Get Involved in Hospice

The mission of the Society is to ensure the availability of exemplary palliative, end of life, and bereavement care options in the community of Cochrane and the surrounding area. As well, we have a long-term goal of creating collaborative partnerships with local senior care facilities to create the availability of dedicated palliative beds. This option would allow those requiring end-of-life care to remain in the community closer to their loved ones. Should you choose to become a member, the following benefits are available:

     · opportunity to help shape the future of hospice services in Cochrane and the surrounding area;

     · access to special events at reduced or no cost;
