We’ve Reached Our Goal!
Dear Volunteers, Members and Staff,
I am so pleased to announce that we have reached our goal in raising the much needed funds to build our New Supportive Care Centre!
The most recent donation we received to help us achieve our goal was from the Estate of Maggie Rodgers. Maggie passed away on March 23rd, 2016. She was a long time, devoted volunteer and donor with our organization. Maggie described herself as a ‘lifelong nurturer’ who found that giving back was a great way to feel fulfilled. With her final donation she has left a legacy of lasting care.
We are forever grateful for each and every donation, no matter the size, and to each and every Volunteer (both the Society and Thrift Store) – for without their dedication and belief in our vision, we would not be able to help those in our community who are facing end of life or grieving the loss of a loved one. Thank you.
With Gratitude,
Beth Kish,
Executive Director
More Hospice Palliative Care support for Peace Arch
The Province has provided $240,000 for improved hospice palliative care services in White Rock/South Surrey.
The BC Centre for Palliative Care distributed the funding to the Peace Arch Hospice Society towards development of its new supportive-care centre that will support patients and families requiring hospice care across White Rock and South Surrey and those who will use the new hospice beds being built in White Rock. Eight of the beds will be new, while seven are replacing existing hospice beds within Peace Arch Hospital. The supportive-care centre will provide training to volunteers to support all patients and families in the new hospice facility.
