Purpose of the Hospital Comforts Program (HCP)
The Hospital Comforts Program (HCP) ensures that all members of the Canadian Forces (CF) who find themselves hospitalized for longer than 48 hours will have access to telephone, television and internet services for the duration of their stay in hospital. The program will also provide funds to ensure that hospitalized members are able to buy toiletries and canteen items such as books and movie rentals while they are recovering. An important part of the program includes Operation Small Pack that provides specially designed clothing with CF logos to wounded members that come right off the battlefield who cannot be provided non-military clothing prior to being admitted to a hospital.
The HCP enhances and complements, it does not replace, existing public and non-public programs. The Program fills the gaps by providing for the unforeseen and often immediate needs that CF members may have due to conditions of service.
The HCP works with the already established and substantial existing support programs offered through the Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services (CFPFSS) and elsewhere, to CF members.
