“You matter because you are;
you matter to the last moment of your life;
and we will do everything we can,
not only to help you die peacefully,
but to help you live until you die.”

— Dame Cicely Saunders
Founder of Modern Hospice Movement

The Powell River Hospice Society, a community-based, non-profit organization, offers social, emotional and spiritual support to individuals at the end of their life—through compassion, respect and care, aimed at quality of living and a good death. We also support family and friends in grief and bereavement, and are committed to providing education and advocacy throughout the community.
