Hospice is not just a building, it's a philosophy of care. Our goal is to help people make the most of their lives.
COVID-19 Update
Hospice Whanganui will remain open and will continue to provide services to patients, whanau and other health providers throughout the COVID-19 situation.
Your health and wellbeing, and that of our community are of paramount importance and we have put measures in place to safeguard that.
Please call us on 0800 68 33 68 or email us at admin@hospicewhanganui.org.nz if you have any questions.
Each of us faces death as uniquely as we live our life. Our experience tell us that most people hope that when death comes to us or someone close to us, it will be peaceful and free of pain.
We provide specialist palliative care for people with cancer and non-cancer life-limiting illnesses, at all stages of their illness. We believe that everyone deserves to have the best quality of life possible. The care we provide for our patients is holistic, caring for not just your physical needs but also your emotional, spiritual, and social needs too. We care for family/whanau and friends as well, both before and after death. All our services are free of charge. The sooner we’re involved the more we can help.
I’ve recently been referred.
If you've been referred to Hospice by your health professional, we'd love to answer all your questions and set your mind at ease.
I’m a carer or family/whanau
We're here to provide practical and emotional support for family members, whanau and caregivers too.
How can I help?
There are many ways you can support Hospice, both practically and financially. It's a great way to give back to our community.
