The Shuswap Hospice Society is grateful to Interior Health Authority, whose support makes this on-line directory possible.
If you would like to be considered for inclusion in this on-line inventory (at no cost), we ask you to submit a description of the specific community resource you represent that supports dying, death and bereavement as well as your contact information to Shuswap Hospice Society admin@shuswaphospice.ca
The on-line inventory of local Shuswap services is maintained and hosted by the Shuswap Hospice Society.
“ Just as dying is part of the life of an individual, and part of the life and history of a family, caring for those among us who are dying is part of the ongoing life of the community.”
Dr. Ira Byock, Hospice/Palliative Care Physician
