How can we help you?

Palliative care is a comprehensive and compassionate approach to care that improves the quality of life of individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families. It provides relief from symptoms, pain, and stress while addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs throughout the illness journey. Palliative care is available to all patients with life-limiting illness regardless of age, prognosis, disease stage, or treatment choice.

Pallium Canada is a national registered charitable organization focused on building professional and community capacity to help improve the quality and accessibility of palliative care in Canada. As the largest provider of palliative care education in Canada, we work with various partners to support large-scale regional and provincial initiatives.
