Providence Health Care - Hospice Palliative Care

Providence Health Care provides palliative and end-of-life care through St. Paul’s Hospital, Mount Saint Joseph Hospital, and community programs across Vancouver. Palliative care focuses on comfort, symptom management, and support for people living with serious or life-limiting illness. The self-referral number connects to a Point-of-Contact (POC) line at St. Paul’s Hospital, where a palliative triage nurse can speak with patients, caregivers, or family members about symptoms, care needs, and possible referrals to hospice, hospital, or community palliative services. This service helps individuals and loved ones navigate care options and access appropriate support during serious illness and end-of-life situations.
