Reshaping palliative care

In 2005, we led a public consultation about palliative care in four languages across the areas served by Vancouver Coastal Health. People told us they needed 24-hour for home hospice care phone lines, partnerships with community agencies and supportive training for doctors, family caregivers and hospice volunteers.

Palliative Care Community Reference Committee

A Palliative Care Community Reference Committee was established to implement these suggestions and ensure that hospice, palliative and end-of-life care needs are identified and addressed in the future.
