The Central Okanagan Hospice Association (Hospice) has worked hard since 1982 to provide care and comfort to those living with or dying from advanced illness and to help the bereaved.
More than 250 Hospice volunteers spend 20,000 hours a year helping 750 clients and another 1,200 family members. That's a $350,000 contribution to the community, but the peace of mind to the dying and the support to their family before, during and after the death is priceless.

The need for these services – palliative care, bereavement support, vigil, one-on-one volunteer services in the community, - will more than double in the next 15 years as more people move here, the population ages and that huge wave of baby boomers, who are now the volunteers, will need the services they now provide. In 15 years, the projected 50,000 hours Hospice volunteers will work, will be worth $1 million to the economy.
