HPCO Annual Conference Bursary Program for Indigenous Workers

HPCO is committed to working to improve inclusion and eliminate barriers for Indigenous people working in hospice palliative care. HPCO’s First Nations’ bursary was introduced in 2018. Applications are encouraged from Nurses, Social Workers, Social Services Workers, or Personal Support Workers working in, or with an interest in hospice palliative care in Ontario.

 

Advance Care Planning

Health, illness and dying are deeply personal experiences. We recognize that everyone will approach these differently. We continue to partner with organizations to produce culturally safe and diverse resources.
