We recognize that access to appropriate and timely palliative and end-of-life care is important. This is why the Alberta government committed $20 million for palliative and end-of-life care initiatives over a 4-year period to address these priorities:

raise public awareness of palliative care and how and when to access it
develop effective caregiver supports to support Albertans in their home and community
establish and implement palliative care education, training, and standards for health professionals
continue to shift from hospital to community-based home and hospice care
