Mission Statement

The Hospice Society of Greater Halifax (Hospice Halifax) is a registered not-for-profit organization that supports people affected by life-limiting illness, death, grief or loss. From our operational base at 618 Francklyn Street, Hospice Halifax is making significant headway in establishing Nova Scotia’s first free-standing residential hospice.

About This Cause

Hospice Halifax is dedicated to supporting people affected by life-limiting illness, death, grief or loss. We are a non-sectarian, registered not-for-profit organization committed to expanding awareness about the strengths of hospice care. Hospice palliative care means providing opportunities for individuals and families to uniquely address practical, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while preparing for the individual’s death. Residential hospices provide a home-like setting for individuals who are living with and dying from end-stage illnesses who require holistic care and regular symptom assessment and treatment and care plans. Hospices also help individuals and families cope with grief and loss during the illness and after the individual’s death. Hospice care is safe, high quality, patient-centered, and cost effective. Palliative care, aimed at relieving physical suffering and providing comfort and quality of life, can be delivered in a dedicated section of a health care facility, in an individual’s home, or at a hospice.
