Did you know that there are currently no palliative care beds available in the Sea to Sky Corridor for residents of Mt. Currie, Pemberton, Whistler and Squamish. The Squamish Hospice Society paid a visit to all four Rotary Clubs in the Sea to Sky Corridor to tell us about this current situation and share their dream to create a hospice in our area.
The Rotary Club of Pemberton has committed funds to this important initiative and will be presenting a cheque to the Hospice Society in the near future. Stay tuned....
Squamish Hospice Society actively promotes compassionate care and support to improve the quality of life for people of all cultures with life limiting illness, their loved ones and the bereaved throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor. Our vision is to create an intentional space that reflects the beauty of Sea to Sky Corridor where community members may receive quality palliative respite care, symptom management or most importantly, live their final days in peace and comfort, fully supported by trained medical and volunteer teams.
