Victoria Hospice raises awareness of our programs and services through a
comprehensive annual Media and Communications Plan. We not only respond
to emerging palliative care issues as they arise, but we take a proactive
approach to publicizing our work, our staff and our activities in the community.

"I
recommend this book highly. It is helpful for people in palliative
care, but its clarity and practicality are such that I hope it finds a home
on general acute care wards, the offices of primary physicians, and hospital
out-patient departments." Journal of Palliative Care
