Welcome to Pallium Canada
We are a national, non-profit organization focused on building professional and community capacity to help improve the quality and accessibility of palliative care in Canada.
Who We Help
Our Vision
Palliative care is everyone's business.
Improving palliative care in Canada is everyone’s business, not just the responsibility of a small number of palliative care specialist physicians and nurses. Every community has the potential to transform our society into a skilled, informed, and compassionate one with respect to palliative care. Whether you are a health care organization, health care professional, community leader, or influencer, you can help make this happen.
