Our goal is to serve 7,500 patients a year.

The driving force behind the merger is our goal to increase both the reach and scope of services. This includes high-quality care for those facing life-limiting illness, as well as bereavement counselling services for anyone affected by grief. ​By teaming up, we have extended and improved our range of services, giving more people access to support and the very best care.
