Hospice Whanganui is encouraging the community to read a recent feature published by The Spinoff exploring the future of palliative care in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The article examines the growing demand for hospice and palliative care services nationwide as New Zealand’s population ages, alongside the challenges hospices face in continuing to provide compassionate care to patients and whānau.
At Hospice Whanganui, we know how important specialist palliative care is – supporting dignity, comfort, and quality of life for patients while also caring for the wider whānau around them.
Every day, our teams walk alongside people through some of life’s most significant moments, providing patient- and whānau-led care guided by compassion, connection, and respect.
We’re grateful to our staff, volunteers, donors, and wider community who help make this care possible for Whanganui whānau.
