Outcare Foundation The, Ottawa, ON

We are the only independent foundation dedicated to raising funds for palliative care across our region. Our community-based, region-wide mandate means that we are not tied to any particular service, care provider, government or other funding agency, letting us provide support where it is needed most. For the first time in our community, a regional plan outlining improvements in palliative care has been approved. Together, experts, caregivers and service providers from across our region have set out a vision for improvements - a vision that would see palliative care and support available to those who need it, when they need it most. With a plan for change and a commitment to make it happen, momentum is growing. However, there remains a great need for additional resources. This is where the OutCare Foundation can help. We have identified four priority areas where we know additional funding will have an impact on the availability and quality of palliative care in our region, namely: - Providing Care When and Where It is Needed; - Supporting Families, Caregivers and Volunteers; - Connecting People to Information; and - Expanding Knowledge through Education. The OutCare Foundation is dedicated to helping organizations in the palliative care network. All patients and families should receive the care they need, in the setting of their choice for their important end-of-life journey.
