Central East LHIN

 

Welcome to

Hospice Northumberland


We are here to help people facing a life-threatening illness maintain their dignity, choice and quality of life while giving respite and comfort to their caregivers before and after the death of their loved ones.

"My friends treat me like I am dying but my Hospice volunteer treats me like I am alive."

 

NORTHUMBERLAND HOSPICE SERVICES - FACILITATED INTEGRATION

The Central East LHIN is partnering with Hospice Northumberland Lakeshore and Palliative Care Campbellford on a facilitated integration that will see hospice services, currently provided by these two agencies, integrated into the group of services provided by Community Care Northumberland.  An Integration Planning Team, comprised of representatives from Hospice Northumberland Lakeshore, Palliative Care Campbellford, Community Care Northumberland and the LHIN  has just begun meeting and will, over the summer, develop an implementation plan to be reviewed by their respective boards. The goal is to have the plan approved in early fall and to then immediately begin implementing the new integrated model for hospice services in Northumberland.   http://www.centraleastlhin.on.ca/Page.aspx?id=96
