Healthcare Excellence Canada and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (the Partnership) are supporting 23 communities, including Grey Bruce over four years to improve care experiences, access to care and health outcomes.

​

Many current models of palliative care don’t consider the unique barriers faced by people experiencing homelessness or vulnerable housing in accessing care. This can make it harder for them to access this type of care when they need it most. Improving equity in access to palliative approaches to care can:

• Ensure care is delivered in a safe and timely way.

• Reduce emergency department visits and hospital admissions.

• Allow people to receive care with dignity in the environment they choose.
