During National Hospice Palliative Care Week, we celebrate and highlight the work that goes into providing quality palliative care nationwide. |
As we recognize the impact of palliative care on individuals and families, we call for better access to this care for all. Our hospice societies in British Columbia and the Yukon join in the activities and initiatives of the National Hospice Palliative Care Week that occur during the first full week of May across the nation. Visit your community hospice societies and be part of the celebration.

The BC Hospice Palliative Care Association (BCHPCA) recognizes the traditional land of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples who have walked before us and minded the lands we now call home for time immemorial. Hospice Societies have been able to support, aid and care for many people on these same lands. The BCHPCA Offices are located on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and TsleilWaututh Nations.
