The Prince George Hospice and Palliative Care Society launched its 4th Annual Appeal, themed “Legacy of Compassion. Securing Tomorrow.”
The campaign is a way for the society to go out to the community to remind residents of the importance and impact of the Hospice, and encourage donations for its support programs.
Executive Director Donna Flood explains that community support goes a long way.
“Our Hospice is only very partially funded from Northern Health.”
“They support the work we do at Rotary Hospice House, but we have so many other programs that we support the community with that we’re seeking donations in support of that.”
According to the society, 39 per cent of the Hospice’s budget comes from the health authority, with the remaining 61 per cent coming from the community.
Community members are also able to arrange a tour of the Hospice to learn more about what what it does, and what sort of programs it has.
More information about the hospice and where to donate can be found on their website here.
