          More than just hospice...

          Mission: Quality Palliative Care

          Patients + Loved ones + Caregivers

          We are a registered charitable organisation on the island of Barbados, providing quality palliative care to persons regardless of age, ethnicity, social standing, religious or spiritual beliefs.

          Mission: Advocacy & Lobbying

          Patients + Caregivers + Community

          Advocating on behalf of patients who are suffering from life-limiting illness or who have end-of-life needs, as well as networking with other organisations on behalf of these patients and their relatives.

          Mission: Education

          Caregivers + Community + EVERYONE

          Reaching as many persons as possible to educate on the importance of good palliative care, training individuals on various aspects of palliative care and filling knowledge gaps within the community as a whole.
