Welcome

The Palliative Care Society of the Bow Valley is here for you!

Diagnosis of a life-changing illness can leave you and your loved ones feeling isolated, lonely, and afraid. Together we find a balance between understanding your diagnosis, nurturing your courage in the face of challenge and change, embracing your new normal, and preparing you to continue to live life for a long as possible-on your own terms.

We believe you, your family, and all Bow Valley residents have the right to compassionate palliative care, whether at home, hospice, hospital, or wherever you choose. Every day we share the path with those impacted by a life-changing illness, loss, and grief.

The palliative care journey is different for everyone. We create pathways to care, ensuring no one is left behind.

Charity of Choice for BOWDA December Luncheon

A huge thank you to BOWDA and its members for the incredible support towards their charity partners at the Christmas 2024 luncheon. In just two hours, BOWDA raised nearly $90,000 for the Christmas Spirit Campaign and PCSBV. And the donations are still coming in!

The generosity of everyone attending and their organizations is outstanding and will provide much needed funds to PCSBV to continue to support the growing demands of the Bow Valley community who have experienced a life changing diagnosis, grief and loss. Thank you!

If you weren’t able to make a donation on the day, you can still contribute to PCSBV online at PCSBV Donations or by dropping off a cheque at our office.

 

Double Your Impact!

The demand for Palliative and Grief supports in the Bow Valley community is increasing and your support is needed. Please consider donating today and help us to work with others, like John and Francis, to live their best lives on their terms with comfort, dignity and excellence.

 

As a further benefit, the first $20,000 in donations received by December 31 will be evenly matched through the generosity of the PCSBV board! $50 becomes $100.

 

There's never been a better time to give!
