We were honoured to welcome the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) earlier this month as part of their Fall Tour – Ottawa: Strengthening Nursing & Palliative Care. It was a privilege to host President Sue LeBeau and to welcome Val Fiset from Champlain Palliative Care, who organized and facilitated this meaningful meeting.

RNAO represents registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and nursing students across Ontario, advocating for healthy public policy, supporting excellence in clinical practice, and amplifying the voice of nursing across the province. Their work strengthens healthcare systems and empowers nurses to lead meaningful change.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect, share insights, and continue working together to advance high-quality palliative and end-of-life care for rural communities. Thank you to RNAO, President Sue LeBeau, and to Val Fiset for bringing this important gathering to our hospice. 💜
