THE PATH TO EXCELLENCE

With consistent mentorship and learning, these heroes make a profound difference in the lives of individuals and their families navigating the challenges of life-threatening illnesses.
THE APCC DEFINITION OF PALLIATIVE CARE
Palliative care is the physical, psychological, social and spiritual care provided by an inter-disciplinary team of experts to anyone with a life-threatening illness and their loved ones.
Care is offered from the point of diagnosis and extends to bereavement support if needed. Over 90% of the care that APCC members provide is home-based with a focus on promoting quality of life.
