The week of May 3-9 was designated National Hospice Palliative Care Week and its planners encouraged people to spread the message on the importance of quality hospice palliative care in our country, and talk to at least 10 people in one’s circle of connections about the importance and availability of palliative care services. In Canada today, only 16-30 per cent (depending on where one lives) of people who die have access to hospice palliative care and end-of-life services. The goal of good palliative care is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in care for persons approaching death, so that the burdens of suffering, loneliness and grief are lessened.
