Annual Report 2024 - 2025
A Community Powered Backbone for End-of-Life Support in Canada
Home Hospice Association strengthens the way communities care for people who are dying by building a shared foundation that allows caregivers, organizations, and community groups to support one another with confidence, compassion, and dignity. We focus on strengthening relationships and developing collective readiness so that local organizations never have to navigate end of life care for those they support alone.
When communities have access to practical support, clear guidance, culturally grounded tools, shared language, and trusted practices, they are better equipped to walk beside people at the end of life with confidence, compassion, and dignity.
