At the heart of our mission are four foundational pillars that guide everything we do: Education, Advocacy, Sustainability, and Support. These pillars reflect our long-term commitment to meaningful change and compassionate community service.
We believe that knowledge empowers action. Through public workshops, resources, and community engagement, we provide education that raises awareness, dispels myths, and fosters understanding on the issues we care deeply about.
We are a voice for those who need one. Our advocacy efforts aim to influence positive change in policy, practice, and public perception—ensuring that dignity, justice, and fairness are at the center of the conversation.
We are committed to creating lasting impact. By building responsible programs and partnerships, we ensure that our work is grounded in long-term thinking—designed to support generations to come.
We stand beside individuals and families with compassion and care. Whether through direct services, peer connection, or community programs, our support is consistent, responsive, and rooted in respect for each person’s unique journey.
We are a voice for the community
We are an ear to public need
We are a hand in action
At Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society, we support seniors, individuals, and their families to receive compassionate programs, education, and advocacy to improve quality of life from diagnosis to dying and grieving.
Palliative Care is a specialized client-centred end-of-life care involving comfort measures. It aims to relieve suffering and improve the quality of living and dying.
Palliative Care supports people living with life-threatening illnesses. It provides care for patients and their loved ones to meet each individual’s needs, such as:
Care can be provided at home, in hospitals, in nursing homes, or in free standing hospices.
Palliative care considers that dying is an important part of living. It is essential to manage pain and other symptoms effectively so that those facing death can devote their energies not to fighting physical discomfort, but to embrace the time they have left with their loved ones.
GPPCS is always looking for opportunities to increase awareness of palliative care in our community and region.
GPPCS Events Committee works in the region to increase awareness of palliative care. Service clubs, organizations, and groups may contact us at admin@gpcare.ca to request us to attend a meeting to present.
We provide financial support for LEAP Training and volunteer training.
Information booths are set up in the community to provide information to the general public
We network with other agencies and societies to ensure they are aware of the services offered to best suit the needs of their clients.
GPPCS advocates for end-of-life care resources in our community and region.
Please contact our office at admin@gpcare.ca for more information.
As a not-for-profit, we do not charge our clients for any of the services we provide. All we ask is when borrowing our equipment that it be brought back in the same condition when it left.
Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society relies on fundraising events, donations from our community, and grants.
