What is Canuck Place Children's Hospice?

Canuck Place Children’s Hospice is British Columbia and the Yukon’s pediatric palliative care provider. Over 800 children living with life-threatening illnesses and families from five provincial health regions receive Canuck Place inpatient and community care (in home/in hospital). Canuck Place operates 13 patient beds and 8 family suites through two hospices in Vancouver and Abbotsford. Services include medical respite and family support, pain and symptom management, provincial 24-Hour Clinical Care Line, music and recreation therapy, education and art, grief, loss, and bereavement counselling, as well as end-of-life care. With donors, our talented team, including volunteers, we care for children with short lives and the families who love them. canuckplace.org
