More Details

People often wish to spend as much time as possible at home, which may include remaining at home until death. If this is what you want, we will work with you, your family and your doctor to make the necessary arrangements to provide your end of life care at home. Learn more about Nancy Chan Ambulatory Palliative Care Clinic.

It is important to think about advance care planning – informing people of your health care wishes – as you move towards the end of your life. Helpful resources include the BC Ministry of Health Services End of Life website and BC Hospice Palliative Care Association website.
