Pallium Canada

Pallium is an Ottawa-based pan Canadian, registered charitable organization that focuses on building professional and community capacity to help improve the quality and accessibility of palliative care in Canada. As the largest provider of palliative care education in Canada, Pallium Canada delivers award-winning, evidence-based training that transforms frontline health care practice.

Pallium was founded in Canada, by Canadians and in service to Canadian health care professionals, patients and families, and communities. Pallium is a community of clinicians, educators, researchers, carers, administrators, volunteers, Aboriginal leaders and citizen advocates working together to accelerate the integration of palliative care in Canadian communities and health care systems.

Pallium’s vision is that palliative care is everyone’s business, and every community has the potential to transform our society into a skilled, informed, and compassionate one with respect to palliative care. Whether a health care organization, health care professional, caregiver or community leader, everyone has a role to play.
