The NSHPCA, founded in 1994, was created to advance the philosophy and principles of palliative care. Over the years, we have evolved to collaborate closely with healthcare partners, supporting the delivery of grief and emotional wellness programs while remaining dedicated to our core mission of providing comfort and peace to Nova Scotians facing life-threatening illnesses.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to achieve comfort and peace for persons living throughout Nova Scotia who are living and dying with a life-threatening illness. The Association exists to promote the philosophy and principles of palliative care through networking, public and professional education, advocacy and research.

Healing Pathways

The Healing Pathways Community Funding Program is supported by a two-year funding commitment from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the government of Nova Scotia. NSHPCA distributes funding to groups and organizations through Healing Pathways to develop community-based initiatives that align with the Nova Scotia Community Grief and Emotional Wellness Hub Model. This fund is designed to provide direct financial support to communities most affected by the April 2020 Mass Casualty Event, as well as those across the province, in alignment with the recommendations of the Mass Casualty Commission Report.
