Together, we can
Ensure everyone has access to quality, compassionate palliative care.
Our Goal
Our goal is to ensure that our community members have quality, compassionate care when their disease is no longer responsive to treatment.
Through multiple settings, whether it be at home or in the hospital. Lacombe Palliative Care Society helps fund the different organizations in our community to allow for the best care possible.
In providing palliative care, we:
- Affirm life, and regard dying as a normal process.
- Emphasize control of pain and manage other symptoms
- Focus on quality of life as defined by the dying individual and his or her family
- Offer resources and contact information to help the family cope during illness and bereavement.
- Offer education to assist with palliative care and dealing with loss.
- Provide funding in different areas of the community to assist as needed.
