The CHPCA is the national voice for Hospice Palliative Care in Canada. Advancing and advocating for quality end-of-life/hospice palliative care in Canada, its work includes public policy, public education and awareness. Established in 1991, its volunteer Board of Directors is composed of hospice palliative care workers and volunteers from Canadian provinces and territories as well as members-at-large.
The Canadian Palliative Care Association (CPCA) was formally established as a national charitable organization in November 1991 and opened the first office in Ottawa in February 1994. The association’s first newsletter “AVISO” was published in both official languages in June, 1992.
Today, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is the national voice for hospice palliative care in Canada. It is a national charitable non-profit association whose mission is to provide leadership in hospice palliative care in Canada. We strive to achieve this mission by supporting research, promoting education and training, improving public awareness of hospice palliative care, and by advocating for increased programs and services. CHPCA works in close partnership with other national organizations and will continue to move forward with the goal of ensuring that all Canadians, regardless of where they may live, have equal access to quality hospice palliative care for themselves and their family.
L’Association canadienne de soins palliatifs (ACSP) a été officiellement établie en tant qu’organisme national de bienfaisance en novembre 1991, et a ouvert ses premiers bureaux à Ottawa en février 1994. Le premier numéro d’AVISO, le bulletin de l’Association, a été publié dans les deux langues officielles en juin 1992. En espagnol, « aviso » signifie « avis » ou « intelligence », et en latin, « avis » signifie « oiseau », des notions qui s’agencent joliment à l’emblème de l’ACSP.
Aujourd’hui, l’ACSP est la voix nationale du secteur des soins palliatifs au Canada. Il s’agit d’un organisme national de bienfaisance sans but lucratif dont la mission est de fournir son leadership dans le domaine des soins palliatifs partout au pays. L’ACSP travaille à réaliser sa mission en appuyant la recherche, en faisant la promotion de l’éducation et de la formation, en sensibilisant la population aux soins palliatifs, et en militant pour l’accroissement des programmes et services. L’ACSP travaille en étroite collaboration avec d’autres organismes nationaux, et continue de progresser dans le but de garantir à tous les Canadiens, où qu’ils vivent, un accès équitable à des soins palliatifs de grande qualité, pour eux-mêmes et leur famille.
