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.
A Season for Appreciation
This time of the year, as we gather with loved ones, we reflect on the comfort and support our programs bring to the community.
PCSBV relies on donations to offer services like Compassionate Companions, Caregiver Wellness, and Grief Support. With no government funding, your generosity ensures we can continue providing comfort, peace, and dignity to those in need of palliative care in the Bow Valley.
Help us make a difference today
Thank you for participating in our fine wines and spirits online fundraising auction! We raised over $65,000 through this initiative.
The proceeds will benefit our Society and the work PCSBV does in the Bow Valley.
This opportunity is possible thanks to a generous donation of the contents of a family wine and spirit cellar.
Golf for Hospice - 2024
Thank you to all the participants, sponsors, and patrons of our 6th annual Golf For Hospice fundraising tournament! Together, we raised $77,000 through donations, gifts-in-kind, sponsorships, and participation.
We enjoyed a beautiful day of golf with nearly 100 dedicated golfers supporting PCSBV, filled with fun, good conversation, and successful fundraising to expand our programming and build our future hospice building.
Wildfire Grief Support
Our thoughts are with all wildfire evacuees and for all those involved in emergency response to contain the fires and assist with the evacuations.
Please contact our office directly at 403 707 7111 or info@pcsbv.ca to connect to a grief support session.
With generosity of sponsors, donors, and grant funding we can provide these sessions without a fee.
