Vision
Quality Hospice Palliative Care for all individuals in the HNHB LHIN area.

Mandate
The HNHB Hospice Palliative Care Network is a network of stakeholders who work together collaboratively to plan, coordinate, implement and evaluate a system of quality hospice palliative care across the HNHB LHIN area.

Values
The HNHB Hospice Palliative Care Network adopts the values of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) Model to Guide Hospice Palliative Care: Based on National Principles and Norms of Practice, which recognizes and supports the following values:
• The intrinsic value of each person as an autonomous and unique individual
• The value of life, the natural process of death, and the fact that both provide opportunities for personal growth and self-actualization
• The need to address patients’ and families’ suffering, expectations, needs, hopes and fears
• Care is only provided when the patient and/or family is prepared to accept it
• Care is guided by quality of life as defined by the individual
• Caregivers enter into a therapeutic relationship with patients and families based on dignity and integrity
• A unified response to suffering strengthens communities
