Our partners
Partnering to build palliative care capacity
At Pallium, we are committed to advancing palliative care through collaborations with our valued partners. Within this spirit of collaboration, we foster a culture change and transform our society into a skilled, informed, and compassionate one with respect to palliative care.
Together with our partners, we are transforming the landscape of palliative care in Canada.
Health system partners
Our health system partners are at the heart of our mission to advance palliative care across Canada. From leading organizations and educational institutions to large-scale national initiatives, together, we are ensuring better and more compassionate care for patients and families.
Featured partner
Building capacity in Ontario
Together with Ontario Health, Pallium Canada implemented a large-scale palliative care training initiative that brought much needed palliative care education to almost 3,000 health care professionals across Ontario.
Funding partners
Our funding partners and donors enable us to undertake our work to equip health care professionals and communities with the knowledge and tools to provide palliative care to every Canadian. We thank them for their generosity and ongoing support.
Advancing palliative care in Canada
With the support of a transformational gift from the J & W Murphy Foundation, we’re advancing palliative care education in Nova Scotia. Together we’re paving the way to ensure that more people have access to timelier, more effective, and more compassionate palliative care.
”Our family is very proud to support palliative care initiatives in Nova Scotia with our donation to Pallium Canada. Like so many families, we have faced challenges in accessing palliative care and were very fortunate to be the beneficiaries of compassionate care for our dad in his home from paramedics trained in Pallium’s LEAP™ Paramedic. Our donation continues our commitment to improving the quality of life for those facing life-limiting illnesses and their families.
