Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Community Update: Hospice and Nurses

This Nurses Week, we honour the compassion, dedication, and care that nurses bring to our community every day.

For 45 years, nurses and hospice have worked side by side to provide comfort, dignity, and support to children, youth, adults, and families during some of life’s most difficult moments.

We are especially grateful to acknowledge the vision and compassion of Olivia Thomasson and Lynn Green, RN, who helped begin Nanaimo Hospice in 1979.
Their dedication helped build the foundation of compassionate hospice care in our community.

To all nurses — past and present — thank you for the care, kindness, and strength you share every day.
You are truly at the heart of hospice care.
