Palliative care is about much more than the end of life. It is about enhancing quality of life, preserving dignity, and providing compassionate support to residents and their families.

That is why the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is proud to stand with Pallium Canada in calling for a National Palliative Care Training Standard for Long-Term Care. Together, we can strengthen workforce training and elevate care across Canada’s long-term care sector.
