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.
