed medical trip, including travel expenses and other challenges they faced along the way.

Researchers hope the information will help assess how well the Northern Health Travel Grant offsets the financial burden of travelling long distances for healthcare.

To participate, individuals must be at least 18 years old, have travelled for medical care within the past year, and have received reimbursement through the Northern Health Travel Grant.

Participants may receive a $25 honorarium, although only a limited number remain available.

Researchers say they would also welcome responses from anyone willing to share their experience without receiving the honorarium, as they hope to gather as much information as possible to help paint a clearer picture of the financial impact of medical travel in Northern Ontario

Interested residents can contact researcher Travis Vosdingh at [email protected] for more information or to participate in the study.

Fire officials thanked residents for their cooperation as dry conditions continue across the region.
