Conference Sponsors

Leading Sponsor

This endowment fund was created in 2001 by Stephen and Arlene Waymire (Gillian's Aunt & Uncle) to honour the life of Gillian MacMichael. The purpose of the fund is to educate interdisciplinary health care professionals in Nova Scotia regarding palliative care. Gillian “GillyMac” MacMichael was an exceptional individual who had a passion for life, was gifted in her field of public relations and was well loved by her family and friends.
When Gillian required palliative care during her illness, she was blessed with outstanding and compassionate care from nurses at the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In honour of Gillian, and the caregivers who made such a difference in her life, it is hoped that through this fund, other professionals will be given the opportunity to advance their understanding of palliative care and, ultimately, make a positive difference in the
lives of others. The capital of this fund will be invested and the interest earned will be used to sponsor an annual lectureship to educate those
pursing their studies on the topic of palliative care and bereavement in Gillian's memory. The lectureship is in collaboration with the NSHPCA annual conference at the discretion of the committee and the QEII Foundation
