Hospice provides compassion in a time of COVID
"Victoria Hospice should be celebrating 40 years of providing end-of-life care for south Island residents. It can’t, which means another year of flying under the radar for the staff and volunteers who have made Victoria Hospice a North American leader in the area of palliative care since it started in 1980." - Travis Paterson, Oak Bay News

Victoria Hospice’s Flagship Program Successfully Shifts to Online Format
By June 2020, we recognized that the public health restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic meant we had to adjust the delivery of our Fall PCMI program to an online format. “It was such a short time frame in which to pivot. But we were eager to embrace the flexibility of an online format and, of course, ensure everyone’s safety. That was priority number one.”
Victoria Hospice Accredited with Commendation

Letter: “Even in her absence, Mum continues to guide and inspire us, leading us to healing.”
We were just kids when our family experienced Hospice for the first time. Our Dad was diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumour in 1997. Everything happened so fast and we are eternally grateful that Victoria Hospice was there for us.
