Submitted by Mission Hospice Society The Mission Hospice Society was founded in 1985 as a non profit society by Lilian Dudfield to provide compassionate care and support to the dying and the bereaved. Hospice emphasizes “care not cure ” for the terminally ill and the provision of social, emotional and spiritual comfort for the patient, family and friends throughout the final stage of illness, at the time of death and during bereavement.
The programs and services of the Mission Hospice Society are free. We offer bereavement support services including one on one sessions with our Bereavement Coordinator. Mission Hospice also has a widows support group, children and teens support group and grief support. "Compassionate Friends" is also offered, which is a support group for bereaved parents. The Mission Hospice Society is part of the Palliative Care Team at Mission Memorial Hospital which cares for patients diagnosed with life-limiting illnesses and, in partnership with Fraser Health, the Society provides programs, services and funds all patient care comfort needs in the Christine Morrison Hospice. Together, we strive to facilitate and create a wonderful and loving experience for all who pass through Hospice and your support allows us to continue this work. The Mission Hospice Society depends on the financial donations and support of our community, we invite you to be a part of our 40th year providing compassionate care and bereavement services to our community. In addition to this milestone we will also be celebrating our 20th annual gala.
