OUR VISION
    Our communities receive equitable, responsive and proactive
    palliative care support.

    OUR PURPOSE
    To provide or facilitate palliative care services to all people in need.

    OUR GOALS
    • To engage with our communities to understand their needs
      and strengthen the delivery of services that meet these.
    • To seek equity of outcome recognising cultural, ethnic and
      social needs.
    • To work collaboratively with all health and social care
      providers to ensure our communities receive the care they
      need.
    • To grow our knowledge through research and education to
      strengthen the quality and delivery of care.
    • To be a great place to work with shared values where people
      feel included and belong.
    • To build the future sustainability of our hospice on the aroha
      of our community.

    W H AT I S PA L L I AT I V E C A R E ?
    Palliative care supports you and those you care about to live with
    a life-limiting illness where death is inevitable. The Palliative Care
    Team recognises that from birth to death we all have physical,
    social, emotional, and spiritual needs that must be valued.
    Palliative support can happen anywhere – at home, in hospital, in
    hospice, or residential care.
    The Palliative Care Team focus their care on living well at the end
    of life and regard dying as a natural process. Palliative care values
    life and does not shorten it. It helps you understand what is
    happening and what to expect, enabling you to make decisions
    that are right for you and your family towards the end of life.

business. Health
professionals can ease and support this process knowing
that it belongs with families in communities.

     HOSPICE AWARE NE S S W E E K
     MAY 2021
     Hospice Awareness Week celebrates the services
     hospices provide throughout New Zealand. It addresses
     misconceptions that people may have around hospice care.
     Often, there is a mistaken belief that “hospice is just a
     place you go to die.” Hospice cares for people’s physical,
     emotional, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual
     needs. It helps people with any terminal or life limiting
     illness to live every moment in whatever way is important
     to them.

     DYIN G TO K NO W DAY
     8 AUGUST 2021
     Dying to Know Day is dedicated to bringing to life
     conversations and community actions around death,
     dying and bereavement. It stands for:
        •   Community led conversations about end of life care,
            death and loss.
        •   Death, dying and bereavement are social
            experiences best addressed through initiatives that
            involve the whole community. It is through family
            conversations over dinner, death cafes, school
            projects, art galleries, and workplaces that we can
            break down barriers and socialise the response
            to death. This can help build compassionate
            communities ready and able to respond to death
            and loss when it occurs.
        •   Meaningful value-based end of life planning occurs
            at any age and regardless of our health status.
        •   Planning ahead means we have the opportunity to
            communicate what we do and don’t want at the end
            of life.
        •   Developing death literacy – the practical know how
            needed for end of life planning.
