Who we are
BC Centre for Palliative Care is a provincial non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and dignity for individuals and families who face challenges living with a serious illness or coping with grief and bereavement.
We do not do this alone
We work with partners in the health system, community sector, and research institutions to enhance access to high-quality palliative care in all care settings and throughout the serious illness journey.
Together, we co-develop and spread the adoption of innovative solutions, essential resources, and standardized education programs across the province.Â
Our work is guided by research and lived experiences.
