Introducing HPCO’s New Mount Pleasant Group Equity in Action Award

Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, with the support of Mount Pleasant Group, is proud to announce the creation of the Mount Pleasant Group Equity in Action Award.

This award acknowledges initiatives that improve access to hospice palliative care in equity-deserving communities across Ontario.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Mount Pleasant Group Equity in Action Award, which recognizes outstanding efforts in improving access to hospice care for equity-seeking communities,” said Rick Firth, President and CEO of HPCO. “This award celebrates the dedication and innovation of organizations that are making a significant impact in ensuring that everyone has access to hospice care. We believe that by highlighting these achievements, we can inspire others to continue striving for equity and excellence in hospice care.”

This award is an opportunity to raise the profile of initiatives currently offered by hospices in partnership with the community, while recognizing there is still more work to be done to achieve equitable services throughout Ontario.

“Mount Pleasant Group is deeply committed to ensuring that every Ontarian, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the care and compassion they need at the end of life. Through the Equity in Action Award, we hope to highlight and celebrate the incredible work being done to break down barriers in hospice palliative care,” said John Monahan, President and CEO of Mount Pleasant Group. “Our partnership with HPCO reflects our belief in fostering a more equitable future, where everyone can experience dignity and support in their final days. It is an honour to support those making a profound impact in communities across the province.”

This award is one component of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario’s strategy to improve access to care and HPCO is most grateful for Mount Pleasant Group’s support to make the award possible.
