We receive less than 15% of our annual operating budget from government sources and rely on the generosity of our donors and small community grants to raise the balance of our operating budget each year.
We work closely with Island Health to ensure all hospice protocols are in line with government standards.
Our dedicated staff work with the Board, Society Members, and Volunteers to ensure efficient delivery of all our programs and services to the community.
