National Hospice Palliative Care Week is a time to celebrate and highlight the incredible work being done to provide quality palliative care across the country. Join us in recognizing the impact of palliative care on individuals and families, and to call for better access to this care for all.
In honour of National Hospice Palliative Care Week, COHA warmly invites the you to take part in a series of free events designed to educate, connect, and support those navigating serious illness, caregiving, or grief.
Community Information Sessions:

These sessions will highlight the principles and values behind hospice palliative care, how to navigate the care options in the Central Okanagan, explore the roles and relationships within the circle of care, and how COHA’s holistic programs and services can provide comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals and families.
