Victoria Hospice has been providing physical, emotional and spiritual care to patients and their families in Victoria, British Columbia since 1980. This care is called palliative or comfort care, and includes expert physical care as well as counselling, spiritual care and bereavement support.

Hospice palliative care is offered in patients’ homes, on our 17-bed In-Patient Unit, and as specific medical consultation to patients in other health care facilities. Almost 500 trained volunteers provide companionship and support, both on our In-Patient Unit as well as in the community. Victoria Hospice offers bereavement support to families for up to one year following at death.



About 50% of Victoria Hospice annual operating costs are not covered by our health care system, and must be funded through community donations to our Victoria Hospice and Palliative Care Foundation.  Please note: the Foundation offices have moved permanently to:

    Stadacona Centre, 1510 Fort Street

    Victoria, BC   V8S 5J2 

    Telephone number for donation or fundraising event inquiries: (250) 952-5720, or send an e-mail.
