Who We Are
At the Sunshine Coast Hospice, we provide a range of free palliative, hospice, grief and loss programs, advance care planning and educational resources to support Coast residents.
We also partner with Vancouver Coastal Health to support four hospice suites and a family lounge at Silverstone Care Centre in Sechelt, BC.
Our community of care includes volunteers, clients, donors, staff and local partners. If you are facing a life-limiting illness, we are here to provide comfort, support and compassion to you and those who love you, so you never have to feel alone.
Our vision, mission and values guide the work we do every day, and define our role as a charitable organization on the Lower Sunshine Coast.
Vision
Our vision is to provide compassionate end-of-life support available to all, regardless of circumstances or choices.
Mission

Values
We apply our four core values — compassion, integrity, respect, and service — in support of our clients, families, staff, volunteers and donors.
