Hospice care is the alternative to dying in a hospital
or alone at home.
A Hospice is a place in a peaceful and comfortable setting where patients and their families can deal with the end of the patient's life with the physical, emotional and spiritual support they require.
There are many wonderful examples of hospices throughout the world.
They have proven that hospice is NOT just a place to die, but it is
A PLACE TO CELEBRATE LIFE. The support of the staff and the volunteers allows the patients and their families to truly enjoy every moment of life the patient has left.
The members of the Hospice Society of Greater Halifax believe that the people deserve to have hospice care as an option in
metro Halifax. As you may guess this takes money and volunteers. Please
join us in our quest to bring hospice care to the
greater Halifax area.
THE MOST COMMON MYTH ABOUT HOSPICE:-
MYTH: A Hospice is where you go when there is nothing more that can be done.
TRUTH: A Hospice is the 'something more' that can be done.
