“Your thoughtfulness just shows how much the staff and volunteers are needed in times of family hardship. We shall not forget the Palliative Care Unit.”

Thank You Cape Breton!
The Society’s successes are a result of our partnership with the Cape Breton District Health Authority and the amazing people of the Cape Breton community. The collaborative efforts ensure that the support service offered meets the varying and ever important needs of palliative care patients and their families. Let us continue to make a difference together!

The Cape Breton Jazz Society (2011) held a concert at the Dobson Yacht Club in Westmount in memory of Denne Burchell. As a result, $4000 was presented to the Cape Breton Hospice Palliative Care Society.
