“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.”

Hike for Hospice

Hike for Hospice is a nationally supported BCHPCA event that takes place the first Sunday of May and sees 100% of all donations used locally.

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.

About Powell River Hospice

We are a registered charity that provides end-of-life and bereavement support to those in the Powell River Regional District, including Tla’Amin First Nation and Texada Island.

For those with a life limiting illness

We provide social, emotional and spiritual support throughout your illness.

For caregivers

Caregiving for a loved one can be both difficult and rewarding. We have a variety of resources to help.

For those who are grieving

The grief journey is unique for everyone. We have trained volunteers, bereavement groups, and resources to support you.

For health-care providers

The Hospice Society works with general practitioners, specialists, and non-medical organizations to enhance palliative support to patients.
