The HPCO Standards and Accreditation program is unlike anything currently available in Canada.
What makes the program special?
- Developed and reviewed rigorously with experts, specifically for hospice programs and processes.
- Only accrediting body in Canada that focuses specifically on the provision of hospice services and volunteer-based service delivery.
- Promotes focus on person-centred programs and services.
- Encourages financial accountability, transparency and sustainability.
- Become a “Learning Organization” committed to ongoing improvement.
- Tailor best practices to suit the culture of your organization.
The program was originally created specifically for hospices in Ontario. However, the program can be adapted in any region in Canada. HPCO will work with your organization to meet your needs.
Visit our Hospice Standards or Accreditation webpages for more detailed information.

What’s in it for your organization?
Improve your organizational processes
We all know how the day-to-day urgency to provide care and respond to needs in the moment can unfortunately lead to other key organizational priorities being overlooked. HPCO Standards and Accreditation offers a pathway to embedding systems thinking, quality improvement and risk management processes into your day-to-day so that it becomes second nature!
Access to exclusive online tools and HPCO staff to support your efforts
You’re never alone during the process! You always have the support of HPCO staff, peers in the sector, and access to online and offline tools, education, and training that will enhance your chances of success.
Strengthen and expand your community – both internally and externally
With creative and dedicated engagement of staff, volunteers and Board members, there’s nothing that can’t be achieved. Mobilize your internal and external communities to ensure everyone knows just how valuable hospice is!
Testimonials
“HPCO accreditation provided us with the opportunity to pause and take an introspective look at our procedures and practices; allowing for both change and growth. More importantly, the process allowed us to move from focusing on our current state towards developing a long-term vision for our program and define impact for both client services and our sector.”
-Lisa K., Jewish Hospice
