Government Grant
Palliative and end-of-life care grant fund
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
