In a press release earlier this month, Heartland Hospice announced that their first palliative care room has been completed and is already in use.
Heartland Hospice partnered with the Saskatchewan Health Authority on the project, making the room available through the Five Hills Health Region.
The hospice care room takes a holistic approach to end of life care, offering dignity and comfort to the patient and their family.
The palliative care room is located at Pioneer Lodge on Albert Street and is fully furnished thanks to a generous donation from the Early Bird Lions Club earlier this year.
Heartland Hospice stated in their press release that they are excited about the announcement, as their vision is “to establish a hospice palliative care facility in our community that provides physical, spiritual, social, and psychological care for individuals and their families.”
Those interested in benefiting from the palliative care room are asked to contact the Five Hills Access Centre at 1 (866) 211-5696, or to discuss the idea with a physician.
