HELLO AND WELCOME!
The Happy Liver Society of BC is a non-profit society focused on providing housing to support patients and their families from all over British Columbia as they need to travel to Vancouver General Hospital for a life-saving Liver Transplant. Liver transplant patients must stay in Vancouver for up to three months following their transplant for post-transplant care as an out-patient.
The Happy Liver Society opened Stacey House in September 2008 -- a “home away from home” for post-operative liver transplant patients. It is located one block away from Vancouver General Hospital. Stacey House is a one-bedroom apartment that will sleep up to four people. The Happy Liver Society of BC provides for the rent and utilities of this suite.
The Happy Liver Society is raising funds to support Stacey House and to promote awareness of liver disease to the greater public. We promote immunization for Hepatitis A and B, testing of all people for Hepatitis C, and early screening and detection of liver disease in general.
There are many different ways you can help support the Happy Liver Society and Stacey House.

Trevor Linden attended Karen's HLS event at Metro Town "Save On Foods" in 2010 (she was still awaiting a liver transplant) ... Geoff (post Liver Transplant patient) visits Trevor Linden ... Sept 2012 Trevor shares a message to our dear friend Karen Stacey who recently received the Gift of Life - her liver transplant!
A life taken to soon!
It is with deep regret that we have to say goodbye to our dear Melanie who lost her battle on Wednesday, August 19th 2015. She was a 2x liver transplant and bone marrow recipient who lived every day not thinking about herself but others. She gave back to her community volunteering through various charities and to the Happy Liver Society in many ways. She will be dearly missed. RIP Melanie. |
